‘Old’: Everyone’s Aging Rapidly in the Super Bowl Trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s New Thriller

It’s only a matter of time.

Two brand new thrillers are on the way from M. Night Shyamalan and Universal, and the first one coming soon is titled Old. Out of the Super Bowl tonight, the trailer has arrived.

Shyamalan’s career has been on the “return to form” path for the past several years, returning to the horror genre back in 2015 with The Visit and going on to make a surprise sequel to Unbreakable with Split in 2016; which was of course followed by true sequel Glass in 2019. This year’s Old looks to bring him further down that path with another mysterious thriller that could turn out to be literally anything, with Shyamalan himself recently promising that it’s “weird and dark.” It indeed looks to be both things, if this first look is any indication.

Here’s the new plot synopsis, which speeds up the horrors of aging…

“This summer, Shyamalan unveils a chilling, mysterious new thriller 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.”

The film stars an international cast including Golden Globe winner Gael García Bernal, Vicky Krieps, Rufus Sewell, Ken Leung, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Abbey Lee, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Embeth Davidtz, Eliza Scanlen, Emun Elliott, Kathleen Chalfant and Thomasin McKenzie.

Old is a Blinding Edge Pictures production, directed and produced by M. Night Shyamalan, from his screenplay based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters. The film is also produced by Ashwin Rajan (Glass, AppleTV+’s Servant) and Marc Bienstock (Glass, Split). The film’s executive producer is Steven Schneider.

The film’s current theatrical date is July 23, 2021.
