    Judging by the popularity of the film, I think it is safe to say you probably saw something like this coming. After about the 7th viewing :p, me and a friend, both film and crop circle fans, couldn't help but fall in love with Signs. We decided it would be pretty fun to make a Signs fanfilm in our spare time. So after about 2 weeks of script writing, I think I've come up with something that would make even M. Night proud :D. It takes place in the exact couple of days as Signs only is told from a different familys POV. Anyways, heres a teaser to chew on, My auctionwatch ran out so the best I can do is Angelfire, drag and drop, you know the deal:

    That would be really cool! I loved that movie. Only one concern: the sound in Signs was what really added to the suspense (aliens behind or to the right, sensed only by sound). Could you do the sound well? Anyway, good luck! I can't wait to see this one!

    I think WD's quote about not doing this film was extremely funny (if you've seen the movie).

    Looks pretty cool. If it really would 'Make M. Night proud', I'm looking forward to it.

    I like the idea of this. I would have suggested you shoot it in a very claustrophobic way to be loyal to Shyamalan's style, but Signs doesn't seem to have been done that way, only the last two.

    One thing I've noticed is that the editing is very to-the-point. The camera does not linger where it is not wanted, so to speak.

    And if you really want to be truthful to the ways of the M Night, cameo in your film!

    Good luck, and let us know when it's done.

    Exactly, there really isn't a single wasted shot, and I'm going to have to try my best at doing that.

    And if you really want to be truthful to the ways of the M Night, cameo in your film!
    Yep, I gave myself a cameo, but its not as important to the film as M. Night's was.

    Good luck, and let us know when it's done.

    Thanks, I will.

    And heres another teaser I was going to use, but figured I didn't like it as much.
