Hold on to your sixth senses, folks, because the news you're about to read is wilder than any M. Night Shyamalan plot twist. Phoebe Dynevor has joined the cast of M. Night's upcoming romantic thriller alongside Jake Gyllenhaal.

In a collaboration no one expected, and clearly, no one asked for, M. Night Shyamalan is teaming up with the guy who is responsible for women not accepting anything less than grand gestures, like building their dream house or being narrated their life stories when they get Alzheimer's.

Nicholas Sparks, the man who loves writing tear-jerkers, is coming together with the king of plot twists, Shyamalan, to make a romantic thriller starring Phoebe Dynevor and Jake Gyllenhaal. From the looks of it, it looks like it's going to be The Notebook but for the dead.

And now, Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor has joined the bandwagon because even period drama stars can't say no to an M. Night Shyamalan plot. Imagine her saying, 'I see dead people, my lord.' What's even better is that Jake Gyllenhaal is also starring in the movie and bringing his uber-cool energy to the film.

He could play a tree in a movie and still receive a standing ovation. What the movie is about is a bigger mystery than Area 51 right now, and rightfully so, because the mixture of the two worlds of mystery and Chad-level romance is a mammoth task.

Imagine what the brainstorming session between Night and Sparks would be like. One suggests dead people not being dead, while Sparks suggests people eternally grateful for each other's existence. In one scene, Phoebe Dynevor and Jake Gyllenhaal would be in each other's arms making promises of a lifetime, and in another scene, Phoebe gets to know Jake is just a figment of her imagination.

Just as you are confused about the plot right now, similarly, many netizens have a lot to say about it. Here are some amazingly hilarious reactions that can't be missed.

One user, @St0rmShadowX, got a little confused.

"Honestly thought that was Keira Knightley"

Another user, @LordBotha, roasted Jake Gyllenhaal for no reason.

"Is he playing her father? lol

One more user, @sonicshifts, decided to shade Saleka Night in the process.

"Hopefully he doesn't cast his daughter again."

There is a buddy mystery writer in the comments, and it is @0xDudeDiligence.

the romance: timeless
the tragedy: nearly hopeless
the twist: they are actually AI bots

User @666spooked showed everyone what a Shyamalan x Sparks collaboration could look like.

"The Notebook but it's with alien ghosts"

Now that's a combo no one expected. (via @isthisflorida)

Phoebe Dynevor has joined the most mysteriously romantic cast on the planet. It is a bold collaboration that sounds like an interesting watch.
