What happens when grief, romance, and something supernatural collide?

That’s the mystery at the heart of Remain, the upcoming thriller from M. Night Shyamalan and author Nicholas Sparks.

Billed as an “otherworldly collaboration,” the project brings together two very different storytellers for a supernatural romance that appears to have a much darker mystery lurking underneath.

Warner Bros. has now released the first teaser trailer, giving us our first look at the strange world Shyamalan has created.

Watch the official Remain teaser trailer above.

Jake Gyllenhaal Gets Pulled Into a Deadly Mystery

Remain stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a grieving architect who moves to Cape Cod for work after leaving a psychiatric facility.

He’s trying to start over.

Instead, he encounters an alluring young woman who slowly pulls him out of his shell—and ultimately draws him into a deadly mystery hanging over the town.

Knowing Shyamalan, whatever is happening in Cape Cod probably isn’t quite what it seems.

And with the movie being described as a supernatural romance thriller, there’s clearly more going on beneath the surface than a simple love story.

A Story Told Twice

Remain is the result of an unusual collaboration between Shyamalan and Sparks.

The pair independently wrote a screenplay and a novel based on the same concept and characters, with each version specifically designed for its respective medium.

Sparks’ novel was published last October, while Shyamalan is bringing the cinematic version to the big screen.

Shyamalan wrote and directed the movie.

The Cast

Gyllenhaal leads an ensemble that includes Ashley Walters (Adolescence), Julie Hagerty (Airplane), Jay O. Sanders (Along Came a Spider), Tracy Ifeachor (The Pitt), Hannah James (Mercy Street), Caleb Ruminer (Finding Carter), Kieran Mulcare (Jessica Jones), and Maria Dizzia (Orange is the New Black).

Shyamalan produces alongside Ashwin Rajan for Blinding Edge Pictures, with Theresa Park and Marc Bienstock also producing. Sparks serves as executive producer.

A Valentine’s Day Nightmare?

While Remain is being positioned as a supernatural romance, Shyamalan’s involvement suggests audiences should expect plenty of mystery along with the romance.

A grieving man.

A mysterious woman.

A town hiding a deadly secret.

And something supernatural waiting beneath it all.

Remain arrives in U.S. theaters February 5, 2027, from Warner Bros.
