Universal released Shyamalan’s three previous films – Glass (2019), Split (2017) and The Visit (2015), all of which were box office hits. Old was originally scheduled to hit the screens on February 26, 2021, but the studio pulled it from the calendar, owing to the pandemic, it will now hit theatres on July 23, 2021. The filmmaker took to Twitter on Saturday to share the title and update his fans that he had begun shooting for it. Shayamalan shared the artwork of the film- a depiction of an hourglass, with people tumbling instead of sand, and text reading, “A New Trip from writer/director M Night Shyamalan. It”s only a matter of time.” Though the details of the plot have been kept under wraps, it is rumoured that the movie might be connected with some of the other films by the director.
