Shyamalan, who penned the "Woods" script, is also producing along with Scott Rudin and Sam Mercer. Walt Disney Studios chairman Richard Cook and production president Nina Jacobson are overseeing for the studio. In addition to "Holes," Weaver most recently appeared in the Focus Features drama "The Guys" and the Miramax comedy "Tadpole." "The Woods" marks her first time working with Shyamalan.
