 Shyamalan to develop a television series
Quote: M. Night Shyamalan is headed to a television near you. According to The Hollywood Reporter, SyFy has picked up Shyamalan's scripted series "Proof" on a put-pilot commitment.
"Proof" centers on the orphaned son of billionaire parents who, following their death, offers a reward to anyone who can provide proof of life after death.
Marti Noxon, whose sci-fi credits includes writing and producing "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (as well as producing other hit shows like "Glee," "Mad Men," and "Grey's Anatomy") will join Shyamalan as co-writer and co-executive producer. Ashwin Rajan, who has worked with Shyamalan on "Devil" and "After Earth," will also executive produce, while Shyamalan directs.
Shyamalan's next movie, "After Earth" starring Will and Jaden Smith, is in post-production, leaving the director free to start work on "Proof," though no filming or premiere dates have been set by the cable network. "Proof" would join SyFy's existing shows, "Total Blackout" and "Lost Girl," which were recently renewed for additional seasons.
"Proof" marks Shyamalan's first foray into the world of television. http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/08/03/m- ... show-syfy/

 Re: Shyamalan to develop a television series
It might be interesting.  I'm still rooting for Shyamalan. I love The Sixth Sense, Signs, and particularly The Village. Marti Noxon is a decent writer. She penned several episodes of Buffy, as well as last year's highly entertaining Fright Night.

 Re: Shyamalan to develop a television series
I don't discount Shyamalan at all. I'm a fan of most of his work, even The Happening. He takes risks that don't pay off for everyone, but I admire him being ballsy, even if it comes with arrogance.
Unfortunately it's on SyFy.
