M. Night Shyamalan is hoping to break into horror films, starting with PG-13 supernatural thriller Devil, the first project under his three-picture deal with Media Rights Capital. The project has gotten a writer – Brian Nelson from 30 Days of Night.

The film is based on a short story by Shyamalan. Story details are under wraps, though.

Directors John and Andrew Dowdle, moving on from the horrible remake of the excellent Spanish horror flick Rec, will helm the project. Production is slated to begin next year.
