M. Night Shyamalon is still making movies, to the chagrin of Film Students across the nation. His newest feature is set to begin production in November, but details remain vague about the project. What is known is that James McAvoy is in talks to replace Joaquin Phoenix in a role that we know absolutely nothing about. Phoenix presumably has a full schedule as he edges towards the east coast.
The project is being produced by Jason Blum, who has worked with Shyamalon on Signs, The Village, and this year’s The Visit.
Knowing Shyamalon, there has to a twist. My guess: James McAvoy rips off his face to reveal Joaquin Phoenix underneath.
