| | |  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.

Wow. I never even thought that was possible.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

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.
