| Ira talks with film writer and director M. Night Shyamalan about his upcoming film 'The Happening,' set to premiere next week. Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, and John Leguizamo appear in the R-rated movie, set to hit theaters on Friday the 13th. Though Shyamalan hasn't given many details about the spooky thriller, it's said to be the story of people trying to save themselves from a worldwide environmental catastrophe. We'll talk about the intersection between real-world environmental issues and Shyamalan's fantasy world. |
