Everyone is getting Old in this trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's new movie
Aux Features Entertainment, Culture
Ah, yes. A family on a nice beach vacation, nothing weird going on in this movie trailer! Well, until the text reveals that it’s a new thing from M. Night Shyamalan, a guy with a particular fondness for… you know. A narrative gimmick of sorts, where you think one thing is happening but then another thing happens? Well, in this teaser for Old that premiered during the Super Bowl, it looks like one thing is happening and then another thing happens.
See, people are getting old in a way that seems unusual, and it all seems to have something to do with this weird beach. There’s a kid who suddenly grows up, a woman who is suddenly pregnant and then has a baby, and what appears to be someone falling off a cliff. Weird!
Old will be “only in theaters” this summer.

Twist they were actually all getting younger but the film shows them in reverse.Twist they are aging normally but they are just very very slow people.Twist everything takes place inside a vhs tape that is being played in fast forward.Twist nobody got older they were just being replaced by very bad impersonators with stupid cover stories.
Here’s the twist: we’re gonna show it. Full penetration
Twist showing them all doing The Twist at the end of the movie and during the credits with the ghost of Chubby Checker who was behind the aging after all.
I like the idea of Chubby Checker being behind it all. More of those old early rock and soul superstars should appear in movies, I say. Paul Mazersky knew this was true and that’s why he cast Little Richard in Down and Out in Beverly Hills.
Double twist – Chubby Checker is still alive!!![really, he is still alive and still touring]
Yeah dude, thats the joke being a M Night movie. I know he’s alive.
Technically… Twisting Again. But who’s counting at this point. Twist on.
Twist: there’s no twist, it’s just a cursed beach that makes people age super rapidly.
Twist is they’re aliensHuman beings don’t say lines like “you were six years old this morning!”, even if they have cause to
The twist is that they’ve been playing a game of twister which threw them into some kind of crazy time loop
Yes
It was the trees on the beach.
And it will still make more sense than anything in Lady In The Water!
Well, the idea that a mean critic will be eaten by a monster makes sense, at least from the standpoint of M. Night’s wishful thinking.
You don’t understand the one-sided muscle guy? Do we not do certain Family Guy references around here?
We don’t even do PHRASING anymore!!
I know it was a different director but can we throw in a scene of Leo running through the woods as if he was in a video game for good measure?
The accents in this trailer deeply confused me.
Twist the sand will age into Glass.- That’s not how it works !
– That’s why nobody will see it coming.
I’ll wait for the reviews to determine if this is “good M. Night” or “bad M. Night”.The difference will determine how much alcohol I consume before watching.
Now what did your liver ever do to you that you would put it through this much anxiety?!
At this rate, his liver will be the thing that gets old too fast!
Since when are you on a first initial-middle name basis with Shyamalan?
Based on everybody’s all-too-true story.
I always have fun in his movies, I feel like the pandemic has made me really appreciate fun things.
Is Gael Garcia Bernal in old person makeup in that photo from the trailer? Because man… talk about OLD.Though this does make a good bookend for his movies where he goes to a beach with dying people.
I feel like after M Night dies his family and friend will watch a video will that explains how he kept getting funding to make shitty movies. The twist is that he give the best blow jobs in Hollywood
“I feel like after M Night dies his family and friend will watch a video will that explains how he kept getting funding to make shitty movies.”
They’ll need a video to explain that his movies make money?
The kid finds an unplugged Zoltar machine on the beach. Elizabeth Perkins shows up and seduces everybody.
There’s a kid who suddenly grows up, a woman who is suddenly pregnant and then has a baby, and what appears to be someone falling off a cliff. Weird!Must’ve missed the falling off a cliff scene in that WandaVision episode.
I see old people.
And so it comes full circle. That’s bad.
It’s the SAND! The sand is trying to kill them!!!!
I’m going to call it. If there is a fountain of your, there must be a fountain of aging. These schlubs went to the beach with the fountain of aging.Also, does this aging effect work on everything? If they packed sandwiches, do the sandwiches go all moldy in seconds? Does everyone grow wicked beards in an hour or so?
The music building up to gravel-voiced guy saying “OLD.” has huge meme energy
I think this is very loosely based on a very good comic called Sandcastle. I’m certain it won’t be at all as good.
It’s not loosely based on it.
This summer…M. Night Shyamalan’s bullshit is getting…Old.Man, this sells itself.
Seems like a ‘Fountain of Youth’ gone hay-wire story that has been 80% done someplace else before. I’ll likely pass.
He chose…poorly.
It’s actually been earth this whole time and they’re ghosts and the second half is just the first half backwards and he was just dressing up like his mother, but it’s all a dream a dog is having.
Twist: the theatrical release will be delayed and delayed until they finally cave and release it on some streaming service.
Surf’s up on PREMISE BEACH!!
Martha, will you show her where we keep the, uh, euphemism?
I may be interested so long as I’m promised that the twist isn’t that the trees and wind were just angry.
So a rif on “Thinner”, except with age?
