M. Night Shyamalan Currently Making Microbudget Film Called 'Sundowning'
After some big budget missteps, M. Night Shyamalan is dialing things back for his next movie. The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable director is currently filming a small film called Sundowning, which reportedly only has a cast and crew of 10.
Shyamalan is revealing small details about the film on his Twitter, where he posted this image of the title:
Here are some other tweets revealing info on the film:
In Philly, under a foot of snow. Crews digging out to get to our house where we are shooting the microfilm.

Principal Photography begins on February 19th. Did my final tweaks to the script in my snowbound state yesterday.

Btw had a read thru with the cast. It was the smallest table of any movie. About ten of us in a small room at at hotel. Amazing!

There were three people there who hadn't read the script and read smaller parts. They literally jumped out of their seats.

The cast is sensational. The performances were so captivating. I was walking on air as I went home. I hope I don't screw this up.

He's also put up a few images of filming in the snow. Head to his Twitter to see them.
A site called M. Night Fans says two of the roles in Sundowning could be Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington, but that's not confirmed. (Willis was recently reported as the star of Shyamalan's long-gestating script Labor of Love, however.) I'm sure we'll hear much more about the film soon, once filming is complete. But a small budget scary film? That's exactly what I want to see Shyamalan doing.
