These days, director M. Night Shyamalan is a man who is unable to land a big-budget movie, so he is looking to TV shows. Apparently, the director is hoping to create a TV show based on the film Unbreakable.
For those who are unaware, Unbreakable was one of M. Night Shyamalan's hit movies back when he was an excellent director. Now, he would love to turn it into a TV show and with good reason because the film is based on a comic series of the same name.
We're in a world where superhero movies are trending and making billions at the box office, so it makes sense for Shyamalan to make moves to do something big with Unbreakable.
From what we can understand, he wants to create a new series around different media; he believes this could make for a very interesting project.
"Could you do a six-episode Unbreakable series on Netflix or HBO? Yeah! That's cool. I even had an idea of doing a story that goes in one form, and a second part that's in another form, and a third one's in a different form. You never do the same form," Shyamalan told IGN. "It would be like, movie, then, let's say, cable, to TV, whatever, and then a play; it goes straight online, and it finishes like that. It's in four different forms, and it never goes back to the old one. It could be kind of cool."
We don't have much faith in Shyamalan anymore following the disaster that was After Earth. However, he could rebound on the small screen and hopefully return to the big screen in a big way.
It would take a lot of work for this director to rise from the ashes, but it is very much a possibility, and Unbreakable could be the thing that helps him stand up again.
If his new series Wayward Pines should take off, then we should look out for Unbreakable in the near future, no doubt.
