Hey folks, Harry here... is it true? I don't know, but it's a helluva delicious rumor. Word has it that last week, under a veil of secrecy... M. Night gathered together his main actors for THE VILLAGE and shot a new ending for the film. --- Now this is where it gets interesting. M. Night knows that his scripts - no matter how secret he tries to keep them... that the EVIL Moriarty has him marked for discovery. That the internet loves to spoil the endings of his films. For the record - That is not my tact. I feel it is the worst thing ANYBODY could do, and wanted to burn Reuters to the ground for doing an end of OLDBOY reveal in a "General News Roundup Article"! Bastards! So here's the thing. Television has been playing with the last minute secret shoot where they shoot the "Real Ending" -- and from the beginning, Moriarty has claimed that the ending to THE VILLAGE was so awful that he couldn't believe that M. Night was possibly serious about that ending. That it was literally the worst thing imaginable. I don't know what it was, because I don't read spoiler M. Night articles... but maybe... maybe that ending was what one in entertainment refers to as elaborate misdirection. Maybe, just maybe we readers should put a little faith in M. Night. Afterall... at least for me, he's made 3 fantastic genre films in a row... and for my theater dollar, he's a helluva showman... especially if he ever frickin' shoots his sequels to UNBREAKABLE! Ahem. Here ya go...
Hey Harry
I'm a daily reader, first time emailer. I don't know if this is news to you guys, but I thought I would pass it on since it did make yesterday's paper, that must make it official.
Seems last week, Night brought William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, Bryce Howard, and Joquin Phoenix back to good old Philadelphia for a 3 day shoot to film a new ending.
Of course, official spokespeople are denying that, saying it was just a re working of some scenes. But, people involved in this are indeed saying he filmed a new ending.
Maybe he read the ghastly reactions on your site if that was his original ending and felt compelled to re work it.
Well, good luck with all your projects.
