Ishana Shyamalan has long been transfixed by the spell of folklore and the stories we leave only half-remembered.
But for Ishana, it goes back even further than that.
It is why she found herself in search of Ireland.
It was a totally random subliminal thing that happened, but I was like obviously!
[after the fact], Shyamalan says with a laugh while thinking aboutThe Watchers connection toDracula.
I actually talked a lot with the actress Olwen about folklore.
We kind of ideated on some things together.
She was very, very enamored by it in the same way that I was.
So Im quite obsessed with that feeling of tapping into history.
The Watchers is in theaters on Friday, June 7.
