Deadline is reporting that Joaquin Phoenix is in negotiations to reunite with M. Night Shyamalan for a new feature project that will start shooting this November in the director’s hometown of Philadelphia.
Phoenix and Shyamalan also worked together previously on Signs in 2002 and The Village in 2004.
As with most Shyamalan projects, the logline is being kept fiercely under wraps.
The new project will be on the lower end of the budgetary scale, more in keeping with The Visit (budgeted at $5 million and fully financed by Shyamalan).
The Visit looks pretty solid and has some serious word of mouth here in Chicago. I expect a huge opening.
