M. night shyamalan's 'remain' set for october 2026 release

M. Night Shyamalan's new film, 'Remain,' is slated for release on October 23, 2026. The film, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is based on an original story co-created by Shyamalan and novelist Nicholas Sparks. Phoebe Dynevor and Ashley Walters are also set to star in the film. Shyamalan and Sparks are independently developing the project, with Sparks writing a novel adaptation also titled 'Remain,' due out October 7, 2025. This unique approach sees both a film and a novel exploring the same love story. Shyamalan and Ashwin Rajan are producing through Blinding Edge Pictures, alongside Marc Bienstock and Theresa Park. The film's release date pits it against Jordan Peele's next Universal movie, potentially leading to a scheduling shift for one of the titles. 'Remain' marks Shyamalan's return to directing after 'Trap,' and continues his exploration of genre themes, promising a compelling cinematic experience.
