The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs writer-director M. Night Shyamalan has made a deal for two more pics with Disney, says Variety.
The first film will be The Woods, a thriller to star Ashton Kutcher, Joaquin Phoenix and Kirsten Dunst. Scott Rudin and Sam Mercer will produce and shooting will begin in October in Philadelphia for a summer 2004 release.
Set in 1897, The Woods tells the story of a close-knit community with a mythical race of creatures residing in the woods around them.
Shyamalan said that he could conceivably make a movie elsewhere between The Woods and the second Disney project if another studio offered him an irresistible book adaptation. He considered it likely that he'll go right back to work in an environment he feels comfortable in. He already has sketched out what the followup film will be, but wouldn't divulge it.
Shyamalan wrote one role specifically for his Signs star Phoenix and wrote the lead with Dunst in mind.
