Shyamalan's latest movie The Happening is currently shooting in Philadelphia with Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo.

The plot revolves around some sort of suicide phenomenon. I've enjoyed the Shyamalama-ding-dong movies so far- I'm interested to see what his next film will be like.

i wasn't a big fan of The Village or Lady In the Water, but his other movies were ace.
This one has a good cast though, and I like Zooey.....mass suicides?.....we'll see.

The trailer is making the rounds now:

That just means you have to read mikull.com more often, before they are gone! Seriously though, I always try to find the best (stable) link I can find... this one was tough, I guess because it's so fresh. BUT hey- if you can help me out and find updated videos of what I posted, just post them up!

Only one I've really enjoyed was Signs.  I haven't even given Lady In the Water a chance because the Village was so horrible.  I hope he turns it around with this one.

Sixth Sense was decent - I don't know if it's a classic, but I liked it. Unbreakable I didn't like on first viewing in the theater, but I did enjoy it the second time on DVD ($4.99 special!). Signs was great; kinda scary and touching probably my favorite.

The Village was suspenseful, but the twist didn't really do it for me. I really enjoyed Lady in the Water; I think that's an acquired taste though... All in all, I've been pretty down with everything he's done, so I'm willing to give this a chance.

His signature is the twists- so I'm curious.

His movie started at the top for me, Sixth sense was great and slowly went downhill for me.  Unbreakable was a solid movie but I thought Signs was bad, The Village even worse.  I have yet to see lady in the water though, I have it on the queue.

This one looks decent but you never know until you watch with a film like this.

I love this guys movies but don't waste your time with Lady In The Water.  It was absolutely terrible.  

That being said I am still looking forward to this one.

looks pretty good, it looks like the best thing he has done in awhile, i'll probably check this out

See, I gotta tell you: it was a late, hot summer night - I kicked up the air, got a nice beverage, and sat down with my wife to rock this one. She passed out within 20 minutes, but I really enjoyed watching it. I see what he was feeling with this one, and really dug it.

New, longer trailer:

Spooky or lame? I'm still interested to find out.

There's an "early screening scooper" over at Collider who's written in with a very, very negative review of The Happening. This person goes after the acting most of all, as well as the awkward pacing -- going so far as to say "it's bad on an epic scale."

The Happening lands in theaters on Friday, June 13th. JoBlo has revealed a new Red Band trailer for The Happening. Check it out over here: http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=21108

Oh No's not again.

i'm actually excited for this movie, i would have to say his best movie is Unbreakable

I'll probably go see this anyway, and Zooey Deschanel is a hottie for sure
