Well, it looks like M. Night Shyamalan isn’t prepared to exit our genre any time soon. Just last week, I wrote about his growing desire to deliver us another UNBREAKABLE and now, the writer/director just spoke to Bloody-Disgusting about the brief details of his very next scare-centric film. Take a look at what he said:
“In my head I have three ideas that are fighting to be the next spec. One is more straight up scary, one is more light hearted scary – kind of more in the Signs vein, which I had a great time doing the lighter end on that one – the other one isn’t… well, it’s not Gothic… but I am always in that world when I am working on original ideas. I will be shooting that one in 2010, so I have some time to decide.”
Honestly, I don’t care which one M. Night picks as long as he continues giving us well-crafted flicks that make us think. Because you have to admit, whether it’s a homerun like THE SIXTH SENSE or a slump-inducer like LADY IN THE WATER, the man DOES KNOW how to do scary. I don’t care what anyone says, there are clear examples of skillful tension in every single one of his thrillers. Though I haven’t seen THE HAPPENING yet, I’m looking forward to catching it on DVD next week.
