So many photos, so little time. I’ve bunches these all together to save on the room. Enjoy.

FilmSchoolRejects has a photo of one of the new billboards in Los Angeles advertising The Spirit. Much cooler than the crappy production photos released a couple days back. There are supposedly more billboards like this around Los Angeles, but no photos are yet available.

Darren Aronofsky is busy editing his next film The Wrestler on an island off of Africa. The photo above shows editor Andrew Weisblum working on the film.
A storyboard page from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li has been released on the film’s official website. From the looks of it, these [...]

Has Transformers 2 begun location scouting?
It is revealed in an article in Mainline Today that Michael Bay’s big budget sequel has applied for tax incentives to shoot in and around Philadelphia starting in June. M Night Shyamalan’s big screen live action adaptation Avatar has also applied for the same incentives.

An international movie trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening hit the web earlier this month, but was quickly removed by Fox. I think it might have had something to do with the unrated nature of the previous trailer (which can still be found on YouTube). I loved the “mass suicide” sequence shown in that trailer, but criticized the trailer for showing very little of the real story which involved Mark Wahlberg and his family on the run.
The official trailer has now hit the interwebs. The new trailer is more mysterious, building towards the mysterious apocalyptic crisis. I know a lot of people love to criticize Shyamalan, it’s become the [...]

I know, everyone loves to unload the hate on M. Night Shyamalan. I agree, his recent batch of releases have been subpar, but we must keep reminding ourselves that this guy made two or three really solid movies. I believe he has more in him, he just needs a good producer to help edit his visions down. He needs people on the staff willing to tell him how stupid he will look on screen as the writer who is supposed to be the savior of the world. I think Fox is giving him one last chance, and Night actually feels he has something to prove (which is much better than [...]

The teaser poster for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening is now online thanks to ComingSoon. The poster features the cheesy tagline text “We’ve Sensed It, We’ve Seen The Signs, Now… It’s Happening.” Check out the full poster after the jump.

If you haven’t realized this already, but it’s a slow news day. So I thought we’d take the time to wish M. Night Shyamalan a happy 37th Birthday. Hey, not only can we can still remember back to the time when he made good movies, and I think I’m possibly the only critic to give The Lady in the Water a good review.
After the jump we have some M Night video treats including footage of Shyamalan in an early student film entitled “The Guru” shot by his friend Rob Schneider (who wrote and directed it). We also have the two minute version of the brilliant American Express “My Life, My [...]

John Leguizamo has been cast in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, according to Variety. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg as a man who takes his family on the run, in an attempt to survive a natural global environmental crisis that presents a large-scale threat to humanity. Mother Nature is sick of our polluting ways and has decided that we must go. An invisible neurotoxin is admitted into the air which causes people to become suicidal. Leguizamo will play Wahlberg’s friend. Zooey Deschanel is also attached to the project.
Shyamalan’s first R-rated effort will have a $57 million budget, and stars shooting next month in Philadelphia. The Happening hits theaters worldwide on [...]

Mark Wahlberg is set to star in M. Night Shyamalan’s paranoid apocalyptic thriller The Happening.

The Hollywood Reporter editor Cynthia Littleton jumped ship to Variety. The trade is supposedly looking for a big BIG name replacement.
A new study shows that U.S. teenagers who watch a lot of R-rated movies or have unsupervised access to TV shows appear more likely than similar black youths to start smoking cigarettes.
Michael Bay’s Transformers will “be longer than people expect because it’s very entertaining,” says the film’s producer. So expect the movie to possibly clock in at over two hours (Bay hasn’t made a film under two since Bad Boys).
Mel Gibson is thinking of shooting a remake of the 1950 film noir Panic in the Streets in Panama.
M. Night Shyamalan [...]

Remember that cool Darth Vader voice changing helmet from a couple years back? Well now they’ve announced a Transformers Optimus Prime voice changing helmet. This isn’t quite as cool, but it’s definitely more geeky.
Sneak a peak at the new CARS Race Rally ride, which is being built at the Walt Disney Studios Park in France.
We were huge fans of the Oscar-nominated doc Deliver Us From Evil. Well director Amy Berg is going to direct her first narrative feature This is Not America. Based on a real story, the movie follows a Yupi’k American Indian girl taken from her Alaskan family in the 1960s and sent to a series of foster [...]
