| | |  M. Night Shyamalan offered 'Philosopher's Stone'
M. Night Shyamalan has revealed, during interviews promoting his latest film Lady in the Water, that he was offered to direct ' Philosopher's Stone'. Quote:
"You know, that Harry Potter dance has gone on a long time," he told us. "The problem is that it is a living breathing thing now, all by itself. When it comes over to my camp, it needs to be kind of handed over, adoption papers and everything. That's a tricky move.
"I haven't met with J.K. [Rowling]," he continued. "The first one was offered to me, but that conflicted with 'Unbreakable,' which was unfortunate. I would definitely, but I think probably before that I would adapt a book. I've gotten close a few times to adapting books."
| Shyamalan's other works include The Village, Signs, Stuart Little and The Sixth Sense. | |

Well, I never knew.  And that's all I have to say. He should have accepted the offer, instead of going for the other film, you know.

It would be great if he directs Half-Blood Prince. He would be excellent in capturing the dark & moody atmosphere of the 6th book!!! | |

I love M. Night Shyamalan so I wouldn't mind if he directed. However, he would have to keep the characterization of the characters in tact or I would hate it. When it comes to tone and intensity, I think he could do a marvelous job. | |

I don't know much about his work, so I can't say whether the first film would have been better under him, but it sounds interesting-there's still a chance he'll do HBP perhaps. | |

I love his movies but I'm not sure if I think he would have done Harry Potter justice, interesting to think about though. | |
