The Village has some strange residents
Shyamalan's latest film, "The Village," is set to open in theatres nation wide on July 30th. Joaquin Phoenix, Sigourney Weaver, Adrien Brody, William Hurt and newcomer Bryce Dallas Howard star in this tale of an isolated village confronting the astonishing truth that lies just outside its borders. At first glance, this village seems picture perfect, but this close-knit community lives with the frightening knowledge that creatures reside in the surrounding woods. The evil and foreboding force is so unnerving that none dare venture beyond the borders of the village and into the woods. But when curious, headstrong Lucius Hunt plans to step beyond the boundaries of the town and into the unknown, his bold move threatens to forever change the future of the village.
