Shyamalan Still Making Films
Despite the general overall failure of his last picture, Lady in the Water, M. Night Shyamalan remains determined to continue his downward spiral with another film, The Happening (previously known as The Green Effect).
Pic, which will mark Shyamalan's first R-rated effort, is a paranoid thriller about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity. The pic is expected to carry a budget of around $57 million, and Shyamalan told Daily Variety he expects to cast a big male star for the lead.Shyamalan will prep and shoot "The Happening" as he continues to write the script for "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Shyamalan will follow with that live action film for Paramount.
In addition to the change of studio and the R-rating the film will carry, The Happening will be a departure from his previous work in that we now know the famous Shyamalan surprise ending before even see the film. This film's surprise: "Surprise! This one was even shittier than the last one!"

Jesus, who keeps funding this guys movies? He made two good movies and even that's debatable. They have steadily gotten worse and worse. Like the Village...find me one place in America that a plane never flies over. They tell me that it's explained in the movie, but I could explain why my shit tastes good, it doesn't make it true.
