16 Feb – M. Night Shyamalan's daughter Ishana is set to make her directorial debut in New Line Cinema's new movie.

The 24-year-old filmmaker, who has worked with her father as second unit director in several projects including the new movie "Knock at the Cabin", will be helming the movie, "The Watchers", based on a novel by AM Shine.

"We couldn't be more excited to make Ishana's first film with The Watchers. Equal parts visual, immersive, and terrifying, the script grips you from the first page and never lets go," said Richard Brener, president and CCO, New Line Cinema.

The movie will be about 28-year-old artist Mina, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland.

"When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers that are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night."

It is noted that Ishana also previously directed several episodes of Shyamalan's Apple TV+ series, "Servant". In a previous interview, the NYU graduate said that working with her dad on another of his movie, "Old" came randomly.

"I was doing work on Servant, and he pitched it to me far in advance. He said, 'Would you be my second unit director?' At first, I thought, 'No way'... There was a lot of nervousness, but then as I got more comfortable working on Servant with him, it seemed the natural thing to do. It was this incredible, spiritual experience for us."

The upcoming movie is scheduled for a June 2024 release.
