After his last outing at the cinemas with Glass in 2019, director M Night Shyamalan is already set to work on his next one, reported Variety.

The director took to Twitter on Saturday to share the title of the film, writing, "Feels like a miracle that I am standing here shooting the first shot of my new film. It’s called Old." He also attached a picture of himself wearing a face mask and holding a clapperboard.

The Split director also shared the first promotional poster of the film that features a close-up shot of an hourglass but with human bodies falling through it instead of sand. The caption reads, "A new trip from writer/director M Night Shyamalan. It’s only a matter of time."
