As a seasoned movie buff with a keen eye for emerging talent and a soft spot for M. Night Shyamalan’s enigmatic storytelling, I must say that 2024 has been an intriguing year indeed. With a diverse lineup of projects from the master himself, his daughter, and other promising directors like Celine Held and Logan George, the world of cinema is abuzz with anticipation.
2024 was a productive year for filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. He not only directed the movie “Trap” featuring Josh Harnett, but also produced “The Watchers,” a film helmed by his daughter, Ishana Night Shyamalan. Upcoming is another project titled “Caddo Lake,” where Dylan O’Brien takes center stage. In this case, Shyamalan won’t be directing, as that responsibility falls on Celine Held and Logan George; however, he remains connected to the production through his Blinding Edge Pictures company as a producer.
Instead of making its way to theaters first like “Trap”, “Caddo Lake” will be premiering directly on streaming platforms starting from October 10th (on Max). The star-studded cast includes actors such as Thomas Brodie-Sangster from “The Maze Runner”, along with Eliza Scanlen, Lauren Ambrose, Eric Lange, Sam Hennings, and Diana Hopper. As the release date nears, details about the movie remain scarce, but we do know that it revolves around a missing girl at Caddo Lake.
Duo Held and George collaborate on a filmmaking team, having previously worked with Shyamalan. They directed episodes of the Shyamalan-produced series “Servant,” which streamed for four seasons on Apple TV+. Their first movie together was the 2020 drama “Topside,” earning a 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. In this film, Held not only took charge as director but also graced the screen as one of its stars.
For O’Brien, it looks like this year is going to be quite significant. He’s taking on the part previously played by Dan Aykroyd in the movie “Saturday Night“, which tells the story of the initial episode of “Saturday Night Live“. The film is set for a limited cinema release on September 27, followed by a wide release on October 11, coinciding with the premiere of “Caddo Lake” on Max the day before. You can watch the trailer for “Caddo Lake ” below.
What is Caddo Lake about?
The upcoming movie titled “Caddo Lake” is becoming a must-watch for thriller enthusiasts due to its gripping storyline about a missing girl and her connection to a string of deaths and disappearances at the lake that shares its name. This film was sparked by a genuine photograph of Caddo Lake, a site situated on the boundary between Texas and Louisiana. Filming occurred in Shreveport, approximately half an hour’s drive from the actual Caddo Lake.
The title of the movie evolved during its creation, initially called “Vanishings “, then changed to “The Vanishings at Caddo Lake “, and finally settled as simply “Caddo Lake“. Since it’s a Shyamalan production rather than being directed by him, viewers might not expect the usual twist he’s known for. However, since this is a thriller, be ready for some unforeseen moments right up until the end.
As a movie reviewer, I’m excited to share that M. Night Shyamalan’s production company, Blinding Edge Pictures, has secured a multi-year deal with Warner Bros., which explains why the intriguing film “Caddo Lake” will be premiering on Max rather than another streaming service in October. Can’t wait to see what you all think!
