M. Night Shyamalan is a, uh, divisive filmmaker to say the least, and he’s got a new movie underway. It’s going to be called “Old” and it has a poster.

Another week gone by, another literal ton of news to go over. Welcome to the third edition of Awesome News! This week we cover the Hugo Award and Creative Emmy Awards winners, Hailee Steinfeld joins Hawkeye, AppleTV+ launch date and price, Disney+ full launch day roster, a feature length Kung Fury is still happening, Michael Fassbender is working with Taika Waititi, and new movies from Funko Pops (yes, really) and M Night Shyamalan. No word on a collaboration between those two. Yet.
Anyway let’s get to it.
Here’s the first trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit and it looks pretty bad. Let’s watch!
This is a super creepy poster this falls The Visit. THe film involves two kids being sent to spend time with their grandparents and the grandparents end up being involved in something… well, creepy anyway.
I wish I had expectations that the movie would be any good, however it’s an M. Night Shyamalan movie so I can’t say that’s the case.
Still, creepy poster.
If you’d asked me a few hours ago what I expected to write here I probably would have said something like “Well, After Earth looks like it might be cool but M. Night Shyamalan directed it so I’m worried it’s going to suck.”
To be fair, M. Night Shyamalan’s track record of late isn’t exactly stellar. Signs and Unbreakable were middling. Lady in the Water and The Village were terrible. The Last Airbender was atrocious. It seems that every subsequent film has gotten worse and worse. My fears were unfounded though because I thought that the movie would be bad because he’d throw in some ridiculous twist that would make me groan at having to sit through the movie to get to it. Turns out it’s bad just because it’s just a pretty straightforward bad movie.
Trailer #2 for After Earth is better than the last trailer for After Earth.
I dunno, this might look spectacular but sicne I am aware that M. Night Shyamalan directed leaves me worried that it might suck.
