Director M. Night Shyamalan ("Signs", "The Sixth Sense") is working fast on casting his next movie, "The Lady in the Water", about a building superintendent who finds a water nymph in the building's swimming pool.
For the titular character, Night wants to reunite with his leading lady from "The Village", Bryce Dallas Howard. She has been working with Lars Von Trier on "Manderlay" in the interim and will star in the HBO Films-financed theatrical feature of William Shakespeare's "As You Like It" for Kenneth Branagh next. She also will play the title role in "Mary Queen of Scots" for Warner Independent Pictures.
For the super, Shyamalan wants to cast Paul Giamatti, who blew audiences and critics away with his starring role in Alexander Payne's "Sideways" and who next appears in the Russell Crowe boxing flick, "Cinderella Man". Coincidentally, the latter is directed by Bryce's father Ron Howard.
Warner Brothers plans to release Shyamalan's next movie on July 21, 2006, and they've made offers to the two stars for a production that will begin in August.
