Ishana Night Shyamalan is set to make her directorial debut with The Watchers, an adaptation of the A.M. Shine novel of the same name, according to Deadline. The project was acquired by New Line Cinema after a very demanded bid. Shyamalan had previously worked as a second unit director on films such as Old and the recently released Knock at the Cabin. She also found success as a screenwriter in Apple TV+'s science fiction show, Servant.
The novel is a horror adventure set in the remote forests of Galway, where humans are kept as pets by mysterious creatures. Mina is a young woman whose car breaks down when she gets close to the forest. After escaping the creatures, she remains inside a concrete bunker with other people that are kept in observation by the mysterious animals. It is up to her and the rest of the kidnapped people to figure out who the watchers are, and why they keep humans inside a cage. M.
