OH GOD IN HEAVEN, NOOOOOO!

Movie site ComingSoon.net has posted a new interview with the director of great [sic] thrillers such as The Sixth Sense, Signs, and more recently The Village. Now partnered with Warner Bros, Shyamalan was asked if he's been approached to direct one of the last two Potter films:
"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."
* Translation: they have to give me total creative control so I can shit all over the books and cram in a stupid "twist" ending.
That would be so horrible. M. Night Shyamalan is one of the top five biggest tools in Hollywood. "M. Night Shyamalan directs a Harry Potter film" would be a great joke but in reality? I'd jump off a building.
Goddamnit, Warner Brothers, pull your heads out of your asses and ask Terry Gilliam to do it already! It's not that difficult!
