Its an interesting point to make that while M. Night Shyamalan’s films have all been big hitters at the box office (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE, SIGNS) they are neither promoted as blockbusters nor feel like them. SIGNS had its fair share of excitement but that came from slow building tension and sudden explosions of terror. …

?o, no he has not got the plague! That? Pizza faced Dave-he is just an Ugly, he is JUST an Ugly.? What with the release of DREDD VS DEATH on all the major platforms recently, Ol?Stony face is enjoying some extra exposure- and that can? be a bad time to release a new audio drama …

It’s a Will Smith sci-fi summer blockbuster and suddenly everything’s right with the world again. You know the score, we’ve seen it time and again since INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the term ‘blockbuster’ all those years ago.
