Not only has the notoriously twist-fond filmmaker found his next big project but he’s also found his star. According to Deadline, “Dune” star Dave Bautista will lead the feature, which is titled “Knock at the Cabin.” As is typical with Shyamalan projects, the plot is being kept tightly under wraps but it is currently being described as a horror, thriller, and mystery. The multihyphenate will write and direct and “also produce with Ashwin Rajan under the filmmaker’s Blinding Edge Pictures banner alongside Marc Bienstock and Steven Schneider,” Deadline reports. Universal Pictures will produce and distribute. The feature is currently expected for theatrical release on Feb. 3, 2023.
