Starring in M. Night Shyamalan's Split, James McAvoy put on one of the most impressive performances of his career – playing an individual who has a rather intense and unique case of dissociative identity disorder. That hit was followed up a couple years later with the release of Glass in 2019, and now, McAvoy is ready to reteam with Blumhouse (the horror-centric studio that produced both of those films) by signing on for what sounds like a very exciting new project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Blumhouse is now developing a remake of the Danish psychological horror film Gæsterne (also known as Speak No Evil), and James McAvoy is attached to play the lead. The project is coming together very quickly, as evidenced by the fact that Universal Pictures – which has a distribution deal with Blumhouse – has already set the movie with a August 9, 2024 release date.
