Topping James Patterson\u2019s collaboration with Mr. Beast, M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks might be show business\u2019 most unlikely duo. Nevertheless, just as Patterson x Beast rocked the book world<\/a>, Sparks and Shyamalan are bringing their odd coupling to theaters. Remain, based on Sparks\u2019 2025 novel, sees Shyamalan working his dark magic on Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays architect Tate Gordon. After Gordon\u2019s sister\u2019s death, he visits Cape Cod to design a summer home for his depressed best friend. While there, he meets Wren (Phoebe Dynevor), a mysterious young woman who, well, there\u2019s always a twist, right?<\/p>\n

The union of Sparks and Shyamalan is decades in the making. Sparks actually approached a young Shyamalan about the screenplay to The Notebook, but the young filmmaker had a movie called The Sixth Sense to make. (\u201cYou\u2019ve got to give him his pass,\u201d Sparks told The Hollywood Reporter last year<\/a>. \u201cIt all worked out for him!\u201d) When they reunited, it was under \u201cthe condition that each of us would come to that meeting with an original story that would work for both of our genres.\u201d The result was Remain, which Sparks said \u201cwasn\u2019t really an adaptation\u201d nor a \u201cnovelization.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was both of us taking that original story we first conceived at the very first meeting, and then he worked in his medium, and I worked in mine,\u201d he continued. \u201cI gave him a real long leash on his medium, and he gave me a real long leash on mine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shyamalan\u2019s film fulfills his part of the agreement. Remain opens February 5, 2027.<\/p>\n
