Actually...Shyamalan told this story to his kids and then developed it into a screenplay. I was under the impression that he made it up so...that's probably why the names all sound so Western. No doubt his kids probably called the creature a narf after watching Pinky and the Brain or something. Just a little tidbit of information. LOL.
I mean, I'm pretty sure he made it up. Don't quote me on anything. Heh.
Also...on The Leaky Caudron's podcast, "Pottercast," when Shyalaman was interviewed...he was kind of roped into saying which of the two remaining Potter films he would like to direct...and he was hesitant to answer (he hasn't read all the books yet)...but he said IF he had a choice, he would like to close the series. Anyway...just letting you know these random factoids that I know because I am of nerdiness.
I LOVED Lady in the Water too by the way. I think critics were simply angry because they killed off a film critic character. My favorite Shyalaman movie by far. I LOVED it.
Yeah...I'm just a random little fan replying...
