CoolioD1 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 From a recent interview: “I hope when people see my name on a movie it means they are not going to get what they think they are getting,” he says. “I offer originality.” Yeah, most people who saw any of your movies in the last ten years probably thought they were getting a good one. So I think you did the trick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 From a recent interview: Yeah, most people who saw any of your movies in the last ten years probably thought they were getting a good one. So I think you did the trick. The real twist is that M. Night is not the creative genius he made himself out to be. We were all fooled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yeah, he's done with making good films for the masses, now he can get to the utter crap he always wanted to make. Yep, he hasn't gotten the message since The Village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I can't see AE missing 20m as much as it deserves it. Seems more like wishful thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJackSparrow Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Only movie I disliked was TLA. Never saw Lady In The Wayer, heard it was terrible. Edited May 31, 2013 by djdunkeykong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Why didn't you kill him when THE LAST AIRBENDER was released? That did 320M WW. This one is a Will Smith sci-fi blockbuster that will open with 20M in America and probably end with less than 200M WW.

Gopher Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Oh my God. I thought M. Night picked this project because it was a Will/Jaden Smith vehicle and there was no way it could fail. Oh my GOD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandrew Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Will Smith (story) imdbWhitta was the main writer.The original screenplay was written by Gary Whitta based on an idea by Will Smith. In pre-production, director M. Night Shyamalan did a few drafts of the screenplay to familiarize himself with the material, before passing it over to Stephen Gaghan, who stayed on as the chief screenwriter during production. Mark Boal, writer of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, also worked on the script.The original idea for the film was about a father and son on a camping trip. The son would've had to make his way through the forest to find help for the father after the car they were traveling in careened off the road. Realizing that the idea had greater potential, producer Will Smith and screenwriter Gary Whitta decided to adapt the basic survival concept into a much larger science-fiction project.Also from IMDB Edited May 31, 2013 by jandrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
