M. Night Shyamalan’s Next Is Called ‘Knock at the Cabin’; In Theaters Feb. 3, 2023
While both critics and audiences weren’t kind to M. Night Shyamalan‘s Old, I found it quite enjoyable and look forward to his next foray into horror.
It was announced Wednesday night that Shyamalan’s next is officially titled Knock at the Cabin, which Universal Pictures will release in theaters on February 3, 2023, a few weeks earlier than originally slated. This sets the film up for a strong box office run throughout Valentine’s Day weekend and keeps it at distance from Disney’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
In a previous social post this past summer, the director teased the project: “The next one. On third draft. Super tight. Under a 100 pages.” A nice thought considering the epilogue for Old ran about 15 minutes too long.
Shyamalan is also be producing a thriller titled The Vanishings at Caddo Lake, which is being helmed by Celine Held & Logan George (Topside) and revolves around an 8-year-old girl who mysteriously vanishes on Caddo Lake, when a series of past deaths and disappearances begin to link together, forever altering a broken family’s history. Shyamalan is producing that through his Blinding Edge Pictures.

Deadline first reported the news.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
