M. Night Shyamalan’s Latest Script

Heat Vision of The Hollywood Reporter has some exclusive news that director M. Night Shyamalan has his next script in the bag along with some A-list talent already attached.

THR says:

Shyamalan is quietly circulating a new script around town. No details are known about the project, but it comes with some major acting talent: We’ve learned that Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bruce Willis are loosely attached to star in the film.

Shyamalan is famously secretive, and this project is no exception: Only top studio execs have read the script, and they were required to allow a Shyamalan assistant to supervise the process. When the execs finished reading, the assistant took the script back and left.

Right now, THE LAST AIRBENDER marketing is all over the place. Paramount Pictures has tv spots running non-stop, including The World Cup, for the July 1st release date. Much is riding on this big-tentpole, cgi extravaganza. But here’s the thing. M. Night Shyamalan’s name is still a part of all marketing campaigns and always has top billing over his film’s title.

As far as coming through with big name stars for the studios, THR smartly concluded,

with Cooper, Paltrow and Willis attached (the latter starred in the filmmaker’s breakthrough THE SIXTH SENSE and UNBREAKABLE), Shyamalan can still lure talent.
