The new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's THE VILLAGE is now online and available in a variety of download formats and sizes. Opening in theaters on July 30, Shyamalan's sixth film is set in a rural Pennsylvania township where the citizens enjoy a understanding with strange and sometimes dangerous creatures that live in the woods outside their homes. The town's villagers have a set of rules that they all must follow or else they may face the wrath of the creatures. For generations no one has challenged the rule to venture into the woods until a curious young man named Lucius Hunt (Joaquin Phoenix) tests the boundaries...and unleashes a set of events that will shatter the perfection of the isolated community.

Is there a twist to the story just as Shyamalan has in his other films (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE, SIGNS?) Care for a pretzel?
