Just a couple of weeks ago, M. Night Shyamalan told MTV he was thinking about developing a sequel to his 2000 mystery thriller “Unbreakable.” Now he’s definitely considering it. But what does that really mean?

In a recent interview with Sci Fi, the director said the initial mixed reaction to “Unbreakable” kept him from getting started on a follow-up right away.

"I felt really hurt, and I couldn't bring myself to write," he said. Yet, time has passed, and Shyamalan is more than ready to get started on the project. Here’s what’s going on in his head right now:

"I want to write it right now, but I want to write it for the right reasons. I want a story to pop into my head that is organic and expressive of who I am. You know, these are all kind of journals of where I am emotionally, so it's kind of hard. I'm kind of trying to go back to the journal that existed in 1999 for me. But I know me: As soon as I give up on it is when the idea will come to me.”

So, does that really mean we’ll get to see “Unbreakable 2” anytime soon? Or how long may it take him to come up with the story? Judging by the way he’s talking, it may even never happen. Who knows?

Shyamalan’s latest, “The Happening” hit DVD shelves today. He’s currently prepping for “The Last Airbender.” For more on what he said, click here.
