M. Night Shymalan Wants to Do Unbreakable 2?

Okay. I’m totes magotes JK. But!…There is a poss sequel in the works to M. Night Shyamalan’s brilliant 2000 superhero drama Unbreakable, starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Now, I’m sort of torn on this one. I honestly think that Unbreakable is Shyamalan’s best film. The story is so compelling, that creates characters you truly care about and of course, contains, I THINK, his best mind-blowing ending plot twist. When David Dunn touches Mr. Glass’ hand for the first time and realizes that it was he who caused all those horrific, deadly accidents, was just a hair-raising moment in cinema. HOWEVER!….Shymalan’s last three films have been poop and crap mixed with burnt poop and crap.

I’m sorry, but The Village was one of the biggest disappointments in movie history, with its retarded (no pun intended) ending plot twist. Lady in the Water was…”Meh” at best and The Happening was atrocious at best. So, he’s got some work to do to win back the faith of movie-goers. It seems very rare for a filmmaker to make three critically-acclaimed, box-office smashes in a row: The Sixth Sense,  Unbreakable and Signs. Then, make three critically-destroyed, box-office failures in a row: The Village, Lady in the Water and The Happening. Don’t get me wrong, M. Night is a brilliant filmmaker, who is unbelievably talented, but those latter three films were crap. They just were!

So what the hell am I talking about, you might ask? Well, M. Night sat down with MTV, during mid-production on his latest film, the fantasy-adventure movie, The Last Airbender, and he addressed his rumored interest in doing an Unbreakable 2. When asked if he was interested, he told MTV:

“I am.I don’t know where all the parties are in the world. Sam [Jackson] is like ‘Mr. Comic Book’ now. And Bruce, I don’t know what he’s up to. I don’t know where Disney’s at in their head and what kind of movies they’re up for making. But yeah, I love that movie.”

So, IDK. If M. Night can get his shit together and stop worrying about the shock-value of his signature mind-blowing endings and actually write a good, compelling story, I’ll see it. But if he keeps whipping out this crap, I will start to boycott his films. You only get so many chances in Hollywood people. C’mon!!
