M Night Shyamalan New Movie “The Happening”

M Night Shyamalan will begin shooting his newest film “The Happening” which is scheduled to be released late Summer of 2008. 20TH Century Fox and India based UTV have recently announced they will be co-producers of M Night Shyamalan’s latest film.

What is the film about? The Happening is being described as a paranoid thriller about a man and his family on the fun from a natural crisis that presents a large scale threat to humanity. Aliens take control of the Earth’s animals and plants in order to take control of the planet. Sounds interesting enough and because of who the director is, I’m sure it will be.

So who will play “the man”? There is nothing set in stone as of right now but sources are stating that Mark Wahlberg is in talks to take the lead role in Shyamalan’s The Happening. He would be playing Elliott Moore, a teacher and struggling musician.

What I found pretty interesting is that M Night Shyamalan was having problems getting anyone to produce this film. Originally titled “The Green Effect“, this film was not being picked up by any of the production studios and the script needed to be rewritten. It seems that M Night Shyamalan took the suggestions he was given about his script and implemented the changes.

waiting for the release mmmmmm
