In an Instagram post (opens in new tab), Shyamalan said, “One week finished on [Knock at the Cabin] such intricate performances this week. Very dark, emotional film. One take shook me up so much I had to walk away to collect myself. Hopefully you’ll feel it as well when you guys see it.”

Shyamalan’s calling card throughout his career has been a long, long list of people, places, and stories that get under a viewer’s skin. For one to go as far as affecting the director in that way makes us very excited indeed.

Little is known about Knock at the Cabin’s subject matter so far, but we do know who is going to be in the new movie, which is dated for February 3, 2023.

Dave Bautista (Army of the Dead) is set to be joined by Nikki Amuka-Bird and Rupert Grint (who have previous with Shyamalan in Old and the Apple series Servant respectively). Ben Aldridge (Pennyworth) and The Matrix Resurrections’ Jonathan Groff round out the current cast.

Knock at the Cabin is set to be the director’s 15th feature film. His most recent release, Old, became his sixth to top the box office and grossed $90m worldwide.

Deadline (opens in new tab) reports that Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter, The Matrix Resurrections) will be joined by Pennyworth lead Ben Aldridge for the director’s next release, which is set to hit cinemas on February 3, 2023.

Knock at the Cabin already has an intriguing lineup of stars at Shyamalan’s disposal. Dave Bautista (Army of the Dead), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter), and Nikki Amuka-Bird (Old) are all set to appear – though plot details are under wraps for the time being.

Shyamalan – who has seen incredible success for multiple decades as a director since his 1999 breakout The Sixth Sense – previously gave GamesRadar+ a peek into his creative process as he’s gotten older.

“The whole thing is ‘how do I take away the safety nets’? How do I not do things in a way that’s comfortable? Who can I put with me that makes me think new again?” Shyamalan said. “You have to hear true vulnerability in the voice of the artists, that they’re seeing this for the first time. So, in the middle of your career, 20 years into your career, you have to figure out ways to be completely new and a student again.”

Groff, meanwhile, is set to reunite with fellow Frozen alumn Kristen Bell for movie musical Molly and the Moon. The undated release is written and directed by How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
