"Tate begins working on the design after being released from treatment for severe depression following his sister's death. A young woman Wren, played by Phoebe Dynevor then challenges the way he sees the world. "From there, the story moves in a very Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan way," Sparks said, meaning with heavy doses of both romance and the supernatural."
""so I don't have to pretend to be somebody else." If he had taken on The Notebook, which was ultimately directed by Nick Cassavetes and released in 2004, Shyamalan said Hollywood would have put him in a box as a creator of romantic dramas. "They would want me to do that over and over and over now I'm pretending and that would have been a scary 30 years."
M. Night Shyamalan turned down adapting The Notebook at age 25 to pursue The Sixth Sense. Nearly three decades later Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks co-created Remain, released as both a novel and a film. The book is out now and the movie is due in theaters next October. Remain centers on Tate Donovan, an architect recovering from severe depression after his sister's death, and Wren, a young woman who challenges his worldview. The project combines romance with supernatural elements. The plot remains consistent across both mediums, while characters receive different backstories depending on the medium.
