 This movie was originally set up at Disney, but  M. Night Shyamalan (qv) departed from the studio over "creative  differences", and brought it to Warner Brothers. Disney has produced  Shyamalans previous four films, and the studios subsidiary Miramax  Films also produced _Wide Awake (1998)_ (qv) which Shyamalan wrote  and directed. This departure became the subject of the book "The Man  Who Heard Voices: Or, How M. Night Shyamalan Risked His Career on a  Fairy Tale".
