After “Wayward Pines” and The Visit, I have rejuvenated belief in M. Night Shyamalan, who is already prepping his next lower budgeted genre film.
Anya Taylor Joy (pictured in The Witch), Betty Buckley (The Happening), Jessica Sula (“Skins”) and Haley Lu Richardson have joined James McAvoy in the untitled thriller, Variety reports.
Joy and Buckley are signing on for lead roles opposite McAvoy, while Sula and Richardson will round out the cast in supporting roles.
Shyamalan will write, direct and produce.
As with any Shyamalan project, plot details are under lock and key, but the film will likely include elements of the supernatural.
Production is expected to start this November in Philadelphia.
