Dakota Fanning is keen to work again with Ishana Night Shyamalan.
The 30-year-old actress stars in the director’s debut movie ‘The Watchers’ as Mina – an artist who gets stranded in a forest before becoming trapped alongside three strangers who are being stalked by mysterious creatures each night – and she’s predicted the first-time filmmaker has a great future ahead.
She told HELLO! magazine: “I loved it. Ishana is such a special and wonderful person.
“She directed this film and also wrote the script, she is incredibly talented and creative, as I think all her family are.
“To be part of her first film felt really special.
“I think she has a huge future ahead of her. I really hope to work with her again one day.”
Dakota admitted it was a “challenge” to act out her character’s fear with nothing to react to it but the director made things easier.
She said: “It’s a challenge, but that’s when a director like Ishana is so important.
“Because she wrote the script, she was able t give us a very clear idea of what our characters were seeing and what they were experiencing.
“So I never felt that I didn’t have everything I needed to act out a scene, even if you couldn’t see what the audience sees on screen.”
