| | |  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. | |

I'm glad he didn't take on Hp. His movies are so boring. Like The village. I hated that movie | |

He's good. But I don't think he is exactly right for the HP seriers. | |

Man! That would have made the movie SO much better. M. Night Shyamalan is such a good director.
Hide and Seek and Sixth Sense rocked hard!
He should do HBP! YESH! | |

That would've been interesting. If Shyamalan helmed PS/SS, it would definitely would've been darker. His material suits older audiences though, so he might do well directing some of the later Potter films. | |

It's hard to imagine how the movies woulda turned out if he had done them! As far as I know, Shyamalan directs dark, scary movies most of the time, doesn't he? Then again, he did Stuart Little... lol
I suppose we'll never know. It would have been interesting though. | |
