Announced in early 2023 soon after Knock at the Cabin hit theaters, M. Night Shyamalan’s next horror film will be his first release under his new deal with Warner Bros. Its plot is, well… predictably mysterious. (August 2)
Actually, the list of mysterious films from big-name directors that we hope are coming in 2024 (or still coming at all, depending on the project) is surprisingly robust. There’s Darren Aronofsky’s supernatural Adrift, starring Jared Leto and adapted from a story by The Ring’s Koji Suzuki; it was first announced in early 2021. There’s David F. Sandberg’s return to genre after his Shazam detour, Below, announced as a Netflix project in April 2022. Zach Creggers has Weapons in the works after his 2022 breakout Barbarians; it was announced in January 2023 and a few months later added the red-hot Pedro Pascal to its cast. Chris Weitz’s Blumhouse release They Listen, starring John Cho and Katharine Waterston, has bumped its date around a few times and is still TBD.
And we’re not really sure if John Krasinki’s IF is even supposed to be a horror movie, but the trailer sure scared us. IF, at least, is locked in for a May 17 release.
