After his last film in 2019, Shyamalan is now ready to present fans with two new projects of his, one of them titled ‘Old’, a thriller film based on Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ novel ‘Sandcastle.’ The film is set to release in July this year and a trailer has dropped at the Super Bowl this Sunday for the same. Manoj Nelliyattu Shyamalan is an American filmmaker and actor, known for his films that are entwined with themes of the supernatural and almost always end with a plot twist. Shyamalan is best known for his trilogy of films titled ‘Unbreakable,’ ‘Split,’ and ‘Glass’. Other than this, he has worked on one of the most iconic horror films ‘The Sixth Sense,’ starring Bruce Willis, Toni Collette and Haley Joel Osment.
What we know from trailer breakdown
Recently, a short teaser for the film was posted on the official Twitter handle of Shyamalan where we see a family of three travelling in a bus and we can hear the child ask his parents if they have reached, as the scene cuts to the film’s title being displayed with ocean waves in its font and a flash of what seems like a warning that states: “It’s only a matter of time.” Now, the trailer bearing more details about the plotline has come. Continuing from where the short footage left off and doing justice to its title, it seems from the thirty-second clip that the film will centre around a group of people on a beach that cannot stop aging rapidly. Where the son is six years old and turns into a young adult by afternoon, we see the daughter age at an extreme speed where she goes from being a toddler to an adult woman who is now in labour to deliver a baby. Although the exact storyline cannot be known, the perpetrator seems to be the beach these people are on.
