Manoj Nelliyattu " M. Night" Shyamalan[1] (/ˈ ʃ ɑː m ə l ɑː n / SHAH -mə-lahn;[3] born August 6, 1970)[4] is an American filmmaker, screenwriter and actor. He is best known for making original films with contemporary supernatural plots and twist endings. He was born in Mahé, India, and raised in Penn Valley, Pennsylvania. The cumulative gross of his films exceeds $3.3 billion globally.[5]

He made his directorial debut in 1992 with the film Praying with Anger. His second film was the comedy-drama Wide Awake (1998). His best-received films include the supernatural thriller The Sixth Sense (1999), the superhero thriller Unbreakable (2000), the science fiction thriller Signs (2002), and the period thriller The Village (2004). For The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Director and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Afterward, Shyamalan released a series of poorly received but sometimes financially successful films, including the dark fantasy Lady in the Water (2006), the eco-thriller The Happening (2008), The Last Airbender (2010) (an adaptation of the first season of the Nickelodeon animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender) and the science fiction film After Earth (2013).

Following the financial failure of After Earth, Shyamalan's career was revived with the release of the found footage horror film The Visit (2015), the psychological thriller Split (2016) and the superhero thriller Glass (2019). With a total budget of $34 million between them, these three films earned a combined box office of $625 million. Glass is the third and final chapter of his Eastrail 177 trilogy, which commenced in 2000. His latest feature film was the supernatural thriller Old, which was released in 2021 and grossed $90 million on a budget of $18 million.[6]
