Manoj Nelliyattu, "M. Night" Shyamalan has had one of Hollywood's most interesting stories that could well have come from one of his scripts. After two independent movies which amounted to little success, Shyamalan set the world afire with 1999's The Sixth Sense, which took critics off guard, gathering six Academy Award nominations and rolling to an almost $700 million box office take, making it the most successful horror film all the way until 2017, when It finally knocked it off. But after a financial and critical success such as that, where do you go from there? Join myself, Matt, and the returning Michael Guarnieri as we take the journey to answering that question, which we begin with The Sixth Sense and will eventually lead to Shyamalan's new film Old, scheduled for release this July.After The Visit proved to be a success, it would seem M Night Shyamalan was once again in charge and control of his career. But surprisingly, that wasn't the case. In order to do this pseudo sequel to Unbreakable, Shyamalan had to put up $9 million of his own money, as well as go to Disney himself to get the rights. The result is the James McAvoy and Ana-Taylor Joy starring Split. The gamble paid off, as it proved to be among his most critically and commercially successful film of his career.Join Mike, Matt, and myself as we dive into the multi faceted 2017 thriller Split Split (2016) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10) CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW!Subscribe to Binge Cast on iTunes
