The Sci Fi Channel is airing a "documentary" on "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs" director M. Night Shyamalan titled, "Portrait Of A Filmmaker: M. Night Shyamalan". Episodes will air simultaneous to the release of Shyamalan's new feature "The Village" this coming summer.

Nathanial Kahn ("My Architect") directed the series and is credited with writing as well, though according to sources close to Callum Greene (credited producer) the project was actually written and executive produced by Shyamalan himself!

The "documentary" is a FICTIONAL piece in the spirit of "The Blair Witch Project" that emulates the suspense/thriller aspects of "The Village". It will be presented as a factual documentary highlighting the making of "The Village", as well as the achievements and background of its subject, M. Night Shyamalan.

So is this all just an attempt to create buzz by stirring up a fake controversy? My sources say absolutely. In fact, I've heard that M. Night was the one who was the creative force behind this documentary from the get-go. The story certainly sounds fishy the way it’s being reported so far, and M. Night is such a notorious control freak that this sounds exactly like something he’d do.

At this point, I’d say you probably shouldn’t go into this expecting to see something really ugly and revealing, because I get the feeling it’s all just part of his master plan to sell us a whole bunch of nothing this time around. We’ll see...

"Moriarty" out.
