Yes, M. Night Shamylan is talented and has made some decent films....but what the fuck is this? He has a company giving him $60 million, full control and telling him to go off and make whatever he wants with it--and he rejects it?! Because they are not worshipping the ground he walks on??! Fuck that! I had respect for this man, but now that is lost. So the executives don't believe in you 100%--welcome to the real world! The real world where major studios don't give you a dumptruck of cash, full creative control and a hundred million dollar marketing campaign. And he is STILL getting that! They believe in him enough to still give him $60 million! What the fuck does he want? That makes him cry? Are you kidding me? This is the most self-serving crap that has ever been written. People thought Francis Coppola was a megalowmaniac but was never half this wimpy--he wouldnt care whether the studio suported him and if they didnt give him the money then he just paid for it himself, as in when he made Apocalypse Now and mortgaged his house for it.

This is the most digusting, ball-less, self-serving, cry-baby-ish display i have ever seen from a director. Sorry buddy, when you are a commerical director you have to take it from the studios and bless every act of creative control you get because it is a gift from them. Dont' like it? Talk to Ridley Scott. The man can't even count the number of films of his that have been cancelled or re-cut but he never wrote a book blasting a studio and never broke down and cried because the studio gave him $60 million but didn't kiss his ass as well. Jesus christ.
