Um...Huh?

I'm as excited as anybody about M. Night's new movie.

But check out what wikipedia has to say...

"In January 2007, writer-director M. Night Shyamalan traveled from Philadelphia to Hollywood to prepare the live-action film based on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Shyamalan submitted a spec script entitled The Green Effect to various studios, but none expressed enough interest to purchase the script. The director collected ideas and notes from meetings, returning home to Philadelphia to rewrite the script, and 20th Century Fox greenlit the project.

Now titled The Happening, the film will be produced by Shyamalan and Barry Mendel and will be the director's first R-rated project. Shyamalan compared the film to the earlier paranoia films The Birds (1963) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).

Later in March, actor Mark Wahlberg, with whom Shyamalan had been negotiating at the same time as his deal with Fox, was cast into the lead role of the $57 million project."

I'm sorry...did they say "based on Avatar: The Last Air Bender"?

You can actually check out a pretty detailed review of Shyamalan's spec script, "The Green Effect," here. But be warned - this is a review of the first script, not the rewrite that is now the movie. It also contains quite a few spoilers.
