I'd watch it.

After surviving half of The Last Airbender, you couldn't pay me to watch anything with M. Night Shyamalan's long weird name attached it. And I really need money...

M. Night is neither writing or directing this one - my Unbreakable Sixth Sense tells me to take that as a good Sign(s).

But it was his idea. I wonder how much influence he had on the writing process.

Credits say Night wrote the original story and produced this, so that qualifies as a major influence.  Think I'll pass on this one.  Ever since I saw Mark Wahlberg running from the wind in The Happening, it's just hard to take M. Night seriously anymore.

I haven't seen The Last Airbender, but I am a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan.

I was, for the first time, disappointed in his last movie, The Happening. I tried to tell myself that it was good, but quite frankly, it was not. As much as I hate to admit it.

I'll watch this. But not in the theatres.

PS - oooooh, post number 666....

Wow...looks great, actually...but then again, most of M. Night's trailers look good...it's just the finished product that totally sucks.

We'll see...

Wow...just a few days ago I watched a perfectly sh***y film on Netflix that looks exactly like this trailer.

Just sayin'.

I'd like to see this elevator movie but I can't find it.

As far as that other one goes well Z pretty much said it.

How the hell did Signs get above Unbreakable? Anyways, This trailer does look cool. I hope it can deliver. I really think M. night should be directing somebody else's script for a rebound.  Not someone else doing his. Not the direction thats bad. Just bad stories lately.

Hmmm....  ;) Can't think of a thing to say. Guess that happens once in a thousand years or so.

I'm intrigued about this idea, and I'm not a big Shyamalan hater. The Happening wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be (although it wasn't good either) and I haven't seen The Last Airbender yet, so I'll reserve judgment on him for the moment.

As for this movie, I think it looks pretty decent. Hopefully Shyamalan's more limited involvment will be a help. Plus the cast is excellent. Chris Messina is one of my favourite up-and-coming actors.

Look like one of those films with awesome trailers that turn out to be disappointments.

M. Night really isn't a very good filmmaker; his only great movie was The Sixth Sense. I don't know why he's still billed by some sort of genius by Hollywood.

But since he's not either writing or directing this, I'll probably give it a shot. It looks kinda like the same concept as Blackout (which I liked), only with a supernatural spin to it.

Looks good to me and I've enjoyed all of Nights films, even The Last Airbender to a small extent. The directors are pretty talented as well.
