Obviously, we don't have to "ask again later" for a potential project based on the children's toy to tell the truth The Magic 8 Ball, because M. Night Shyamalan is directed by the upcoming Magic 8 Ball TV show.

In Instagram's postChyamalan, whose great other TV, Apple's "servant" ended in 2023, posted a photo of the titular toy at the top of the Magic 8 -ball pilot script and written by Brad Falcuk. For the uninitiated, Falcuk is best known as a honorary associate of Ryan Murphy who worked on shows such as "Gle", "American Horror Story", "Posti" and "Creek Queens".

"I've been working on this for a few years ... Who's?" In his position, Chyamalan asked him with the hashtags "highlighted" and "Magic8ball". Now, I know what you are thinking, especially if you watched the comedy that Emmy's "Studio" won this year: Isn't this creatively bankrupt, even by Hollywood standards? On the one hand, that is, Although the Magic 8 ball was floated in 2019 under the umbrella of Blumhouse Productions (There was no more a word about it, even though Greta Gervig's "Barbie" movie became quite well -faced with an unexpected critical darling despite being based on a toy. On the other hand, the idea of ​​the Magic 8 ball is deep and extremely silly, and for that the correct reasonI think my colleague Fili Guy Shyamalan is the perfect person who has rushed him.

If you need evidence that the Magic 8 ball TV can be fun if it is directed by someone as a clever as M. Night Chyamalan, don't look away from "Trap", the 2024-related film-related film, who basically asked: "What if the" silence of the lambs "happened on the" Eras "tour of Taylor Swift?" (That's not an assumption on my part; Shijalan said this is his concept for the movieWhat rocks.) There is no doubt that "Trap" is Shyamalan's funniest movie to date. Although the author certainly exposes a dark sense of humor during his body at work, "Trap" is often openly funny, especially since Josh Hartnet is So Incredibly good as the central character of the film (and the main villain) Cooper Abbott.

Under the careful direction of Shyamalan, Hartnet wears Cooper, firefighter and dad who also Just so happens To be a serial killer in Philadelphia, called the "butcher", entirely in life-and because we learn so early in the film that Cooper and the butcher are the same, the audience should go together for driving with him as he tries to avoid the authorities and at the same time the shepherd Riley. (Pop -starvar is, fun, played by the daughter of Shyamalan, Saleka Night.) To be called Cooper Shifi is a mass understatement, and Shiamalan really has Hartnet Lean all up to his wonder, giving the film a pleasantly increased feeling that is hysterically funny And Incredibly disturbing. Shyamalan is a director of one of the kind, who conveys the movies like "Trap", so forgive me that I was saying that I was strangely excited to see where to take this project "Magic 8 ball".

Again, if you, like me and many other people, watched and enjoyed the "studio", which contains a whole story of a movie with a terrible Kool-Aid sound, it all sounds and you feel a little weird and even a kind of malicious. Is all this already Hollywood? Instead of just restarting things with "Youth" slap before the name of the character like "Young Sheldon", do the directors just dig through the boxes of their old toys and films for greenery and TV shows based on whatever they watch? To some extent, yes, they are Thus, especially after a real crazy and quite wonderful success of Barbie in 2023. People had their own doubts, but after Greta Gervig produced a hearty spectacle in the center of Barbie's trip (Margot Robbie) of self -realization and poorly imagined flirting of Ken (Ryan Gosling) with patriarchy, Barbie made over a billion dollars And Take the best nomination for the academy awards. Toy movies can Work if an interesting director is behind them, obviously. (The A24 "Barney" with Daniel Kaluuja on his creative team also comes to mind here - fingers crossed for it.)

I'm from two minds for this. On the one hand, if we use the fictional movie "Cole-help" as an example, all this feels strange and bad. But I'm going to ask my optimistic hat in just one second, though. The Else Hand, these probably terrible concepts are handed over to directors who download large swings and refuse to play it safely; Tell what you want for M. Night Shyamalan, but that man has Never He played it safely, for the better ("inextricably") and for worse ("event"). Maybe this Magic 8 ball series will be terrible. Maybe it will be a fun divert. We can expect at least one thing, yet: another big swing of a pleasantly distorted mind of Shyamalan.
