What if frightmaster M. Night Shyamalan teamed up with ... uh... Nicholas Sparks? The guy who wrote "The Notebook" and a bunch of other romance stories? The result would be "Remain," a new oddity that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor. The first "Remain" trailer is here, and in true modern M. Night fashion, it looks very strange.

I'm a longtime Shyamalan defender (I was in his corner even when others turned on him, damn it!), so I'm always going to give him a fair shake. That said, while I'm not an age gap purist (I tend to roll my eyes at people who complain hard about that sort of thing), the age gap between Gyllenhaal (who is 45) and Dynevor (who is 31) looks very noticeable here; he seems considerably older than her. Then again, maybe that's all part of the plan. Anyway, watch the "Remain" trailer above, then we'll talk more.
