Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has announced today that filming is now underway on his next project for Universal Pictures, with the director taking to social media to share a teaser poster for the thriller and revealing its title as Old.
As he did with his recent films The Visit, Split and Glass, Shyamalan is self-financing Old, with Universal distributing. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but it has previously been reported that the film is inspired by the French graphic novel Sandcastle, which revolves around a body discovered on a beach.
