I know I am! M. Night Shyamalan has been my favorite director for a few years now and I always really love his films. Tonight I learned he's going to be doing a Thriller set to come out next year in June. Possibly starring Mark Wahlberg plus it's going to be his first R rated film. Here's a few snippets from this article (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117960659.html?categoryid=13&cs=1):
'Pic, which will mark Shyamalan's first R-rated effort, is a paranoid thriller about a family on the run from a natural crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity. The pic is expected to carry a budget of around $57 million, and Shyamalan told Daily Variety he expects to cast a big male star for the lead.'
Sounds interesting to me. What do you think? You like M. Night movies??
"Tom felt strongly about making this my first R-rated picture," Shyamalan said. "We talked about trying to get the kind of intensity that is present in 'Silence of the Lambs,' and the kind that Guillermo del Toro got in `Pan's Labyrinth.' The impact of the beautiful things in that movie wouldn't have landed as strongly if the film had not been R rated."

HOORAY!!!!! I love his movies! I loved Sixth Sense (as do all M Night fans) and I once saw a creepy documentary about how he drowned in a lake but came back to life and that he can actually see ghosts. I find that documentary totally intriguing.
As for his movies, all of them are good. The Village wasn't as good as the rest of his movies but it was still good by my standards.
