Memes erupt as Phoebe Dynevor joins Jake Gyllenhaal in M. Night Shyamalan’s new supernatural romantic thriller

It’s happening, folks! Phoebe Dynevor, best known for her swoon-worthy role in Bridgerton, is stepping into a supernatural romantic thriller alongside Hollywood’s brooding king, Jake Gyllenhaal. And guiding this eerie love story? None other than plot-twist aficionado M. Night Shyamalan.

Now, if those names don’t immediately make you question reality, here’s an extra twist Nicholas Sparks, the mastermind behind The Notebook, is also involved in the story’s creation. That’s right, we’re about to witness a genre mashup no one saw coming: heartbreak meets horror, probably with a jump scare in the rain.

The Internet’s Reaction: Phoebe Dynevor joins Jake Gyllenhaal

The news, first reported by Deadline, quickly set social media ablaze. And not just with excitement, confusion, skepticism, and outright existential crises were also in the mix. A supernatural romantic thriller from the guy who gave us The Sixth Sense and The Village? Starring the face of regency-era romance and Hollywood’s favorite serious actor? Oh, the internet had some thoughts.

Some fans were cautiously optimistic "A supernatural romantic thriller from M. Night Shyamalan oh, what’s not to love?!"

Others… well, let’s just say they were already drafting their "Yeah ok whatever” tweets.

Then came the memes glorious, chaotic, and completely on-brand for a project that sounds like a fever dream.

One of the most common reactions? Absolute and immediate distrust of Shyamalan. The director’s reputation for unpredictable (and sometimes unhinged) twists has left audiences wary. Cue the classic reaction: “M. Night Shyamalan I'm out.”

A sentiment shared by many who still haven’t forgiven The Happening. Then there was the sheer randomness of the cast pairing. One user summed it up best with: “Oh, what a mix.” Because, truly, what is this combination? Did a Hollywood intern pull names out of a hat? We’ll never know, but it sure is entertaining.

Meanwhile, some fans were less concerned with the movie’s plot and more focused on their new on-screen crush, Phoebe Dynevor. “Oooo I like her,” one reaction read because, let’s be honest, Phoebe Dynevor could probably have chemistry with a brick wall.

But perhaps the real MVP of the reaction thread? The person who simply asked, “Who is that guy?” No context, no clarification just pure internet gold. Are they talking about Jake? Shyamalan? Nicholas Sparks? Phoebe Dynevor? A surprise ghost character that hasn’t been revealed yet? We may never know.

Whether this film ends up being a tearjerker, a psychological mind-bender, or just an elaborate prank on audiences, one thing’s for sure, it’s already delivering in the entertainment department.

At the very least, it’s proof that Hollywood will never run out of wild combinations to throw at us. Will it be The Sixth Sense meets The Notebook? A Dear John with ghosts? Or just another classic Shyamalan twist that makes you question your entire life by the end? Only time will tell.

Until then, all we can do is prepare ourselves for the plot, the romance, and, most importantly, the memes that will inevitably outlive the movie itself.
