What's sneaky M. Night Shyamalan up to?

The wheels are apparently a-turning on M. Night Shyamalan's next project but the director is being his normal uber-secretive shelf. Heat Vision reports that Shyamalan's next film — following The Last Airbender, out July 1, watch the final trailer above — has Gwyneth Paltrow, Bruce Willis and Bradley Cooper tentatively attached. But that's pretty much all anyone's got so far because, as the AV Club says, "Only the top studio executives have been allowed to read the script, and then only under the close supervision of one of Shyamalan's assistants, who immediately took the script back as soon as they were done." (Jesus H., and you though your job was shitty, these assistants are tasked with watching people read.) The real question, now that Shyamalan has entered the genre film pantheon with Airbender, will anyone give a shit about these legendary twists that have lately been more laughable than mind-blowing. Shyamalan and B. Coops are both local boys, and Bruce has done the Philly thing before but you can hear the salivation of gossip hounds everywhere with the idea of Paltrow hitting the local streets, hopefully fruit- and Bible-themed children in tow. Look, I'll take anything for the slimmest chance of seeing this performed live at my local bar:
