The Watchers Star Dakota Fanning Praises Ishana Night Shyamalan's Directing Debut

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Watchers follows Mina, an artist in her late twenties, who gets stranded in an expansive forest in Western Ireland while working an odd job. She manages to find shelter in the forest but becomes trapped with three strangers. However, things take an even more mysterious turn as they are stalked by enigmatic creatures each night.

Screen Rant interviewed Fanning about her work on The Watchers. She discussed Shyamalan's directing style and her character Mina's journey of self-discovery. She also shared how the Coop set helped her get into the mindset of her character and expressed interest in returning to the Ocean's Eleven franchise.

Obviously, when you're making a film where you're dealing with things you can't see, the only person you have to look to is the director to guide you when you're not exactly sure what you're going to be looking at sometimes. So, it was super helpful for her to be so clear. I think she did such a wonderful job of blending the fantasy and the groundedness of the story. and I think she's obviously learned a lot from a very talented person in Night.

You described the set of the Coop as one of the most unusual that you've ever been on because it has this sense of claustrophobia and containment, but it's also a place where you're supposed to feel safe. Can you talk about how that set helped inform your performance in those scenes? Sometimes it felt like, "Ahh, what's going on?!" And I think that was sort of helpful to all of us because I think the characters are feeling like that a lot of the time. Like you mentioned, you're supposed to feel safe in there, but you're also not exactly sure what you're being protected from, and ultimately you're trying to get out of something that's containing you. It's that kind of push and pull.
