Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan's script for his next film, The Woods, is so top secret that the only copy is being kept in a safe at the Walt Disney Co offices so that details do not leak out before the film is released next year.
Shyamalan, whose previous films include The Sixth Sense and Signs, has signed Oscar-winner Adrien Brody, Joaquin Phoenix and director Ron Howard's actress daughter Bryce Dallas Howard to star in the film about residents of an 1897 Pennsylvania town who live with the knowledge that there are creatures in the woods around them.
Shyamalan, who begins filming in October, tells Entertainment Weekly that the film has “a Blair Witch-y quality” and features “romance as the spine of the piece”.
