Starring Paul Giamatti (SIDEWAYS), and Bryce Dallas Howard (THE VILLAGE), WATER goes a little something like this:
A modest building manager named Cleveland Heep (Paul Giamatti) rescues a mysterious young woman (Bryce Dallas Howard) from danger and discovers she is actually a narf, a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the treacherous journey from our world back to hers. Cleveland and his fellow tenants start to realize that they are also characters in this bedtime story. As Cleveland falls deeper and deeper in love with the woman, he works together with the tenants to protect his new fragile friend from the deadly creatures that reside in this fable and are determined to prevent her from returning home.
Whoa. Apparently this project started out as a story for Shyamalan’s kids, and you can definately see why. Sure, it’s not 100% horror, but if it’s coming from the dude who brought us THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE and THE VILLAGE, you know it’s gonna be just a tad bit freaky- plus who knows what kind of creatures we’re to expect here.
No word on when WATER is scheduled to hit theaters, but my guess is early summer. More info. on this flick as we hear it!
