It's happening...

Okay, so a lot of people can find plenty of things to complain about when it comes to M. Night Shyamalan. I am not one of those people. I am a big fan of his suspenseful and crafty flicks (especially when they include Mr. Joaquin Phoenix). No matter how you feel about his movies though, you can't deny that his casts are usually stellar and each actor tends to return for another round (ie. Bruce Willis, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the aforementioned master of the tortured, brooding soul).

The next installment of Shyamalan-palooza is enigmatically entitled "The Happening." Or maybe it's not so enigmatic. Stuff will probably happen. It's an alien invasion thriller revolving around a family and undoubtedly the destruction of the world. Did I mention that it stars Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel? So choice.

The initial poster consists of a deserted street littered with abandoned cars and a tag line including the words "We've seen The Signs." Yes, Night, indeed we have.
