Just what the title subject says. I was thinking about all the movies that he's made in the past twenty years.
You have...
(1) Praying With Anger (1992)
(2) Labor of Love (1995) (Bastards - This one was supposed to be his break-out hit with Dustin Hoffman as the starring role)
(2) Wide Awake (1998)
(3) The Sixth Sense (1999)
No Ordinary Man (4) Unbreakable (2000)
(5) Signs (2002)
Grey The Woods (6) The Village (2004)
(7) Lady in the Water (2006)
Green Planet The Green Effect (08) The Happening (2008)
This fan-made boxset could be a celebration of all things Shyamalan. Every movie could be revamped and re-edited by using tools. See, there's a website I go to called
www.fanedited.com which I found out because they actually have an extended version of Unbreakable there, called
Absolutely Unbreakable.
You know how The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village got, "Vista Series"? Well, what if we went from that idea and made a "Ultimate Series"? The box-set of eight movies would have 16-discs, 2-discs per movie, which would have content from the original DVDs plus fan-made content such as early scripts, photos, trailers, trivial facts, goof-ups, etc. As well, to the movies that could be applied to, each and every movie would be extended-cut editions: completely rearranged by (me) and made to fit perfectly within the model. I'm thinking about buying movie editing software one day, I probably will actually.
Anyways, I was thinking of doing this because M. Night Shyamalan is going to take a break for his next three movies and deal with a franchise, rather than come up with a new idea to his line of movies. This would be like a fanbois way of showing his dedication to his favorite director (i.e. me) and I thought that maybe others would be interested in this as well, if it's possible.
So tell me what you think. Should we make a M. Night Shyamalan Movie Boxset with his first 8 feature films?
I'm figuring that getting pictures shouldn't be too hard. Maybe finding extra content for Praying With Anger and Wide Awake, might be difficult, but all the more the better, if you ask me.
Here's some drafts that I got off the web:
Labor of Love
The Sixth Sense
Unbreakable
Signs
The Woods (Early draft of The Village, of course)
The Green Effect (Early draft of The Happening, of course)
Still need drafts of Praying With Anger, Wide Awake, and Lady in the Water. I'm surprised I couldn't find anything on Lady in the Water. If anyone wants to help me on this project, DON'T hesitant to. I'll eventually get something working here...
