graphic novel sandcastle by pierre oscar levy

Night Shyamalan’s first film 2019’s “Glass,” which was the followup to 2016’s “Split.” The source material behind “Old” tells an existential horror story about mysterious and rapid aging occurring on a beach, where a group of tourists seem unable to leave.

Inspired by the Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters’ graphic novel “Sandcastle,” “Old” is M. Watch the latest trailer below for the film, which Universal Pictures opens on July 23. He directs Gael García Bernal and Vicky Krieps as parents of a brood of children who appear to be aging rapidly for no explicable reason. Night Shyamalan’s “ Old,” the Academy Award-nominated director’s latest psychological horror film. And just last week, he posted a photo of himself in front of a beach which could serve as a location for the movie.A family vacation spirals into a surreal, time-bending nightmare in M. There were actually some clues to the nature of this top-secret project, as an anonymous comment on Deadline's scoop about Bernal's casting promised Shyamalan was cooking up 'a castaway/desert island supernatural thriller,' while Shyamalan himself actually posted a photo of Sandcastle back in June 2017, saying he was reading it for inspiration as he wrote the script for Glass. Production is already under way in the Dominican Republic.

Shyamalan and his Blinding Edge Pictures partner Ashwin Rajan produced Old with Marc Bienstock, while Steven Schneider served as an executive producer. Gael Garcia Bernal leads an ensemble cast that includes Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Vicky Krieps, Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Ken Leung, Rufus Sewell, Embeth Davidtz and Emun Elliott. The graphic novel doesn't really explain the metaphorical mystery at its core, but Old isn't a straight adaptation, which is why it's merely inspired by Sandcastle rather than based on the graphic novel outright. The graphic novel is described as an existential horror story about the inevitability of death that plays like a Kafka-esque episode of The Twilight Zone or Lost. Indeed, Sandcastle follows a group of 13 people who aren't able to leave a mysterious, secluded beach that hides a dark secret involving time, which is referenced on the Old poster.
