Filmmaker M Night Shyamalan is joining forces with Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal on his upcoming supernatural romantic thriller. The project emerges from an original story co-created with bestselling author Nicholas Sparks, according to Deadline.

Shyamalan and Sparks are developing a screenplay and novel, respectively, each grounded in the same foundational romance but adapted to suit their distinct mediums. This marks Shyamalan's debut collaboration with a high-profile writer like Sparks, whose notable works include 'The Notebook' and 'Dear John', many of which became feature films.

The finer details of the project remain secret, but it will be produced by Shyamalan's Blinding Edge Pictures, along with Sparks' producing partner Theresa Park and Marc Bienstock. Talks with Warner Bros are underway for a theatrical release.
