M. Night's next movie
Reply to Topic
Yeah, I was just reading about it.
He is undecided as of the interview 7/15/06, but toying with the idea of a Jurassic Park or an Agatha Christie theme.

lol jurrasic park wow that came out of left field i wanted to know cause it would be sweet to be in one of his movies as an extra specially since im in philly area whats that other theme you said what is it about
I dunno about the Harry Potter film. At least the fans at the Snitch (probably the most prolific HP site out there, based in England) weren't too keen on the idea of MNS teaming up with JK Rowling.

And btw, morality is cheap when it's forced upon you and slapped across your face with the subtlety of a dead clown.
I think making a large, mainstream film like that might do some good for M. Night. Perhaps force him to collaborate and gain some perspective.
A well done Agatha Christie style film could be good for him to do. It would be different enough from what he has currently been working on, but still similar and would allow him to create interesting twists.
As for the Harry Potter idea, I could see it as a possibility for him to do the 7th, if it is darker then the rest have been. Otherwise, I don't want to see him doing it. Plus, I would tend to think that he would put his heavy influence of his own onto it, which wouldn't be that great a thing, IMO.

I really don't want to see M Knight doing mainstream stuff , theres enough directors out there doing that junk . His work is so wonderful and different , i would hate to see him sell out . I mean im sure he would make the movie his own but , His own works are far suprior then the mainstream stuff. ( i hope that made sense LOL)

He was at first going to direct it, but was replaced.
I was terribly disapointed with his work on "Lady In The Water". I thought it was a genious idea, but was poorly crafted. I hope the outcome of this film will give him some idea of what to do and not to do for future projects.
Does he have any older, not so heard of movies? I'd like to try and get a copy if there are any......
Look on imdb.com for all his movies. He's only done two others outside of the ones he is better known for. One looked like a comedy and the other was about an Indian boy, but I forget the plot.
I'd be disappointed to see him do a franchise flick at this point.

His first two film releases were:
1. Praying with Anger
2. Wide Awake
Both are very well done and I suggest them to anyone. You can find Wide Awake usually at the video rental store.
