Release Date June 7, 2024 Director Ishana Shyamalan Cast Dakota Fanning , Georgina Campbell , Olwen Fouéré , Siobhan Hewlett Writers A.M. Shine , Ishana Shyamalan Question: What can moviegoers expect when they experience your film in theaters? SHYAMALAN: So many things. It’s such a wonderful novel that A.M. Shine wrote. The main thing that I was drawn to was the classical structure of it. It’s a character who gets taken into this very mysterious world that then just keeps expanding and expanding. It had this fusion of very classical, structural beats in a very modern world. And then, when I read the book, it’s such a visually rich book and your imagination just runs wild when you read it.
Ishana Shyamalan Was Most Inspired By Japanese Filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki Aside from your father, who are some of your other filmmaking influences, particularly for The Watchers? SHYAMALAN: It was such a wonderful thing. I worked on Servant for three years and it was great. That particular TV format is so wonderful because you get to just play with form in a really safe space. There’s already a look and a vibe created, and you get to practice different skill sets within that framework that’s already been built for you. It was really wonderful, just trying to see how, within a 30-minute episode format, you could make structure better and make the characters work better.
