In addition to Shyamalan’s announcement, Collider has revealed that plot details are not a secret anymore as sources report that the film will be based on Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters’ acclaimed graphic novel Sandcastle, which centers on a group of people who find they are unable to escape a mysterious, secluded beach as a dark secret surrounding time keeps them there after discovering a dead body. Shyamalan reportedly received the novel as a Father’s Day gift and quickly swept up the rights to it after falling in love with the story concept.
