M. Night Shyamalan is producing a new thriller titled Caddo Lake, previously known as The Vanishings at Caddo Lake. The official trailer was released this afternoon.
Premiering October 10 on Max, the film has received a “PG-13” rating for “some disturbing/bloody images, thematic elements, and brief strong language.”
Written and directed by Celine Held and Logan George of Topside, the film’s plot centers on the mysterious disappearance of an 8-year-old girl at Caddo Lake, which triggers a series of past deaths and disappearances that alter a fractured family’s history.
The cast features Dylan O’Brien, Eliza Scanlen, Lauren Ambrose, Eric Lange, Sam Hennings, and Diana Hopper. Shyamalan produces through his Blinding Edge Pictures.
The idea for Caddo Lake was inspired by a photograph of the real Caddo Lake, prompting filmmakers Held and George to explore the cypress forest along the Texas-Louisiana border. Filming took place in late 2021 and 2022 around Karnak, Texas.
In a recent statement, Shyamalan expressed enthusiasm for collaborating with Held and George, highlighting their exceptional storytelling skills demonstrated in two episodes of Servant. “They are kind and dynamic genre storytellers and have written a film we believe will impact audiences deeply,” he stated.
