SIGNS director ventures into THE WOODS

M. Night Shyamalan is working on his next project. The director of SIGNS, THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE will begin filming THE WOODS this coming October. In talks to star in Shyamalan's fifth film are Ashton Kutcher (THAT 70s SHOW), Kirsten Dunst (SPIDER-MAN) and Joaquin Phoenix (SIGNS).

Unlike his earlier films, THE WOODS is set more than a century ago in 1897 but it does continue Shyamalan's curiousity with the supernatural. The picture revolves around a community of townfolk who live with the knowledge that a race of mythical beings live in the woods around their village.


Shyamalan negotiated a deal with The Walt Disney Company to direct two more movies, of which THE WOODS is the first. He may do another film for another studio after completing WOODS, which is now targeted for a summer 2004 release.
