Principal Photography begins on February 19th. Did my final tweaks to the script in my snowbound state yesterday.
Btw had a read thru with the cast. It was the smallest table of any movie. About ten of us in a small room at at hotel. Amazing!
There were three people there who hadn’t read the script and read smaller parts. They literally jumped out of their seats.
The cast is sensational. The performances were so captivating. I was walking on air as I went home. I hope I don’t screw this up.
He’s also put up a few images of filming in the snow. Head to his Twitter to see them.
A site calledM. Night Fanssays two of the roles inSundowningcould beBruce WillisandDenzel Washington, but that’s not confirmed. (Willis wasrecently reportedas the star of Shyamalan’s long-gestating scriptLabor of Love, however.) I’m sure we’ll hear much more about the film soon, once filming is complete. But a small budget scary film? That’s exactly what I want to see Shyamalan doing.
