Saw the preview in front of Jumper. Is this the movie that will get Shyamalan back on track? Sixth Sense and Unbreakable and some extent Signs were all well made but I believe he has just expanded on bad projects. I'll still be there for this one but I'm not too interested in the premise.

everybody just disappears


BUT IT TURNS OUT IT WAS ACTUALLY THE MAIN CHARACTER THAT DISAPPEARS



oooooh

2/18/2008 7:19:00 AM

^ that was a Star Trek TNG episode.

This guy uses the same ploy in all his movies. Show some confusing images in the trailer and hope people's curiosity gets the better of them. Kind of irritating to me. I thought the only good movie he made was The Sixth Sense and even that was only ok. I probably would have liked it more if someone hadn't told me the ending before I saw it.

2/18/2008 8:18:43 AM

Yeah, so the guy has made a career of padding out 12 minute Twilight Zone episodes to feature length productions. I'd rather watch TZ. At least it gets to the point quickly.

2/18/2008 8:46:48 AM

trailer a little ways down on this page.

Wut?

We've Sensed It.

We Couldn't Break It.

We've Seen The Signs.

It Was In A Village.

It Was Like A Lady, Except You Know, In The Water.

Now... It's Happening.

If there's anyone that can give fellatio to himself, its M. Night.

2/18/2008 10:42:52 AM

yeah he's a pompous douche.

LOOK, I WRITE, DIRECT, AND ACT.

"A FILM BY M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN"

if it says a film by _______, chances are the director is a dick.

nevertheless, i enjoy some of his movies and will see this.

"Violent suicide"

2/18/2008 11:42:04 AM

here is a link to a better trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QlcJwZwDF4

looks awesome to me\


and almost all movies say the director below the title on a preview
but he knows more people will flock to see it if it has his name under it...and he is right

[Edited on February 18, 2008 at 11:45 AM. Reason : yep]

2/18/2008 11:44:42 AM

THE HAPPENING

with Marky Mark

2/18/2008 11:46:25 AM

^^Obviously.

I'm talking about in the opening credits or trailers or posters too i guess, specifically a film by _________

[Edited on February 18, 2008 at 11:53 AM. Reason : gdf]

2/18/2008 11:52:49 AM

looks retarded

2/18/2008 12:21:03 PM

seeing this movie will make you want to commit violent suicide

2/18/2008 12:37:39 PM

eating honey stops it

2/18/2008 1:11:45 PM

or touch something green

2/18/2008 1:32:19 PM

Hahaha in that trailer BDub posted, I'm glad there is a shot of Marky Mark rolling his eyeballs around for about 10 seconds.

Also, did I see John Leguizamo in there? THE SUPER MARIO BROTHERS WILL SAVE HUMANITY!

2/18/2008 1:43:17 PM

OBNOXIOUS CAMEO ALERT

The thing that gets me about those is that he thinks he's doing what Hitchcock did...but Hitchcock got in the shot and got out. Shyamalan never gets in and out that quickly.

the day after Hilary becomes president

2/19/2008 3:22:52 PM

Hey, does anyone know which novel Shyamalan stole this idea from?

for a second there it made me think of cell
but thats entirely different

2/19/2008 6:23:59 PM

With the exception of Signs, i've liked all of M. Night's movies.

I do hate though they way in which they're marketed.

2/19/2008 6:45:09 PM

This movie is gonna be hot.

Fuck all the haters

2/19/2008 6:46:37 PM

I am gonna go with evil fairies for this one. OR global warming

2/19/2008 7:34:13 PM

2/19/2008 8:28:43 PM

looks promising, but damn, what an awful name.

2/19/2008 9:04:47 PM

This trailer was attached to Iron man when I saw it. Such a one-trick pony

5/6/2008 6:33:09 AM

was it a different trailer?

5/6/2008 8:11:04 AM

this guy couldnt make a good movie to save his life

[Edited on May 6, 2008 at 8:17 AM. Reason : ]

5/6/2008 8:17:46 AM

I thought the trailer was comical. They tried to make it suspenseful by sounding that loud noise every few seconds... to keep people awake/paying attention I guess. The andromeda strain 'trailer' suffered from the same thing. It kept going on forever.

not sure, i never saw the one that was posted before it was removed from youtube. i do remember lots of loud sudden noises like the above poster mentioned, and although initially i was intrigued, it quickly changed into resentment before the trailer was over.

the twist is they are in the matrix. bonus points for a cameo from keanau.

Hahaha I love how every Shyamalan movie that comes just results in speculation about what the twist ending is.

I'm gonna say that the twist ending is that they are all actually characters in a video games like the Sims, and the computer running it got a virus or a power surge or something.

5/6/2008 11:49:39 AM

it was a different trailer.

it made the movie look not so good.

they made it look like this thing that is killing people is a physical thing... with people running away from something...

5/6/2008 12:02:52 PM

Also the thing makes loud booming noises as it moves. I'm guessing some sort of hippo, or maybe the Juggernaut.

5/6/2008 12:34:55 PM

What if the twist this time was that there is no twist???

5/6/2008 12:57:27 PM

I'd pay to see it if I knew in advance it was the juggernaut

5/6/2008 12:58:51 PM

^^He already did that with Lady in the Water.

5/6/2008 1:09:56 PM

the twist is, he makes another shitty movie then at the end he comes on screen holding stacks of money n says "i gots your money bitches"

5/6/2008 2:13:16 PM

oops

[Edited on May 6, 2008 at 2:48 PM. Reason : grrr]

5/6/2008 2:41:44 PM

I liked "Signs" and "Lady in the Water" wasn't nearly as bad as advertised. There, I said it.

5/6/2008 2:44:00 PM

This should be the final image of the movie:

5/6/2008 2:49:09 PM

M. Night Shymalan presents Tyler Perry's Big Fat Bowl of Shit

5/6/2008 2:58:46 PM

is he making another movie, dammit
