M. Night Shyamalan Developing an Animated Comedy Called ELEVEN LITTLE INDIANS
M. Night Shyamalan is doing something completely unexpected and is developing an animated TV comedy series for Fox called Eleven Little Indians. He's developing the project with Family Guy writer/producer Alex Carter.
According to Variety, “Eleven Little Indians examines three branches of a large Indian family — one has achieved the American dream; another has just arrived in the U.S. wide-eyed; and the third has gone off the rails."
Shyamalan is mostly known for his dark horror thrillers with twists, but seeing him break out of that and do something completely different like this is cool. I've done my fair share of bashing Shyamalan over the years for his long run of shitty movies, but he completely surprised me with The Visit, which I really enjoyed, and his upcoming thriller, Split, looks pretty great as well.
It looks like Shyamalan has found his groove. Hopefully he can keep it up with his upcoming projects like his Labor of Love film and the Tales From the Crypt series he's working on.
This could end up being a fun series, and I'm curious to see how it turns out.
