M. Night Shyamalan is turning his own penning stories into a franchise. That will be an official one, said Variety and EO. The first of his Night Chronicles franchise will be Devil.
Night Chronicles contains three films to be released over three years and will all be based on Shyamalan's story but will be directed by other directors. Devil will be directed by Drew and John Erick Dowdle, the duo who also directed Green Tea Movie's last year best horror film, Quarantine; while the screenplay is been written by Brian Nelson (30 Days of Night).
Chris Messina (Vicky Christina Barcelona) will be starring in it. Can we say an attempt by Shyamalan to establish himself as an Alfred Hitchcock follow up?
