Warner Brothers has released the official trailer for The Watched, starring Dakota Fanning and Olwen Fouéré. The film was shot in Galway and Wicklow last year.
The official trailer for The Watched, the feature directorial debut of Ishana Shyamalan, has been released. The film began production in Galway in summer 2023, and wrapped principal photography in September of that year. Locations used in Galway include Electric nightclub and Griffin's bakery, which was dressed as a pet shop for the film.
The film stars Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds) as Mina, a 28-year-old artist, as she gets stranded in a forest in western Ireland. After finding shelter, she becomes trapped alongside three strangers, stalked by mysterious creatures each night. The film also stars Olwen Fouéré (All You Need is Death) and Georgina Campbell (Barbarian).
The Watched is produced by M. Night Shyamalan (Old), Ashwin Rajan (Old) and Nimitt Mankad (Trumbo). The executive producers are Jo Homewood (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Stephen Dembitzer (In the Bedroom).
The film is based on Irish author A.M. Shine’s novel of the same name, which Ishana Shyamalan adapted for the screen. Her previous work includes directing episodes of Apple TV+ series Servant.
The Watched will begin its international theatrical release from June 14th, 2024.
