M. Night Shyamalan has an new production in the works entitled “Lady in the Water“. For the most part I enjoy Night Shyamalan’s films (although I wasn’t all that thrilled with The Village in the least). So automatically I’m looking forward to this one to see if he can get back to Sixth Sense or Signs form.
It doesn’t hurt that he’s already got Paul Giamatti lined up to be in the movie either. The good folks over at M&C give us this little synopsis of Lady in the Water:
Lady in the Water centers on the superintendent of an apartment building who discovers a sea nymph swimming in the complex’s pool.
Hmmm… sounds a little bit like Splash. All they need now is Daryl Hannah and they’re all set! Also, change “nymph” to “nymphomaniac” and I’ll line up at the theater this afternoon for my tickets! Actually, Rich put up an interesting post about this way back in March. You can see it here.
Ok, seriously though, I think it will be interesting to see Shyamalan’s next project. The Village was quite awful and he needs to rebound here to keep his rep. If I was a betting man I’d say he’ll make it work… but then again I thought Lucas would make Phantom Menace work too.
