I've always wondered how M. Night Shyamalan was able to follow up The Sixth Sense so quickly with Unbreakable. It was released only 15 months later, a crazy short span for a filmmaker who had just popped.

"For me, at 25, 26... He used his power, his clout, and just said, ‘I believe in this guy. I believe in this kid'... And that protection allowed me to have a really different and unique voice." pic.twitter.com/3KuwO19AZB
I told M. Night Shyamalan I’ve always thought THE VILLAGE was vastly underrated, and asked if he thinks it was hurt by audience expectations and people going into that movie at the time determined to figure out an inevitable twist.

“It’s my least seen film, and my most resonant film. [It] causes religion… People that are on their deathbeds watch it over and over… It’s religion to people. When the fans come up on that one, it's like cult-like." pic.twitter.com/xN4h377E0e
M. Night Shyamalan literally bet the farm to self-finance The Visit.

"I mortgaged the house… And it was scary, cause if it didn't work, honestly, I would've sold my house. And you guys have been writing stories of, ‘Oh, what happened when?’ And ‘Wow, what a disaster.’ pic.twitter.com/LpdjNZqC0w

"I have no interest in being safe. None. Come at me, come at me. And my movies can take care of themselves, and they should take care of themselves. They don't need to be defended by me at all." pic.twitter.com/F7XAYO2OwL
