Shyamalan brings in Buried writer for the next Night Chronicles
Jun. 23, 2010
M. Night Shyamalan is on the precipice of a potential comeback, with THE LAST AIRBENDER set to bend the elements on the big Independence Day weekend. And besides trying to gather people like Bruce Willis for a new movie, he's preparing to have his name on more projects.
Well, part of his name -- the "Night Chronicles", a series of Shyamalan-produced low-budget genre films based on his own ideas, is already getting the second Chronicle going.
Shyamalan has put writer Chris Sparling to work on TWELVE STRANGERS, a "thriller that involves a jury deliberating a case involving the supernatural." Sparling penned the festival fave BURIED, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a guy stuck in a coffin somewhere in the Iraqi desert.
The first Night Chronicles entry, DEVIL, is apparently about a group of people trapped in an elevator with the dark lord himself. That one comes from the Brothers Dowdle (QUARANTINE) and is due in February.
| Extra Tidbit: | Sparling also wrote a thriller called ATM, which is apparently about a money-dispensing device and not what I wish it was about. |

Twelve Strangers
This is kinda what we've all suggested at one point or another.
now if you followed that with Shyamalan brings in a director we'd be on to something watchable.
Thumbs down be damned, this guy hasnt been good in years.

He should do a movie...
A completely straight story with a logical conclusion, that leaves people scratching their heads trying to figure out the surprise.
