Steve Weintraub spoke to Shyamalan about his latest project, AppleTV+’s new series Servant, and asked about the director’s upcoming projects. We previously reported that Shyamalan has films set for 2021 and 2023. Steve asked if these movies were connected, and Shyamalan said that they’re not. He went on to say why he felt so strongly about these projects and that there was also a third project in the works:
“I just had two movie ideas I felt very strongly about. For me, there are ideas and they’re in journals sometimes and they don’t quite have the meat yet or whatever that thing is that makes it so I’m ready to commit two years of my life to making this—to writing and directing this—some of those ideas don’t have that yet. They have to gestate a little bit. But there were two ideas where right away I was thinking about making them. And, interesting enough, there might be a third thing that came to me that might end up going in between these two. So there might be three.”
