Jake Gyllenhaal is planning to meet with M. Night Shyamalan for their upcoming collaborative project – Shyamalan’s next feature film. This movie will draw inspiration from a fresh romance novel written by Nicholas Sparks, with both men contributing separately to the story. Specifically, Sparks wrote the book and Shyamalan wrote the screenplay on his own.
This film represents M. Night Shyamalan’s second venture into creating a feature film from written sources, following his adaptation of Paul Tremblay’s horror novel “The Cabin at the End of the World” into the 2023 thriller “Knock at the Cabin.” It’s unclear if this new project should be considered an adaptation, as Shyamalan and Sparks are simultaneously adapting the same story for their respective mediums.
Shyamalan and Ashwin Rajan, through their production company Blinding Edge Pictures, are taking charge of the film’s production. Additionally, Theresa Park and Marc Bienstock, who have worked regularly with Sparks, will also be involved. Sparks is serving in the role of executive producer for this project.
As of now, no production studio has been connected to the project. Warner Bros., who distributed M. Night Shyamalan’s previous film titled “Trap” – a black comedy thriller that hit theaters last August and grossed $82 million worldwide – was the one responsible for its distribution. Before “Trap,” Shyamalan had a 10-year collaboration with Universal Pictures.
Recently, Gyllenhaal made an appearance in Amazon MGM’s reimagining of the action hit “Road House,” which reportedly shattered streaming records on Prime Video at its premiere. Additionally, he was featured in Apple TV+’s critically-acclaimed crime series “Presumed Innocent.” Upcoming projects for the actor include Guy Ritchie’s suspenseful film “In the Grey” and monster movie “The Bride,” helmed by his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Sparks, an acclaimed writer known for his top-selling books, has seen over 130 million copies of his works purchased worldwide. Previously, some of his stories have been turned into successful films such as “The Notebook” and “Dear John.
News of the project was first reported by Jeff Sneider.
