Unbreakable
Glasswill be a " very dissimilar " kind of superhero movie , fit in to producer Jason Blum . The picture show tick off the highly awaited follow - up to M. Night Shyamalan’sSplit , a psychological thriller that close with a surprisal linkup - in to 2000’sUnbreakable . The movie , which debuted earlier this year , grossed $ 276 million at the worldwide box office against a budget of $ 9 million , making it one of Shyamalan ’s most successful ( and well received ) efforts in years .
Glassserves asSplit ’s sequel and the third within theUnbreakableuniverse . It ’s not slated to gain theaters until early 2019 , but already detail have get down to trickle out . Both Bruce Willis and James McAvoy will reprize their roles as David Dunn and Kevin Wendell Crumb / The Beast , respectively . Sarah Paulson has beencast in an unrevealed use , while Samuel L. Jackson will return asUnbreakable ’s Elijah Price and Anya Taylor - Joy asSplit ’s Casey Cooke , the only imprisoned to survive an brush with the Beast , the most serious of Kevin ’s 23 personalities . Filming startslater this month .
When asked what he could rally aboutGlassin late interview withCollider , Blum explicate that while it was certainly fit within the superhero realm , give that both David and the Beast have superhuman timber , but it wo n’t be a saturated musical genre movie . He said :
" Of course , it ’s a sort of superhero movie , for certain . I do count it that , yeah . It ’s very different . I would say it ’s not a Marvel movie , but a superhero movie . "
That does n’t give much aside , but it does make sense . Thesynopsis teases a confrontationbetween Dunn and the Beast with the homicidal Price tracking them from the shadows , so it sounds like the good vs. malevolent tautness at the affectionateness of most superhero endeavor will be present and accounted for . However , Shyamalan ’s safe study tend to veer toward the dark , intense , and sometimes terrifying , as see inSplitandUnbreakableas well as titles likeThe Sixth SenseandThe Village . So if he ’s go to follow up his most well regarded try of the last five class , it ’s fitting that he ’d lean into his unassailable suit .
It ’s also refreshing that , given the recent superhero thunder , Glasswill offer a Modern take . Films likeSuicide SquadandBatman V Superman : Dawn of Justicehave prove that merely tend into the genre is n’t enough , while jailbreak likeDeadpoolhave show that a fresh perspective can go a tenacious way . There ’s a lot riding onGlass , but it fathom like Shyamaln is on the right track .
