However, the background and independence of wunder-kind writer-director M. Night Shyamalan gave The Sixth Sense a distinctive indie stature
Quote:
Shyamalan was a brash NYU film school grad who signed a three-picture deal with Miramax in 1995 and battled Harvey Weinstein on his first feature, Wide Awake
rbk, you are wrong yet again.
wroooooooooooooooooooooong
wrong, wrong, wrooooooong!
Wide Awake was a $6m budget Miramax film which Shyamalan directed. Before directing The Sixth Sense. TSS was decidedly not the first film that Shyamalan directed. It was the third film he directed if you go by his
wiki filmography or his
IMDB page. People already knew who he was, to the point that Miramax gave him a $6m budget and the director's chair for Wide Awake.
Here's a bonus one for you:

wrong again! wroooooooooooooong!
In fact, if you
look at the part of Disney Wars that discusses this, it specifically states:
Quote:
The next day Rifkind called Vogel. Willis wanted to play the role of Malcolm Crowe, the child psychologist. "The script is good, but Night's not directing," he said.
Vogel realized the star treatment was starting. "He has a pay-and-play commitment," Vogel explained.
If you still think that Rifkind unilaterally made the decision to try and cut Shyamalan, you are even more lolrbk than I thought! He was just the messenger, as your own source (and only source you've "cited") shows. Willis was infamous for throwing his weight around like this, and doing so was the entire reason Broadway Brawler went sideways in the first place.
I could keep going, but you are literally like a dog with a bone when stuff like this, and you just can't ever let something go, no matter how wrong you are. I originally cited five different sources and provided direct links to them, and your only source has been "I read Disney Wars once and think I remember part of it" which I then directly cited to show you how you are wrong yet again.
I'm done with this because I know that no amount of directly quoted facts and citations will ever stop you from letting the bone go now that you've gone full rbk, but enjoy being wrong, I guess.
in summary:
lolrbk
