What’s ‘Happening,’ yaar?

Here’s the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening. I see bored people:

The Happening is a… thriller in which a family must survive a global environmental crisis. Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel star as an estranged couple who must escape this apocalyptic epidemic. [Link]

The New Yorker and the NYT discuss the phenomenon of disappearing bees.

    the real story is elsewhere

    Last year, in addition to producing The Namesake, about the son of Indian immigrants struggling for acceptance in New York, Mr. Screwvala co-produced the Chris Rock comedy I Think I Love My Wife. Now he’s putting up half the financing for The Happening, a thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by M. Night Shyamalan about a family fleeing an environmental disaster. Smelling potential, Disney spent $204-million last month to raise its stake in UTV to 32.1 per cent from 13.7 per cent. With that support and other local and international financing, UTV plans to release 20 movies in 2008.

    follow the money machang, as any self-respecting right wing slimeball does [i still havent gotten over that love bite]. :-)

    I hope there are zombies. That would make it ok.

    Also, can someone tell Marky Mark that he cannot play someone who’s supposed to sound halfway intelligent?

    Well, Keanu Reeves didn’t have dates, so they had to go with him.

    A bit of trivia, it was Mark Wahlberg’s brother who played the pivotal character at the beginning of “The Sixth Sense”. Though I think Night has jumped the shark. Am definitely skipping this one. “I am Legend” the film was also crap. Did the film makers actually read the original book ?
