Universal Pictures have released the first teaser trailer for Devil, which is being dubbed as coming “From The Mind of M Night Shyamalan.” The first released under “The Night Chronicles” banner, Devil is directed by Quarantine helmers the Dowdle Bros from a story by M. Night Shyamalan and script by Brian Nelson. The story reported involves a group of people who are trapped in an elevator, and one of them is the devil. We’ve also been told that the security guard is trying to convince the policeman to get them out of the elevator, and that he is the chosen one to save the people. The trailer uses the wording “One of these five people, is not, who they appear to be.” The film stars Chris Messina, Bojana Novakovic, Bokeem Woodbine, Geoffrey Arend and Caroline Dhavernas.

The logo does indeed look epic.
Quite a nifty idea.

I'm diggin' the poster. The trailer was bitchin', but...the stuck in an elevator idea?...Seems kind of corny and middle school to me. We'll see how it plays out.

Looks pretty Shyamalany to me. Might be interested after another trailer or two.

So, I may be a bit of a negative Nelly here, but his concept looks a little bit like a less creative, less interesting, less profound version of Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit. It may be unfair to compare any story about a group of people trapped in a room related to hell or the devil to No Exit, but that's the vibe I get. Anyway, it doesn't have to have an existential epiphany to satisfy me, it just has to be a decent thriller.
