M. Night Shyamalan moves filming of 'Remain' to set built in a Providence park.
M. Night Shyamalan's film "Remain" has moved production to the Dexter Training Ground in Providence, with filming commencing on July 30. The supernatural romantic thriller features Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor, centering on an architect facing his sister's death while navigating new romantic interests. Although the garden set remained accessible to the public, filming took place inside a cloister, obscured from view. Director Shyamalan was often seen directing from a nearby tent, shouting commands to the cast.
Studio mechanics from Local 481 were present, assembling trusses for lighting, though their intended use was unclear. The film is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks, scheduled for release on October 14, 2025. The film's release is planned for October 2026, highlighting the intertwined narratives of love and family secrets. This production marks a significant investment in local film-making, bringing attention to Providence as a filming location.
