One thing spooky is afoot within the newest trailer for The Watchers, one other new summer time film from M. Night time Shyamalan, who debuted his Lure trailer simply final week.
The Watchers stars Dakota Fanning as Mina, a 28-year-old whose journey to a distant Irish forest goes disastrously awry. One second, she’s driving via beautiful, untouched nature. The subsequent, she’s working for her life from an unseen risk. Her solely shelter — a mysterious bunker in the midst of nowhere — seems to be nearly as good as a jail.
On this bunker, Mina and her fellow prisoners (performed by Barbarian‘s Georgina Campbell, Outlander‘s Oliver Finnegan, and The Northman‘s Olwen Fouéré) function spectacle for an viewers of mysterious creatures. Nobody is aware of who they’re, what they appear to be, or what they need. However one factor is evident: They don’t want any of their performers breaking out.
Whereas M. Night time (king of twists and seashores that make you outdated) serves as a producer on The Watchers, it is his daughter Ishana Night time Shyamalan who helms, making her directorial debut from her tailored screenplay of the A.M. Shine novel of the identical identify. In the meantime, her sister Saleka Shyamalan seems in Lure as a pop star referred to as Woman Raven.
So, this summer time brings household enjoyable in a sure-to-be wild method.
The Watchers hits theaters June 14.
