M. Night Shyamalan's GLASS (Dragonlord's Review)

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Yeah this could be like when Conor tried to box Floyd, or it could be like when Rose tried to strike with Joanna

In your case, this could be like when Jon Jones choked out Machida, or this could be like when Mark Hunt knocked out Mir.

M. Night Shyamalan Announces UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT Sequel Titled GLASS

After 17 years, M. Night Shyamalan is finally delivering a proper sequel to Unbreakable.

The writer-director announced the news Wednesday on Twitter after months of teasing a new script he's been writing. He revealed the film is called Glass, and that Bruce Willis (David Dunn) and Samuel L. Jackson (Mr. Glass) will return. Universal will release the film Jan. 18, 2019.

"It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, 'Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?' " he tweeted. "My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film."

Unbreakable, which Shyamalan released in 2000 one year after skyrocketing to stardom with The Sixth Sense, deconstructed the superhero genre and remains one of his best-reguarded works.

Shyamalan is coming off a hot streak, with his latest movie, Split, earning more than $275 million worldwide on a $9 million budget. He has been tweeting progress on a Split follow-up for several months. His 2015 found-footage film The Visit was also a box-office hit and well-liked by critics.

[Warning: Spoilers for Split below]

Split starred James McAvoy as a kidnapper with multiple personalities and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, one of the young women who must fight to survive his capture.

With Split, Shyamalan pulled off perhaps his greatest twist yet.

A last-minute cameo from Willis revealed that Split is set in the same universe as Unbreakable. In January, Shyamalan revealed to Heat Vision that Split villain Kevin Wendle Crumb (McAvoy) was actually included in his first drafts of Unbreakable, but had to be cut out. He also revealed he was hoping to write and direct a third film that would characters from both films.

Shyamalan revealed Wednesday that both McAvoy and Taylor-Joy will return for Glass. Here's the logline Universal has released: "Following the conclusion of SPLIT, GLASS finds Dunn pursuing Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men."

I wasn't overly impressed with either of these films, and I think a crossover sequel sounds like it could be really bad.

split was about 30 minutes too long and glaring holes in the movie. It was somewhat entertaining but its pushing a fine line calling it a good movie. It lingers in the realm of decent but you like that other Visits movie which was utter trash so your taste is very skewed when it comes to good movies

Bruh The Visit was great lol. One of my favorite horror films in years.

hahahahahhahahahahahaha

Seriously tho. I absolutely loved it when I watched it. I didn't know he directed I either so I wasn't expecting that twist.

I guess It Comes at Night is probably my favorite but that's more of a thriller than a horror.

I never saw Unbreakable, but I really liked Split, and I like Willis and Jackson so I'll make sure to check it out.

Looking forward to Glass.

Fuck, you'll never experience what i felt then. The moment the Unbreakable theme came on in SPLIT, i was getting goosebumps.

Going the other direction won't be the same effect. But you still get the see the great ending.

What are the chances Glass will have a Bollywood style song-and-dance number? I'm all for that shit.

You know, to this day I still have not sat down and watched a Bollywood movie.

 

[chickenluver]

Well you said you never saw Apocalypse Now or A Clockwork Orange, that's a much more egregious error.

Finally watched Split last night which was really good. That plus this has me wanting to watch Unbreakable again. haven't seen it since the theater.

 

[Eazy123]

Very hopeful and I liked Unbreakable, but when an attempt is made to resurrect an old movie as a sequel I get cautious. Shamalamadingdong hasn’t exactly been hitting it out of the park.

When you watch, obviously try & imagine never having seen SPLIT. Also, try to keep in mind it being 17 years ago. Part of the impact of the ending of SPLIT, was having a huge subconscious buildup in people's minds over such a long period of time. M. Night has always said that whenever he goes anywhere, fans always ask him if he will ever make an Unbreakable sequel. The genius is that he slid it right under people's noses without them realizing that was what they were watching, until the ending.
