Why do people still give Shyamalan money to make movies?
Its funny you ask this. A couple of months (or a year?) ago, Shyamalan was attached to helm a television show that sounded exactly like Twin Peaks. The description was something like "A FBI agent enters a small town to search for a missing person and finds so many more mysterious things".
Now, that project (I can't remember the name, but it was even reported in this "announcement threads") has seemingly disappeared from mention, from history! a while before Lynch said he was going to do a new season of Twin Peaks.
Now, personally, I think there is a suspicious thing going on with Hollywood. Theres a couple of "gatekeeper producers" at the helm. JJ Abrams has the Star Trek and Star Wars market, that godawful ass Judd Apatow is behind every comedy film lately, Chris Nolan has free-reign on the... fare he makes and Joss Whedon is helming comic book stuff.
Its like there are a handful of people slicing up this big old pie for themselves... and its making each genre totally stagnant. There are no DC movies that don't ape Nolan's approach, there are no franchise scifi without Abrams creatively bankrupt drool all over it... I get that I'm a curmudgeon and that they're not making movies "for me" but goddamn, I'd like to see a trailer without saying "Oh, someone is copying Inception *again*".
