Remember recently when M. Night Shyamalan said that he ghostwrote the 1999 Freddie Prinze Jr./Rachael Leigh Cook rom-com "She's All That"? Maybe not, but you should have at least read and/or heard that tidbit as a buzzworthy factoid by now. Over the past two weeks or so, the rumor has set the interwebs ablaze with "Hmm, that's interesting/a bit odd/nuts." With no real reason to doubt him, the media took the faux-teur at his word. And even taking things a bit farther than the film gossip-mill, IMDb changed the writers' credits on "She's All That" to give Shyamalan and R. Lee Fleming Jr. (the screenwriter who had the original credit) equal footing. Wikipedia went so far as to claim that Shyamalan was polishing the "She's All That" script while adapting "Stuart Little" and working on "The Sixth Sense" (although it should be noted that they also misspelled Shyamalan's name and misused a source). Now, it turns out that there may be yet another twist. How very fitting! ...
