In Defence Of… M. Night Shyamalan

M Night Shyamalan

Last month, Dave Roper put forward a case for the defence of MICHAEL BAY: a director very often reviled but rarely exonerated.

Shyamalan Using Unbreakable 2 Idea for The Night Chronicles

M Night Shyamalan

Current Hollywood whipping boy (and deservedly so) M. Night Shyamalan has been talking to MTV about the series of fantasy films he’s producing called the Night Chronicles (a title which further suggests this guy has a seriously bloated ego – he’s no Alfred Hitchcock…).

surrogates1

This week, Bruce Willis stars in the sci-fi action movie Surrogates, directed by Jonathan Mostow. At one time this would have made it a marquee release, with a huge promotional push, but there’s been very little hype about it. Is Willis’ star fading? To put it in perspective, if Will Smith was the star of [...]
