I'm sorry, but Shymalan an amazing director? Sixth Sense, and Unbreakable were his only really, good films. Signs was okay. The Village and Lady in the Water were bad. Then came the Happening, and he lost the little credibility he had. Airbender has pretty much condemned his film career if you ask me.

I've never understood the hoopla over M. Night Shamalamadingdong's films. They're... meh. Freaky weird for the sake of being freaky weird. Put the freaky weird in service of the story and I'll dig it, but... eurgh.

This is old news, but man, I like Jim's choice of Clancy Brown to play Morgan. He's like 6'3, and has the voice for the role and everything.

You have to ad,it that the plot of lady in the water was pretty good, and it was an alright movie, the villiage was a  decent movie, it actuslly scared me. as for the happening, that i enjoyed (im an enviormentlist...so yeah. and my drunk friend peeing his pants made it awesome) it wasnt the best written, but i enjoyed it. it was a good lots watch things die. the probablem with M. night is, he cannot advertize for crap. he dressed up lady in the water as a horror, and he built up the happening way to much. although del toro, lynch, nolan, and cameron are waaaay better. although cameron while awesome, also cannot write all that well. luc besson is also amazing

I want bash what you're saying simply because I respect your opinion. I just don't really like M. Night's movies (despite the fact that I always watch them). I didn't go see Airbender though, mainly because it got negative reviews like most of his recent films and I heard it sucked from a friend.

I've also been trying to find an actor who could play Martin. Then it hit me. Who is the most bland, unemotional man in hollywood?

Keanu Reeves of course.

You know, Reeves does have the face that I've always pictured for Martin.

I was sort of joking around when I first thought of him as Martin, but then thought of Reeves. The role would be a piece of cake for him. He acts bland in the movies where he is supposed to be exciting.  ;D

Oh. Dear. God.

And I saw Airbender. And it made me weep on the inside. The cartoon, and all of the original characters in the cartoon are crying havoc. I liked The Sixth Sense when it came out, though that was only because Bruce Willis amuses me, and I like watching him. But I don't think I've watching a single M. Night movie except for Signs since then. They just all looked so stupid.

Dude, I can swing with this. Just make him grow his hair out, and get him some Just For Men Touch Of Grey for when he does :D

If ANY one thinks to tap him to do Dresden, lo will I cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war on Hollywood. I WILL HURT SOMEONE. No one, least of all some dumbass Hollywood exec and a filmmaker that apparently doesn't know what he's really doing, is going to ruin my favorite book series, dammit!

Unbreakable was Shymalan's best movie IMO, besides Sixth Sense. It's seriously underrated...
