It seems the Shamhammer will have Marky Mark in his next film project. The lowdown is delivered via messenger pigeons from Moviehole:
Seemingly knowing that they’re going to have to have another name – besides the now slightly acerbic and unsavoury Shyamalan tag – on the poster and marquee, to sell the movie, FOX have roped in their old “Planet of the Apes” comrade Wahlberg to play the male lead in “The Happening”.
I am not a fan of Shamhammer. Mainly because I find twist endings annoying 90% of the time, and he overdoes them to the point of nausea. With Marky Mark on board hopefully he will come up with something that deviates from his now maligned style.
Sadly it is a movie about a family that is on the run from an apocalyptic threat. I disliked the family element in War of the Worlds and I am not excited to see another “family running from bad stuff” movie. Nothing kills action like a family unit on the run. More apocalypse – less family might be a good idea shamhammer.
