Shyamalan Hopes For A Scary Summer

Hollywood filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan is promising that his new movie, "The Happening" starring Mark Wahlberg, will terrify theatergoers.

The Indian-born director told reporters in Mumbai on Monday that "it is an extremely scary movie." He said it's "meant to scare you."

Shyamalan lives near Malvern, Pa., and shoots his movies in and around Philadelphia. He is visiting India to receive one of the country's highest civilian awards for his contribution to cinema.

His new movie will be released worldwide on June 13. In it, Wahlberg plays a school teacher on the run from a natural disaster that threatens the entire world.

Shyamalan says, "The emotional center of the movie is if you knew you were going to die ... what would be the last thing you would say to your loved one?"
