Dakota Fanning cast in The Watchers

We had earlier reported that Ishana Night Shyamalan will be making her directorial debut with The Watchers, an adaptation of AM Shine's novel of the same name. It is now known that actor Dakota Fanning will be starring in the film.

The actor will be essaying the role of 28-year-old artist Mina who gets caught amidst the forests of western Ireland. Billed to be a supernatural thriller, the film revolves around Mina being trapped by strangers, while some mysterious creatures are on the watch.

M Night Shyamalan and Ashwin Rajan will serve as producers for The Watchers. Daughter of Night, Ishana found success as a screenwriter in Apple TV+'s Servant. So far, Ishana has only worked as a second-unit director on films such as Old and Knock at the Cabin.

The film will hit the theatres on June 7, 2024.
