M. Night Shyamalan’s Old has gotten in on the Fortnite craze with a brand-new Escape Map out now for PC and consoles. Inspired by the film, the map sees you and up to six friends trying to beat the clock and leave the island. To do so, you’ll have to find resources and craft tools, which is no easy task with time ticking away.

To get in on the fun, head to the Epic Games link above and enter the island code on the page when you start up Fortnite.

Old, starring Gael García Bernal, Vicky Krieps, Rufus Sewell, Ken Leung, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abbey Lee, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Embeth Davidtz, Eliza Scanlen, Emun Elliott, Kathleen Chalfant and Thomasin McKenzie, and based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters, is out now in theatres. And if you haven’t, check out Meg’s review of the film.

One of this year’s big Super Bowl spots to drop was the first look at M. Night Shyamalan‘s latest thriller, Old, in which a family rapidly ages on a mysterious beach. (Watch the teaser here.)

“This summer, Shyamalan unveils a chilling, mysterious new thriller about a family on a tropical holiday who discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly … reducing their entire lives into a single day.”

While the footage already dropped, today we have a still, which is a sappy and sentimental look at the aforementioned family: (from left) Prisca (Vicky Krieps), Maddox (Thomasin McKenzie), Guy (Gael García Bernal) and Trent (Luca Faustino Rodriguez).

Shyamalan’s career has been on the “return to form” path for the past several years, returning to the horror genre back in 2015 with The Visit and going on to make a surprise sequel to Unbreakable with Split in 2016; which was of course followed by true sequel Glass in 2019, noted John Squires.

The film’s current theatrical date is July 23, 2021.

Here’s the trailer, if you haven’t seen it…
