J.J. Abrams Teases Us With ‘Stranger’ Viral; What Is It?!!!

JJ Abrams is the master at keeping a tight lip on his projects (he calls it “the mystery box”), which I love because it leads to a heavy amount of anticipation for each film. What he did with Cloverfield was had us all literally freaking out online, and then took it to an entirely new level with Super 8. He’s up to his old tricks with a new top secret project just teased on his Bad Robot Productions YouTube page.

What is Stranger? Well, nobody knows exactly, but there is one clue – at the end of the teaser there’s a visual of a man with his lips sewn shut. It also opens with a shot of the stars and some dialogue that makes me believe it’s alien related. I guess we’ll just have to be patient and wait for more clues from the “mystery box” to be released.

“He arrived knowing nothing of himself. Who is he? Soon he will know. Because what begins at the water shall end there. And what ends there shall once more begin. This is what happens when we become lost, when we vanish, when we are erased and reborn.”

In the wake of this week’s brand new trailer, Ishana Night Shyamalan’s upcoming horror movie The Watchers once again has a new release date. And as the headline of this article suggests, New Line Cinema has moved it back to its original release date. Say what?!

The Watchers had originally been set for theatrical release on June 7 before being recently bumped to June 14. But we’ve learned tonight that it’s been moved back into the June 7 slot.

That’s Hollywood for ya. In any event, watch this week’s new trailer below.

The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.

The Watchers stars Dakota Fanning (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Oliver Finnegan (“Creeped Out”) and Olwen Fouere (The Northman).

The upcoming mystery-horror film is produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan and Nimitt Mankad. The executive producers are Jo Homewood and Stephen Dembitzer.

Joining writer/director Shyamalan behind-the-camera are director of photography Eli Arenson (“Lamb,” “Hospitality”), production designer Ferdia Murphy (“Lola,” “Finding You”), editor Job ter Burg (“Benedetta,” “Elle”) and costume design by Frank Gallacher (“Sebastian,” “Aftersun”). The music is by Abel Korzeniowski (“Till,” “The Nun”).

The Watchers is based on the novel by A.M. Shine.
