Sandcastle (a 2013 French graphic novel created by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters), the film is set on a secluded and seemingly idyllic beach that soon takes on a sinister nature when visitors to its sandy shore begin to age at an alarming rate.
It s a reverse
Benjamin Button situation that the characters need to reverse before they shrivel up and die. The project is Shyamalan s second time adapting an established property for the big screen the first one being 2010 s
The Last Airbender for Nickelodeon.

Servant, titled Marino.
In the clip below, the cops show up for a now-catatonic Uncle George (Boris McGiver). Julian (Rupert Grint) is ready to give up the strange cult leader, but Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) refuses, stating that they need George to get Jericho back. She agrees to stall the police as Julian and Sean (Toby Kebell) are instructed to hide George s immobile body, kicking off a nail-bitingly hilarious tribute to a corpse-centric classic from 1989.
“The comedy is something we’re all proud of,” executive producer M. Night Shyamalan recently said. “All four of these actors are so strong with physical [comedy]. I can come up with comedy that leans into that physicality. Like for Episode 7 [ Marino ], I pitched a
“The comedy is something we’re all proud of,” Shyamalan told the reporters. “All four of these actors are so strong with physical [comedy]. I can come up with comedy that leans into that physicality. Like for Episode 7, I pitched a
Weekend at Bernie’s episode involving comatose Uncle George. It’s right on the line with broad comedy.”
As a writer and director, Shyamalan added that he’s found a lot of comfort in writing more dark comedy into his scripts. “From
The Visit on, it’s just my sweet spot to explore being scared, uncomfortable, and laughing at the same time.”

Reviews for Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series this are now coming online and folks are apparently in stitches about it. In her A- review for
Entertainment Weekly, writer Kristin Baldwin calls the sophomore outing remarkably funny, adding that the horror saga from Tony Basgallop and M. Night Shyamalan also remains a gripping mystery, blending tension-release giggles with even bleaker moments of terror.
Giving Season 2 an 8 out of 10,
JoBlo s Alex Maidy also points out the show s glaring dichotomies, stating that it s both deeply unsettling and oddly beautiful, especially in how it lingers on the preparation and presentation of meals. Food and wine are as central to this story as the Turner s home, a location that shows more layers this season than we saw in the previous one.
Servant continues with the official trailer for Season 2.
Premiering on Apple TV+ next month, the second season of the M. Night Shyamalan-produced series picks up with the search for Jericho, the infant son of Philadelphia couple Sean and Dorothy Turner (played by Toby Kebbell and Lauren Ambrose, respectively). While Jericho tragically died after being accidentally left in a hot car for too long, he seemed to be resurrected after Dorothy hired a suspicious nanny named Leanne Grayson (Nell Tiger Free). With Leanne leaving the Turner household and returning to her cult at the end of Season 1, the baby reverted back to the faux therapy doll that helped Dorothy cope with her child s death.
