    He probably wants to do a sequel to flesh out the part of the drug dealer, played by the inimitable M. Night Shyamalan.

    Speakin' of The Happening, I finally watched it.

    Dear God. Dear everlovin' GOD.


    But, if you watch it and imagine that the Three Stooges are in it, it's Comedy Gold.

    Glad I'm not the only one who sees the value in Unbreakable. Lots of vitriol directed towards it when it came out because "the twist" wasn't bid enough or something.


    Personally, more than anything I love the core idea that mythic hero epics (and later comic books) might be descended from the exploits of real exceptional humans.


    Rather than a sequel about the Jackson and Willis pair, I'd like to see something set in the same universe with another character. The genius of Unbreakable was that Willis played someone who was truly super-human, but subtly so. Comic books (and the epics before them) are exaggerations, so the idea of someone who's sort of "a little bit" stronger, faster, or smarter, appeals to me.

    @MikeHerbst: There is a lot of promise for a sequel to this. It would be difficult to figure out where to take it.


    Seriously, what's the story?

    Why would we need a sequel to The Sixth Sense?
