No idea, never heard of it? He bought the rights on it a while back and sounds trippy.
M. Night Shyamalan’s New Movie, ‘Old,’ Is Inspired by a Graphic Novel About Mysterious Aging
A French graphic novel featuring a "Twilight Zone"-esque riff on rapid aging forms the launchpad for Shyamalan's next film.

"Old" is inspired by the Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters graphic novel "Sandcastle." Published in 2010 it's an existential horror tale about mysterious and rapid aging occurring on a beach, where 13 people seem unable to leave. Shyamalan reportedly purchased the rights after he received "Sandcastle" as a Father's Day gift.

The beach was a metaphor for the womb. They finally escape as they are being born.
I actually like Glass very much, i don't know why people hate it so much....i guess they were expecting another Avengers or something.
Looking forward to this.

Well people like me, who didn't like it, expected a grand finale and world building but got anti climatic, boring, let's say everything is fake Asylum scenes.
Yeah, i guess it's all in the expectations.
Altough i went to see the film with the same expectations as everyone and i got surprised, in a good way.
Maybe it was not the grand final everyone was hoping, but it was a grand final alright. World building is certainly there.
What you call anti climatic, i tought it was really touching (Specially the end scene) and a fitting end for this set of characters.
I believe it is a matter of if you "get" the movie or not. With "get" i don't mean to say that people who did it are more smart than people who didn't liked the movie. It just means that we understand the intentions and vision of the director for this story, world and characters, personally it clicked with me.
The awesome thing about the movie is that it leaves open the posibility to expand this world, while at the same time closing these 3 character arcs in a very touching way.
Also the music is awesome.
I love Split, it's fantastic.
Loved the Visit and the Devil(?) as well. Did not see Glass tho...
I'm still on the Shamalaya trainnn
I just cant get excited for his premisses anymore, they dont go beyind the actual premisse.
Its never really a backdrop for an interesting social commentary, its just, literally, the premisse.
Will watch late night some time from now when theres nothing else on.

It just felt very low-budget and hokey. The entire movie builds toward a confrontation at some special location (specifics escape me at the moment) but then it just turns into them rolling around in a parking lot.
It didn't live up to the promise set forth in Unbreakable and Split.
