The director has promised it to be a story where fans would feel they are watching something familiar but eventually as the story will progress it’ll change its shape and form. Shyamalan said in arecent interview, “I think the things that I’m drawn to when I think of my own ideas, or, in this case, an adaptation, it’s taking genres and then bending them in new ways, or changing genres from what you thought you were watching. That’s the fun of audiences, for me. They come in thinking they’re watching something, and it changes and moves.”
