He wrote the screenplay, but based entirely on something that already existed.

Completely different from writing something original where you can do anything you want.

IMDB says he wrote it; I don’t worry about that much, though. I just don’t really like many of his movies…Sixth Sense is the only decent one IMO. I’m still hopeful, though, just not entirely convinced.

Its not an M. Night movie.

He didnt write it, he is just directing. And the Shamhammer has more hits than misses. His only fault was “the twist” that everyone expected in every movie he did, and now that he gets away from it, everyone is bagging on him for it?

How about we wait to see the movie before cursing it for being “an M Night movie” when we have never seen him do something he didnt write.

If this movie just focuses on the first season of the cartoon — and doesn’t try to do the entire story, or turn it into a pared-down entire-story-in-one-go movie — I’ll have a lot of faith going into seeing the production. Otherwise, it will fail to live up to the epic-ness of the brilliant cartoons, and this story should be epic.
