M. Night Shyamalan shops "Green Planet"

Yes, I remenber, the time he use to sale script before even writing it ! That s time is over, and honestly if I was working in any studio I will look twice before give him the green ligth, especialy after lady in the water...Do you remenber the asia female, with her mum, the mum actually knew the all story about monster but she only talk by sequence to make some stupid suspens, it was hard for me to watch until the end !

News is the same everywhere.... It is amzing... Like KJ said, M Night has gone from the King of the mountain to mediocrity. At first I thought that it was kind of harsh, every director makes a few stinkers, and if the guy made 3 amazing movies chances are that he'll have another hit in him... but from what I'm reading Night went kinda Howard Hughes over the last couple of years and burnt a lot of bridges. His Ego expanded to a point where people got pissed... now he is paying for it.

Reminds me of ol' Val Kilmer. One day you're A-List. The next you're direct-to-video.
Hey, maybe they could do a movie together.

Don't be surprised if they both (Kilmer and M Night) wind up doing tv projects.

So, basically it's Signs 2. Yeah that is the creative mind of M. Night.
Well that's what he gets when everyone billed him as the next Hitchcock, which he wasn't.
I think Nolan has proven who the proper hier to that throne should be.

I wish he would go back and complete the trilogy that Unbreakable was originally supposed to be. Every time I watch that movie, I like it a little more. It is his best movie, as far as I am concerned.

yeah I think UNBREAKABLE is his best... and believe it or not, even that wasn't as good as the script to UNBREAKABLE (I'd gotten to read it about nine months before the movie came out -- and there were subtle differences that really impacted the story, characters and outcome). either way, I'd heard that the whole "trilogy" aspect of unbreakable was just talk. that he said he'd conceived of this grand idea, and then kept pairing it back, saying that he thought the best part of the whole idea was what he called "it's first act." so he said he made the first act into an entire movie, implying he had two more acts to follow. I know Harry at AintItCool ran with that saying (in a very linear fashion) that he'd love to see "UNBREAKABLE, BREAKABLE, BROKEN" but I don't even think that was M. Night's storyline for it.

I've often thought that UNBREAKABLE has massive potential to be a great tv show -- especially the way they're making good tv these days. then HEROES came along -- which is good stuff, but not totally great yet. I think there's still a way for M. Night to make UNBREAKABLE into a show -- and explore the idea of other powered beings on earth -- without treading into the ground HEROES has covered.

we'll see what happens. I agree, though, that his best bet is to make "AIRBENDER" (like that KJ said that instead of Avatar... hope they use that name too)

I like "UNBREAKABLE" too. I liked it even better from my couch. His movies tend to be more cerebral than action oriented. Many times I find them hard to sit through in the theater.

I loved Unbreakable. I think it's possibly the best superhero movie. It broke the subject down to its archetypal elements that are in every hero story and you could see it as the universal cultural image that it is.
The lone hero, gifted with more than human power and skill who feels the natural calling to mete out truth and justice and helped the oppressed. Also, the movie shows what it would be like if someone were a superhero in the real world. Wish they did do sequels.

I think he's a good at directing actors to get real performances. He has great concepts, but the execution of them seems to be drifting. It comes down to the scripts he's writing. He should really try to look around for other people's scripts to direct.

It's fine to direct your own material, but sometimes... you lose sight of what's best for the movie (since you don't want to cut things out that aren't needed). Every ending doesn't need a twist.

Oh... and Val Kilmer was in "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" not too too long ago which was a pretty good flick, but he also played as Moses in Ten Commandments: the Musical. I haven't seen that, though.
