Joaquin Phoenix Reuniting with M. Night Shyamalan?
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.
Up next from director Rob Savage (Host) is Other Mommy, an adaptation of Josh Malerman’s (Bird Box) novel Incidents Around the House, and the trailer has arrived.
Universal will release Other Mommy in theaters October 9, 2026.
Watch the official Other Mommy trailer below to begin this domestic nightmare.
From producer James Wan, one of the most influential architects of modern horror, and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, behind Backrooms and Obsession, comes a terrifying trip from breakout genre director Rob Savage, into the darkening world of a young girl, Bela, who forms a relationship with a sinister entity in her home who looks uncannily like her own mother.
Academy Award® winner Jessica Chastain (It Chapter Two, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) stars in dual roles as Bela’s mother and as “Other Mommy,” a manifestation of the entity.
Jay Duplass (Transparent, Industry) plays Daddo, Bela’s father, and Arabella Olivia Clark (The Housemaid, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle) plays Bela. The impressive supporting cast includes Actor Award nominee Dichen Lachman (Severance), Emmy and Tony Award nominee Arian Moayed (Succession) and screen legend Karen Allen (Indiana Jones).
Other Mommy is directed by Rob Savage (Host, The Boogeyman) from a screenplay by WGA award winner Nathan Elston, writer for the Emmy-winning sensation Succession, based on the New York Times bestselling novel Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).
