M. Night Shyamalan’s Old Trailer Teases a Mysterious New Thriller

May 27, 2021

Universal Pictures has released the official Old trailer for Oscar-nominated filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan’s newest horror thriller film, starring Gael García Bernal, Thomasin McKenzie, Vicky Krieps, and Alex Wolff. The video features a family of four as their vacation in paradise turns into a complete nightmare when they find themselves trapped on a beach where they mysteriously get older and older by the second.

The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 23, pitting Old against two other high-profile films in the form of Paramount Pictures’ Henry Golding-led G.I. Joe spinoff Snake Eyes, and Sony Pictures’ fourth and final animated installment Hotel Transylvania: Transformania.

Based on Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ acclaimed graphic novel Sandcastle, visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan unveils a chilling, mysterious new thriller titled Old about a family on a tropical holiday who discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly… reducing their entire lives into a single day.
