And for those wondering why I’m not going, to be honest, I don’t know. But I’ve been pretty busy with marriage prep. You see, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years on the set of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. You can read about it at that link. I’ve had the opportunity to meet Michael Apted, now twice, as well as Andrew Adamson and many other amazing people. Someday, the opportunity to meet Night will present itself.

Noah Ringer heeds Shyamalan’s call
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 by Specter“The Sixth Sense” director M. Night Shyamalan has a pretty good track record for launching child stars in his thrillers, but “The Last Airbender” (which bows next July) posed a special challenge since it was based on Nickelodeon’s popular “Avatar” cartoon.

M. Night Shyamalan’s 39th Birthday!
Thursday, August 6th, 2009 by SpecterM. Night Shyamalan was born in Mah, Pondicherry, India on the 6th day of August in 1970. He was later raised in the Penn Valley area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Coming from a long line of doctors, Night wondered off the family path and into film-making. At the age of 29, exactly 10 years ago, his first wide-release film, The Sixth Sense, opened to great reviews and stupendous word of mouth. The film went on to gross $293 million dollars in the U.S. and almost $675 million world-wide. Landing at the second highest gross of the year, and as one of the highest grosses of all-time, the success of The Sixth Sense catapulted M. Night Shyamalan to the top of Hollywood.
Now 10 years later he is working on what he has called his Lord of the Rings: The Last Airbender.
All of the fans here at MNightFans.com would like to wish M. Night Shyamalan a Happy 39th Birthday, and many more years of success! Congratulations, M. Night, on an amazing first 10 years in the mainstream. Though it’s had it’s ups and downs, and though many people don’t look past the surface level at most of your films, we do, and we appreciate each of them more with every viewing. We look forward to the next 10 years, as we spend time on the world on which The Last Airbender trilogy takes place. (We know it’s not our Earth, the animals give that much away.)
