Which is even more interesting because Shyamalan is very religious (the reason why he picked Whalberg is because he's a fundamentalist Christian).

With The Happening, one of the things that Shyamalan said inspired him was reading Einstein's biography and how he thinks Einstein became very religious

Reviews aren't that good, and there's some pretty preachy themes in the movie from what read, probably worth a pass.
