Learn What M. Night Shyamalan’s Proposed Bruce Willis Movie Is About!!
I am – Hercules!!
According to Deadline Hollywood, the proposed M. Night Shyamalan movie to which Bruce Willis, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bradley Cooper are attached has this plotline:
Bradley Cooper would play a father on a desperate search for his missing child. It might stray into Taken terrain, but the father taps into some supernatural powers to aid the search.
The same piece indicates Universal has shown the most interest in the project, which Shyamalan ("The Last Airbender") would write and direct.
Sounds good to me! I’m all charged up for more good Willis movies after seeing him pound bad guys in that new “Red” trailer.

Sounds lame...
-
sounds pretty good.
-
Dude hasn't made a good movie yet.
-
A little dissapointed to find out it was a comedy. The premise description had mr thinking something grittier. Oh well. And how can anyone still get excited about a Shylaman project?
-
I wonder if he's got one more great movie in him? On the bloody, sweary, greatness level of Last Boy Scout.
-
This doesn't sound like an Unbreakable sequel to me. Fuck...

How on earth can you get "Sounds good to me!" out of two vague s
by Fleet
Sounds completely generic and tired to me!
-
In theory, this could still be an UNBREAKABLE sequel, but if that's not mentioned upfront, then probably not. <br> <br> ...unless that's the twist this time - you don't realize until later that this was the same character using his super powers to solve the case as a "hero for hire" or whatnot. <br> <br> Not holding my breath, though.
-
TWIST - The kid never existed. He's a mental patient.
-
About as good as the odds of Super 8 being the Cloverfield prequel. 50/50
-
You heard it here first.
-
I don't know if he uses supernatural powers to get revenge, but Horns by Joe Hill (which is a great book) is about a guy who wakes up with horns and has supernatural powers and kinda goes after the guy who killed his girlfriend. I'm guessing there will be a lot of people talking in an intense, whisper voice. Is Night going to play the guy who kidnapped the kid? And will it turn out the kid is really Jesus? And we'll find out that Bradley Cooper is a robot?
-
Unbreakable 2!!! Why not?!? Bruce Willis is a 'supernatural power' what with his unbreakable qualities.<br>I'd dig on an Unbreakable sequel!!!
-
I am pretty sure his last two movies did not have a twist. shut the fuck up. god damn.
-
Bradley Cooper is a kiddy fiddler and the "son" is a boy he kidnapped some years previously. Final shot is him with the kid over his shoulder, walking away from the burning remains of his successful rescue, licking his lips. Remember I called it.
-
My gawd will he stop fucking around and make the bloody sequel already:)
-
I've only ever seen fleeting glimpses of Bruce Willis ever even TRYING to act, and I'm pretty sure that what I saw was just a happy accident. He just movie-stars through his movies and that's all. If I thought he actually cared about what he was doing on screen then I might too. But don't get me wrong, he's not alone in his lack of giving a crap about how he's being received on screen. Yeah that's right, I'm lookin' at you Harvey Keitel, Harrison Ford, Bill Paxton, Ben Affleck and the rest of your ilk. Kaw-Liga the wooden cigar store Indian has more range of emotion than you.
-
This sounds like that it could be a strong enough story if handled properly without resorting to wishy washy supernatural powers. Maybe its just me jumping the gun but if you keep it simple and do it right I think this kind of story could have more emotional weight than if you get all strange with it. I think there is a danger that the strangeness might detract from the emotional heaviness of it. Anyway just my early thoughts on this. Hopefully its constructive to a degree.
-
how about him having to make some sort of pact with the devil in order to get the supernatural powers needed to save his son and then we find out at the end it was orchestrated by the devil anyway and he had no choice or his choice wasn't a choice or some suchness. eh its an idea.
-
So the twist is he turns out to be an actor, the real Bradly Cooper, and at the end we are left wondering why on Earth he would settle for Renée Zellweger
-
Evidently Xen11 likes his movies to star no-talent hacks. Remind me to send you a copy of the video I shot of your mom and I making you a brand new baby brother. ;-)
-
...it was all a bad dream brought on by Brucie eating too much cheese before beddy-byes. Anyone else tired of Shyamalan writing, directing and starring in his own self-indulgent tripe?
-
How this idea for a movie sound? "A man saunters into a ghetto Walmart. He uses his super powers to make all black people disappear. Jessie Jackson is zapped back to Earth via a flying saucer. Shows up at ghetto Walmart and takes picture of herpes infested cock in a $3 photo booth. Shoots a fat, greasy, salty load on the screen and uses his puckered anus to leave a hershey kiss on the seat." What do you guys think?
-
I really hope it is, Unbreakable is Shyamalan's greatest work, and it needs a sequel!

The TWIST: the child is the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
by JackPumpkinhead
And it's actually the father who has been the target all along. Dum dum dum dum dum! (Then he's saved by a superhero who came to save the Earth, is the greatest genius and Most Supreme Uberhuman who has ever existed - and happens to have dark skin, a moronic crooked smile... and speaks like Apu.)

Sounds like Unbreakable 2..
by OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW
And that's the surprise ending. Undercover sequel.
-
Not this time M. Night. I'll go see it if it gets good reviews, but no way I am getting all jazzed up for another one till you deliver again.
-
I'll definitely grab the torrent of this.
-
This guy's a dick. Period. He needs to go back to India and become a yoga instructor or something. Whatever. Just STOP making movies, you chode!
-
.. how long the game of 'guess the twist' would take to start. I'll guess the twist is that despite all sorts of clues, there is no twist. Sort of a 360 degree twist, if you like.
-
If Bradley Cooper's character is trying to get supernatural help, maybe it's SIXTH SENSE 2 and he gets dead Willis to help track his kid down. They could get Jeremy Iron's to come in and be the mental patient who killed him in the original movie's brother or even better the OG Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber!! AND Sam Jackson would be in it as the comedic action buddy. "Not even GOD knows what your doing!" "MCCLAINE!!!!!!"
-
It sounds like a very cool idea. M. Night is one of the best movie-makers of the decade. Accept it and get over it haters.
-
A dysfunctional family. Check.<p>Confronts some element of the unknown/supernatural. Check.<p>With a shameless, forced and incongruous cameo. Check.<p>Leading to the twist. Check.<p>Dear M, it worked a couple times so far, but it's pretty busted by now.
-
Demand more originality!!!!
-
The missing kid is actually dead who doesn't know it who needs to complete his journey to heaven. So here bruce sees dead people. Another possibility is that it's Bruces son and he is a staunch anti religion or anti supernatural type who only believes in science. To save or find the kid a yoda or whoopie Goldberg type gets him to unlearn what he has learned. Another thought is that they are all dead and Bruce lost the soul of the kid before they all goto heaven he has to find the kid but the kid is prisoner by villain who killed them all. Last one is straight forward die hard meets unbreakable 2 meets taken the way only Bruce can do it. 10% humor 90% kick your ass!!! Oo rah!!
-
Mariusz YOU are a fucking douchebag. What the hell does it matter where Shyamalan came from. He's earned the US economy millions. How much have you given the economy of your country? You're probably an unemployed loser living on welfare. Fucking putz.
-
Didn't Shyamalan have a "guy solves crimes with ouija board" concept? I'm betting it's a follow-up to The Sixth Sense, with Willis playing Malcolm again.
-
Maybe this is that film.
-
I don't care about this movie, and I don't want it. Nobody asked for this sure to be flop!!! Give us "Unbreakable 2"
-
I can't believe I watched his last three films, even The Happening. I'll think about seeing one of his films if The Last Airbender gets decent reviews. If not, then count me out.
-
M. Night was born in India, spent two weeks there, and then the rest of his life in the USA. But I'm so glad you are welcoming to legal immigrants to this country. Douche nozzle.

NOT READING ARTICLE NOT INTERESTED BURNOUT LOSER WASTE OF SPACE

At Willis' age don't you mean he's looking for his grandson?

-
Bradley Cooper's character has his son kidnapped by some real bad guys and enlists the aid of David Dunn to get him back. If this is not Shamalan's idea right now, it should be!
-
Bradley Cooper has gone forward in time, and his kid is actually Bruce Willis!
-
I still think Shymalan has massive ability. I want him to pull through and get back to his Sixth Sense/Unbreakable/Signs groove. The Village was just OK to me. Never saw Lady in the Water. Had to turn off The Happening it was so bad.
-
Torrent FTW. Ha.
-
His best effort yet.
-
And now Cooper has to to team up with plant life who are angry about all the crop circles. Mark Wahlberg is now a ghost hunter trying ao avenge his crazy brothers murder suicide. In the opening scene he's interregating a drug addicted Osment who is now working in a gay brothel. He must now track down a special tin foil helmet that's located in a secret village that time forgot. He and Cooper and Willis all team up after a feocious attack by grass dogs and realize that there not really angry at each other. It's Shamaladingdongs blood that they want for writing such rubbish. In a final twist they walk off set and beat the shot out of M.
-
As the talkbackers find twist after twist in this complex yet at the surface simple news item. I thought it was Unbreakable 2 until someone mentioned the ouija board. Hmmm...

Mr. Night: I think people should masturbate in private. I'm all for masturbation; I do it all the time. But when I masturbate I don't sell tickets for people to come and watch. That would be obscene.
-
have a go at that topic M
-
Come on!! Come on!! Why cant we have Unbreakable 2? Or at leat the twist ending should be: Damn I am David Dunn now I remember (then Matrix style Fly scene ending) FUCK YEAH!!
-
It's called The Sixth Sensation
-
Hmmm...
-
a little tame don't you think?
-
movie ever made. James Woods is Owlman. Wonderwoman does everything to superwoman except ram in the dildo after she submits. It's epic in ways we'll NEVER see live action... apparently. I mean we haven't seen anything approaching this live action. And how come these cartoon movies don't have to tell all the fuckn origin of every character? They assume you know who superman and wonderwoman are and get right to the action.
-
Tight on Bruce. <P> Slowly pull out so we SEE Bruce and the doorknob. <P> Slowly TIGHT on Bruce. <P> Slowly CUT to doorknob CU. <P> Beat. <P> Another long and slow boring Beat. <p> Slowly doorknob turns. <P> CUT back to Bruce, slowly, slowly. <P> REPEAT beyond any dramatic utility.
-
what a brilliant, amazing, and emotional experience watching Sixth Sense in the theatre for the first time without knowing the twist. The awesome performances from Osment, Willis, and Colette, the mood, the pace. This, Unbreakable and 12 Monkeys were Willis' best films. I think this is a great idea for MNS, getting back to intimate stories about pain and loss.
-
typical Shamalama crap, i fucking hate his movies.
-
Was so stoked about this movie being about that when I read the headline. Bruce would have been perfect.
-
The Airbender and his entire world are little people who live in your garage.
-
With any luck, Shyamalan will squeeze out another turd that will effectively flush Cooper's career down the crapper.
-
...shock, twist, surprise ending. Just use these solid actors to tell a solid story and I'll be there.

What bit of the zeitgeist is left for M.Night explore?
by Royston Lodge
Ghosts? Done.<p> Superheroes? Done.<p> Aliens and Crop Circles? Done.<p> Neo-Puritans? Done.<p> Fairy Tales? Done.<p> Anime? Done.<p> What's left for him to "reinvent"?
-
...because when he does, he'll realize he's in a "place he made so they could meet again" and then they can "let go". Oh wait, that one's even too lame for Shyamalan... (And no, I myself will NEVER "let go" of my newfound Lost hate!)
-
I just don't trust Shyamalan anymore. He totally had me right up through Signs. I honestly don't understand why some people hate that film, I think it's brilliant. Well, aside from Shyamalan's crappy cameo of course.</p><p>But The Village just shit all over everyone. It was as if the screen turned into a giant sphincter and just erupted a tidal wave of diarhea all over the audience.</p><p>That mermaid movie was mostly shit as well. The spiky wolf things were kinda cool I suppose.</p><p>But then The Happening happened all over us and I just needed a fucking shower. As soon as people start getting chased by ritter fans, you have officially lost all creativity.</p><p>This just sounds like Cop Out all over again. Bruce doing the same shit others have done, with someone who doesn't know what the fuck they are doing. Bruce just needs to call him up and say "Shut the fuck up Shyamalan, you're out of your element."
-
Plot holes you can drive a truck through, yes, but I still thought it was a pretty gripping thriller right up until the last 5 minutes.<p> And I really, really liked Lady in the Water. So there.<p> I never saw The Happening, due to the negative reviews.
-
Which admittedly is pretty retarded. That would be like us trying to take over a planet that frequently rained sulfuric acid without even bothering to wear clothes!
-
I just wish he would have actually made the film advertised in the trailer! That looked fucking amazing! But no, he decided to go the "completely retarded horseshit" route instead.
-
If you ask me Keitel was completely miscast in that role, he should have at BEST been cast as a walk-on or some other type of background character. THAT role (Sport) was the first time it actually dawned on me that he is/was truly a piss-poor actor. It was also the firs time I realized that someone could actually be miscast in a movie. All of the other major players in that film were aces, and I say that full well KNOWING that Cybill Shepherd is in that movie too, but Keitel almost ruined the whole damn thing single handedly. Do yourself a favor and re-watch every scene he's in and really pay attention and I think that if you're honest with yourself, and if you have any brains at all, you'll re-think your position. TROLL OUT~
-
It's Jawdropping!<p> <p>Mark Wahlberg get's into an acting competition with a pot plant and loses. You simply can't get any better than that.
-
The Movie audience are all dead from boredom.
-
smart move on your part in avoiding the Happening. i really expected a twist at the end to make up for the other 90 minutes or so but it never came.
-
... wasn't meant as a illegal-immigrant-rightwing-Arizona-rhetoric, dumbasses. It was rather meant as a "go back to India and try your hand at Bollywood since you've managed to fuck everything you touch in Hollywood" invitation. I could give a shit about that asshole anyway. He could retire for all I care. I haven't seen anything of his since the bullshit Village. I was done with that dickhead back then. As for you two Shamashit ass lickers (RogueScribner & BP_drills_america_a_new_asshole) simply go dig your faces further into his ass and keep enjoying the shit he puts out. Simple as that, chodes.

Mr Shayamalan! Bravo, now go shoot it so I can avoid it!

a little too early with Airbender. If he thinks a studio is just gonna give him $100M for his half-hearted ideas anymore, he's mistaken.
