Jake Gyllenhaal will star in the next movie from M. Night Shyamalan, who created the story with an unlikely collaborator.

Per Deadline and The InSneider, Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in the next project from M. Night Shyamalan, which is being billed as a supernatural romantic thriller. Additionally, Shyamalan is working with an unlikely collaborator: Nicholas Sparks, the man behind The Notebook. I can’t say I saw that coming either.

The untitled film is based on an original story co-created by Shyamalan and Sparks. Shyamalan will write a screenplay and Sparks will write a novel, both based on the same story. Interesting.
