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.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
