Recently enjoying his best reviews for years with his low-budget horror The Visit, M. Night Shyamalan is sticking with producer Jason Blum for his next movie. Until recently going by the unwieldy moniker Untitled Blumhouse Production, the project now has a title. It's called Split.

As previously reported, Split will star James McAvoy, and we now learn that the once and future Professor X will be joined by Anya Taylor Joy, Betty Buckley, Jessica Sula and Haley Lu Richardson. Nothing's yet being revealed about the plot, although we're told it's " a suspense thriller with elements of the supernatural".

Behind the scenes, Shyamalan will be reteaming with several Visit alumni, including Marc Bienstock and executive producers Ashwin Rajan and Steven Schneider. All will be hoping to repeatthe previous film's box office success: $90m worldwide from a budget of just $5m.

And with the title comes a release date. Split will arrive - in the US at least - on January 20, 2017.
