The Super Bowl is usually a big night for movie trailers, with studios buying ad time for some of their biggest releases of the year. Due to the pandemic, last year's Super Bowl featured trailers for some films that still haven't been released – and there aren't going to be many trailers shown during this year's Super Bowl, which happens this Sunday, February 7th.
Universal will only be showing one trailer during the Super Bowl, but it's for a film that's of interest to us here on Arrow in the Head: the latest M. Night Shyamalan thriller, Old, which is aiming for a July 23, 2021 release.
Details on Old are being kept tightly under wraps. We've heard that the film was inspired by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters' French graphic novel Sandcastle (pick up a copy HERE), but it's not a direct adaptation. All we know for sure is that the film centers on
a group of people who find a dead body on a beach and slowly realize there is something unnatural happening on that beach.
Old stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Vicky Krieps, Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Ken Leung, Rufus Sewell, Embeth Davidtz, and Emun Elliott.
Shyamalan produced the film with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock. Steven Schneider executive produced.
In the build-up to the trailer, Shyamalan has been releasing very short teaser videos on his Twitter account:
