Time is anything but a construct inM. Night Shyamalan’s newest film.
Afull-length trailerfor the famed horror director’s latest project,Old, dropped on Thursday, giving a more intense glimpse at the story of a group of people who vacation on a desolate island only to soon find themselves aging at a rapid pace.
The trailer opens with a father (Gael García Bernal) and mother (Phantom Thread’sVicky Krieps) arriving at their destination with their two young children, where they soon meet others and discover a strange assortment of items from their hotel abandoned on the beach.
After they come across a dead body and notice its rapid decomposition, they soon realize they, too, are quickly skipping across years in their physical appearance — including the couple’s son (Alex Wolff) and daughter.
