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...

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.
