[TB4000]

Shyamalan Takes Lady to WB
Source: The Hollywood Reporter March 24, 2005


M. Night Shyamalan will next write and direct the fantasy thriller Lady in the Water for Warner Bros. Pictures.

The movie centers on the superintendent of an apartment building who finds a rare type of sea nymph swimming in the apartment pool.

Production will begin in August on location in Philadelphia, for a release in July 2006.

Shyamalan's last four films - The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and The Village - were distributed by Disney. The studio and Shyamalan discussed "Lady," but the two decided mutually to part ways on the project.

I really like his movies. I guess people don't like suspenseful movies that touch weird subjects now days. I haven't watched The Village, but I've watched everything else and I give them a thumbs up.

Didn't I see this before when it was called Splash (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088161/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD1vbnxmYj11fHBuPTB8cT1zcGxhc2h8bX g9MjB8bG09NTAwfGh0bWw9MQ__;fc=1;ft=24;fm=1)?

I wonder what the signature M. Night Shyamalan "twist" will be.

Nah! Betcha it's gonna be long, growing, seemingly-Asian-straight-jet-black hair coming out from corners of rooms and shit, entwining itself around people's necks!

So it's about a rare type of sea nymph, as opposed to the common type of sea nymph. That's the twist.

Well, I'm betting its a rare type of sea nymph because it can see dead people. kekekeke

HAHAHAHAHAHAH
i was totally reading it as spices
and didn't even think it to be species.

i wonder if the sea nymph is a pretty sea
nymph or an ugly sea nymph and if it
is a pretty sea nymph i hope it's played
by angelina jolie because she's hoTT.

The rare sea nymph will be played by Bruce Willis, cos "Dude, looks like a lady!" The twist I foresee is that the nymph is a transexual; think 'The Crying Game.'

[mr. x]

you wanna know the twist? Turns out it is US who are the land nymphs and she's the normal one

Haha, probably something even more dramatic. Something like she's the next human evolution or something. Or the guy who's looking at the nymph is really imaging her or some shit like that.

[TB4000]

She's a MAN, baby!

[s1eve]

That ain't no woman! It's a man, man!

sigh, i guess it was allll a dream...

Haha, I wonder how M. Night's going to put himself into this one.

[deez nuts]

his movies are such crap.

i don't get what all the hype is with this guy.

[applehead]

well. i think his movies are a bit
high brow suspense. but not too highbrow
to alienate the general public.

i haven't watched the village yet.
but i know the ending so that sucks.
well, i heard the village sucked. so whatever.

[Banana]

I agree with C-Boy.

Other than the Sixth Sense which deserves some merit, many of his movies are just ripoffs from that show "The Outer Limits." At least with "The Outer Limits," I don't have to put down 9.50 for a movie that can be explained in a 1 hour TV show.

[hooligan]

I mean, if you're going to discuss movies in general, M. Night's movies are pretty well done compared to all the crap that's been coming out of Hollywood. I think he's a pretty good cinematographer and that if his movies are crap then the rest of whatever's coming out is probably worse than what he can do.

"Less crappy" doesn't really mean "good" though.

Of course, we can bring back the days of the Silver Screen, when everything was infinitely better than it is now.

Except instead of seeing Jet Li and Jackie Chan and Lucy Liu and Kelly Hu (and the countless other Asians I'm a bit tired to bring up), we'd be seeing non-Asians in "Dragon Lady" or "Fu Manchu" roles again.
