M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening" Trailer
- Thread starter Darth Mode
- Start date
But what's the buzz? Tell me. Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the future. Save tomorrow for tomorrow, think about today instead. When do we ride into Philadelphia?
I might be wrong but I think thekidslepthere said he read the script and said it was the most retarded thing MNS ever wrote.

Why does everything this creep makes get so much buzz? He hasnt made a good movie since the Sixth Sense.
Im willing to be he also puts himself somewhere into the movie too.
Holy shit, read the other thread. There is no way this could have been made into a movie.

Finally towards the end Mark, his wife, and their friends kid, wind up in the middle of nowhere at this very religious woman's house. Everything seems perfect. But then we find out the religous lady isn't happy and the plants get her. The only way to survive is by being positive! If you love the plants they'll love you.
QFT!
For some reason, as I watched the trailer, I was thinking of Stephen King's book, Cell. The initial scenes are very similar to what happened in the book.
I gave up on Shyamalan after The Village, UGH! Based on the spoiler, this doesn't seem any better. I hate it how you can cut together a bunch of scenes, making it look great but the final scene is a bust.

FYI Eli Roth will be directing "Cell" which is stated to be released next year.

I liked Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs…
The Village wasn’t a bad idea, but it was done so poorly that even the concept ends up seeming lame. I think if other writers assisted him on that script there was potential there for a good movie. But as it is it’s a really bad movie.
The Lady in the Water was ill conceived in many areas. First off, he tried to “think out of the box” and create a children’s fable in theme but yet would be marketed towards adults by using adult elements of suspense and characterization. Kind of a tribute to the original versions of fairy tales which in today’s standards were fairly intense for children. But people either didn’t get the concept or didn’t buy into it. And once again, the writing was poor. (Also, while taking an overt shot at movie critics may have been self-satisfying it came off as hack in the movie.)
I still think M. Night has some good movies in him, he just needs to develop the ideas better and maybe bring in other writers to work with him on his projects. But I’m probably giving him more leeway than most people do as after hearing him interviewed several times he seems like a genuinely good guy and I tend to root for him because of that. But he desperately needs The Happening to be a hit.
