Thanks to Laura3341 for the heads up.
The cable network has given a put-pilot commitment to a project from Shyamalan and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Marti Noxon titled Proof, marking his first foray into scripted television, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.
Proof centers on the son of a billionaire tech genius who, following an accident that claims his parents' lives, offers a large reward for anyone who can find proof of life after death.
Shyamalan and Noxon will co-write the project and serve as EPs. Ashwin Rajan, of Shyamalan's Blinding Edge, also will serve as an exec producer.

That sounds different. I either really like or really dislike his stuff.
ReplyDeleteShyamalan destroyed the Airbender movie. For that travesty I don't give a single damn about any project he's a part of, and I pity anyone who is forced to work with this guy. This project's only saving grace is that it's not based off anything that he can go out of his way to ruin, and thus piss off a fanbase.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed some of his earlier works, but his recent films have left a bitter taste in my mouth. Until he makes up for that absolutely atrocious Airbender movie, he might as well be Uwe Boll.
You can't rely on completely obvious "twists" in TV. He definitely will need to find a new paradigm.
