There’s a new clip for the M. Night Shyamalan-produced, Dowdle Brothers-directed film, Devil over at Yahoo! Movies. Set in an office building, the film follows five strangers who become
trapped in an elevator and, after several terrifying and inexplicable
events occur, begin to turn against each other as they come to suspect
that one of them is, in fact, the Devil. One might wonder if the Devil, who’s probably bored as hell (heh) of shitting all over the Ten Commandments, is looking for some new laws to defile. The Bill of Rights seems like a good target, as the poor schmuck in the video finds out. Afterwards, I’m sure he’ll get around to killing everybody and deep frying their souls for a few eternities or so.
Chris Messina, Geoffrey Arend, Logan Marshall-Green, Bojana Novakovic, Jenny O’Hara, Bokeem Woodbine and Jacob Vargas star. Devil opens on September 17th.

When I saw Inception in theaters (both times) and this trailer came up, every one watched with interest — right until M. Night's name came fading dramatically onto the screen. Each time, every one groaned/laughed/cursed in outrage. I've been told by friends in both Florida and Virginia that the same experience was had. This could be a good movie (doesn't look like it as of yet), but I have a feeling it is doomed just via association with the Wunderkind-turned-joke.
The same thing happened in Toronto. I didn't know the M effect was so widespread.
Same thing in Wisconsin.
Same thing happens at home when he walks in the door
Same thing happens when I whip it out to roger Mrs. M Night.
same thing happened in london..
"Whata twist!?" Thank you, Robot Chicken.
Uhhhh. Alright.
I'll be damned. The cringe was universal. Wow!
Caught the trailer before Piranha here in Victoria, BC and I was surprised by the exact same reaction – no one in that theatre had desire to see that film once M's name came up. Me included.
It got an even bigger groan than Michael Cera's face in the Scott Pilgrim trailer here.
I agree whole-heartedly that this clip is terrible and that this film will be a trainwreck. That said — and maybe it’s just the fact that I was forced to work this entire holiday weekend writing a goddamned brief and I’m crabby as all hell and I need to nitpick a little bit — but nothing here suggests that the Fourth Amendment is involved. The Fourth Amendment protects against only government police action, and there was nothing in the clip to suggest that police officers were trying to search the squirrelly looking guy. (I’m assuming that the man in the uniform is NOT a police officer, but merely a private security guard. If I'm wrong, well, then forget what I said.) Just saying.
Sorry. I didn’t mean to turn this into AICN. I need to fix myself another gin.
M. Night's name just got a ton of laughs here in LA.
Ahh yes the latest in a long line of whipping dogs the lemmings latch onto. Its fun to pile on right sheeple?
