M Night Shyamalan’s chilling new mystery thriller, Old, adapted from a graphic novel by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters, is released in cinemas on Friday.
The pair’s Sandcastle inspired the Glass film-maker’s latest work, which tells the story of a family who discover the secluded beach they’ve visited causes them to age rapidly, reducing their entire lives to a single day.
Golden Globe winner Gael García Bernal leads an all-star cast that includes Alex Wolff alongsideVicky Krieps, Rufus Sewell, Ken Leung, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abbey Lee, Aaron Pierre, Embeth Davidtz and Eliza Scanlen, among others.
The much-anticipated film was slated to premiere in February, but has been pushed back to a global release tomorrow.
Shyamalan is best known for his other mystery thrillers, which include The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village and After Earth.
