M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks Collaborate on 'Remain'

M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks have joined forces to create a novel and film, 'Remain', in a unique collaboration.

Shyamalan, who was once offered to adapt Sparks' novel 'The Notebook' for the big screen, turned it down to focus on his breakout film 'The Sixth Sense' (1999).

Nearly three decades later, the two storytellers have come together to develop 'Remain' simultaneously as a novel and film.

"I'm so blessed that the first date that I had with the audience, The Sixth Sense, was something that came wholesale from me,"

The movie is set to release in theaters next October.

Author's summary: Shyamalan and Sparks collaborate on 'Remain' novel and film.
