— Variety (@Variety) October 2, 2015- He's taking Joaquin Phoenix's role.
- The project will likely include elements of the supernatural.
- M. Night Syamalan’s latest project "The Visit" did really well at the box office, earning $53 million on a budget of $5 million.
Praying circle for both. Also, check out this article about how BAD the whole process of making The Last Airbender was:
“Nicola was hired because she’s the daughter of someone one of the producers owed a favor to as Hollywood loves its nepotism. (Her audition tape was subpar at best). In having to cast her they had to cast a guy who could pass as her brother – hence Jackson… Noah was the only one who honestly openly auditioned and was chosen based on talent.
Sadly at that point Shyamalan was just tired of arguing with the overheads, gave up, and collected his paycheck." the source said.
Yikes. Anyway, "The Visit" did well and we love McAvoy, so... Godspeed.
