Chilling New Trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening
May 2, 2008

At this point leading into the summer, M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening doesn't have much buzz. But all that is about to change. A very chilling new trailer has launched for the film and it definitely ramps up the excitement for Shyamalan's next. I first saw this new trailer show in front of Iron Man last night and all the sound effects, including the dead bodies and banging on the walls, are that much more heart-pounding in the theater than here online. You really need to give this a chance - Shyamalan is really going to scare the crap out of us this time, like he normally does, but with a twist (of course). I'm pretty sure Fox made a smart decision releasing this during the summer - it's going to be a very refreshing thriller compared to comedic and action flicks that otherwise crowd the next few months.
I really love both Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel - I think the cast in in this is definitely one of the stronger areas, but that is usually the case with Shyamalan's movies. What are your thoughts on this latest trailer?
Watch the new trailer for The Happening:
The Happening is both written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, of Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village and Lady in the Water previously. The movie will arrive in theaters everywhere on June 13th this summer. The current poster for The Happening is featured below.

Chilling? That was the most unexciting thing I've seen so far this year by far

I love it! I can't wait for this… Last night on TV, saw the first TV spots and I was so excited. I still like the first trailer more, but this one is still excellent and revs up my excitement.

I can't wait for this movie! I saw the first trailer a while back on Apple's website and I'm really intrigued! Great suspense…
(Btw keep up the great work FirstShowing - I stumbled on this site a few weeks back and have checked it daily since! This is my first time posting - and hopefully not the last!)

I can't wait for this movie, but two things…the writing in the post smacks of a copywriter again…do you ever just say things and leave them…you used about sixteen different adjectives to describe this tense and terrific and sheer terror and it's going to ramp up the excitement…man…just post and forget the press releases they ask you to post.
Secondly…what the hell is banging on the wall? Have the trees come to life?

They showed this last night at the Iron Man premeire showing. The audience mostly just laughed. I was just unintrigued. But I'll most certainly go see it. Some films just can't be reduced down to an interesting trailer.

This trailer didn't excite me as much as the others have, been I know this is going to be great and can't wait to see it!!

The trailer in front of "Iron Man" was pretty eerie. This has peaked my interest level. Even Mark Wahlberg looks genuinely freaked out!

Spoiler: the bees are banging on the wall.
Nah I'm interested in what the twist will be this time.

I was very surprised to see it have an R rating. I was not that excited for this movie a few months ago, but after seeing the rating, i am intrigued. Pretty good trailer too.

okay…
i hated signs, and this seems like its going to be about aliens. that said, i'll give it chance, but for me, this is m. night's last chance…

Definitley the weakest trailer in front of IRON MAN. I think that the summer release and R Rating will kill it though.
However, THE LOVE GURU trailer actually was A LOT better than the first one. Pleasantly surprised with that.

Okay. Here's the thing. I WOULD be excited for this movie had I not come across the original script for this and, let me tell you, the twist is completely stupid. If you're curious as to what it is, look up The Green Effect (the original title). The draft was leaked months ago. I know, revisions have probably been made since then, but I'm doubtful they're going to alter the ending.

The only way this would be cool is if Earth was invaded…
BY THE FUNK.
THAT would make me really say- "Wha's Happening!!!"

The whole "Shyamalan" thing is sooo over. He had one hit movie and that's it.

what's wrong with this movie? i dont even know what the heck their running from… they should've posted it in and tell theirs sickness, mutation or aliens WHAT'S GOING ON….

I want to believe. Oh wait…
But seriously, that captures how I feel about this movie. Shyamalan's movies are hit or miss with me. I loved The Sixth Sense and Signs but I didn't like the rest and I HATED Lady in the Water.
I hope this movie is good. I will give him one more chance in the theater. If it sucks, Shyamalan will be reduced to Netflix.

I think this is going to be a great movie.
The bees really are dissapearing and the Aztec calendar nds in 2012….
Hopefully Shyamalans movie isnt what will really happen in the future but it definantly opens my eyes…..

Yes, gave somewhat quite of a chill there. The right music, tension and cinematic shots get the heart pumping in the trailer. Let's hope it fulfills in the actual film. And who is the idiot who actually asked "what are they scared of / running from?"? That's why you go see the movie, stupid.

i like the points that he makes but i swear if this movie has another ending like The Village he needs to be disbared from making anym ore movies

I have been waiting a long time to see this movie. I just love apocalyptic style films! I just hope it doesn't disappoint like his last few films.
