Although there hasn't been an official confirmation from Disney yet, various sources are reporting that Mel Gibson has agreed to star in M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller Signs.

Shyamalan is best known for his breakout hit The Sixth Sense and last year's Unbreakable. Signs follows the story of a rural Philadelphia farm and the mysterious appearance of crop circles overnight.

Young star on the rise Mark Ruffalo is also said to be getting close to signing on to this project. Filming is set to begin later this year with a release set for late next year.
