M Night Shymalan on casting Dave Bautista in Knock at the Cabin 

M Night Shyamalan had recently, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, had opened up on his decision to cast Dave Bautista, revealing that it was because of one scene in Blade Runner 2049. The Oscar-nominated artist shared that he was impressed by the manner in which the wrestler-turned-actor remained 'still' for one of the scenes. He said that every cell in the body would do what it's supposed to do if one was 'thinking correctly' and Dave embodied this philosophy, by appearing 'still' and 'doing everything', instead of the still of 'doing nothing.'
