According to AP reports, Sci Fi Channel has had a falling out with acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan and will soon air a documentary-turned-expose about the man entitled "The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan."

Basically, the two parties had agreed to film a documentary on Shyamalan, with the director giving the documentarians unlimited access to his life. When the network started asking questions from friends and colleagues not on Shyamalan's sanctioned list of interviewees, the director cooled to the doc and eventually quit the project on camera. The doc makers did not like this one bit and now the once collaborative doc is being touted as revealing some hidden secret about the man. One network rep. implies, by my understanding of his comments, that they the network would re-work the doc if the filmmaker would grant them one more interview. No matter what the "buried secret" might be, no matter how crushing Shyamalan's quitting was to the project, this kind of strong arm tactic is dirty pool if you ask me. Then again, it's most probably all just hype for The Village and will end in group hugs and a trip to the bank.
