Peter Kramer, President of Universal Pictures:
M. Night Shyamalan never gets tired of creating exciting and unique stories that are followed with interest by the entire world audience. No one is like him: he is a genius filmmaker and a true creator who works at the peak of his abilities and on the verge of possibilities. And we are proud to have chosen Universal again to make it a platform for their incredible future films. ”
Shyamalan shared:
“There are many wonderful film studios, but it was Universal that was able to set itself the task of producing unique films. They are the best at finding an audience for new stories with unexpected colors. I am sure that original films remain in the cinema for a long time and shape the culture. I'm so glad to be working with them again and to be able to bring new stories to the screen, leaving them there for years to come. "
Shyamalan also talked about ideas for these two future films, even teasing potential audiences with the suggestion that all films could possibly be related in some way:
“I only have two movie ideas that inspire me a lot and I feel all the characters. Sometimes my ideas appear in magazines, but they still lack a peppercorn or something that will make history out of what I am ready to devote two years of my life, which is writing the script for this story. But there were two ideas that made me immediately think about how to implement them. And what's interesting is that a third idea might come to my mind, which might be between the two. So maybe there will be three stories, one of which will unite two of them. "
