I always knew this guy was a hack, but add thief to that as well? Hmmm, reminds me o' Tarantino.


Author Contemplating Lawsuit Over 'The Village'
"Haddix told Reuters that she heard about the similarities last week when fans -- and then journalists -- began calling and e-mailing her and her publisher to ask if she had sold the book to Shyamalan. She said she has never spoken to "The Sixth Sense" director or to Disney.


"It's certainly an interesting situation," Haddix said. "I'm just examining what my options are."


In a statement, Disney and Shyamalan's Blinding Edge Pictures said they "believe these claims to be meritless."


Shyamalan has battled a copyright lawsuit brought by a Pennsylvania screenwriter who claimed the plot from the 2002 film "Signs" mirrored his unproduced script "Lord of the Barrens."


In "Running Out of Time" and "The Village," adults in a bucolic 19th century town keep the same secret from their children, and a plucky tomboy journeys through dangerous woods to get medicine."

His movies are shit.

I thought Gibson was great in Signs. The movie tried too hard, though.

I must be odd too- I liked Signs better than his other movies( but it did have Mel and aliens- so that helped)
