• M. Night is Happening

  Super-secretive thrill-monger M. Night Shyamalan is at it again. The writer-director is putting together his next movie, The Happening, a thriller about a man (Mark Wahlberg) who tries to save his family when a natural disaster threatens to end the world.

  John Leguizamo and Spencer Breslin (brother of Little Miss Sunshine cutie Abigail) have recently joined the cast.

  As anyone who watches Entourage knows, Shyamalan is notoriously hush-hush about his projects (neurotic paranoia might be a better description). Thus, not much else is known about the movie--other than it begins filming next month in Philadelphia (of course).

• What Julia Stiles really wants to do is direct

  Teen movie veteran Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance, 10 Things I Hate About You) has been doing everything within her power to expand her image.

  First, she signs on for a more serious bit part in the Bourne series, and now at the tender age of 26 she is trying her hand behind the camera.

  For her first piece, Stiles has written and directed Raving, a 20 minute film inspired by a short story that ran in Elle Magazine. It stars Zooey Deschanel and will premiere on the Sundance Channel on Monday, May 8.

  According to julia-stiles.com, Stiles says her short film will be about "how the seemingly simple act of getting dressed shapes one's identity."

  How very, very deep.
