M. Night Shyamalan Ghost-Wrote ‘She’s All That’

mnightAfter cinematic atrocities like The Village, The Happening, and The Last Airbender, writer-director M. Night Shyamalan became such a joke to the degree that his name on the trailer forDevil–for which he earned a story credit—got laughs from moviegoers across America.

After teasing he’d ghost-written a movie that year as well, he confesses: “I ghost-wrote the movie She’s All That.
