US EditionNicholas Sparks Praises Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor’s ‘Chemistry’
The supernatural romance novel 'Remain' marks a unique collaboration blending Nicholas Sparks's romance with M. Night Shyamalan's mystery, featuring separate twists in book and film, Sparks said.
- On Tuesday, Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan release Remain, a co-written novel out now with a film adaptation starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor.
- Brought together by a shared talent agent, Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan developed the story jointly, selecting Shyamalan's concept while Sparks wrote the novel.
- The story follows Tate Donovan, a New York architect recently discharged from psychiatric treatment who grieves his sister Sylvia's death and is played by Jake Gyllenhaal, while Wren is played by Phoebe Dynevor.
- The collaborators say the novel and film diverge, with Sparks likening them to 'identical twins raised by separate people' and cautioning readers against expecting the same twist.
- Sparks recalled that `A long time ago, way back when The Notebook was being adapted for the screen, they approached a writer to write the script- it was M. Night Shyamalan`, but Shyamalan was busy working on The Sixth Sense, symbolizing early industry recognition.
