Here’s a twist for you: M. Night Shyamalan‘s next movie is the highest-testing film of his career.

That’s according to the prolific writer-director, who took the stage at Warner Bros. Discovery’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on Wednesday to tout his upcoming film, Remain.

Remain is a romantic thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Phoebe Dynevor, and Julie Hagerty. The project is co-created with author Nicholas Sparks and tells the story of an architect recovering from depression who moves to Cape Cod and encounters a mysterious woman. The creative collaboration resulted in a bestselling novel (released last year) and an upcoming film (coming Feb. 5, 2027).
