It’s a sequel to his last film Split and also a sequel to Unbreakable. I always loved Unbreakable and thought Split was pretty damned good. Shyamalan has Bruce Willis, Sam Jackson, and James McAvoy reprising their roles.
I like how Shyamalan has crafted a world with people who are superhuman, but not too superhuman. Plus Unbreakable and Split have very different tones, with one slow and plodding, and the other intense with drastic mood changes, which makes me wonder how Glass is going to play out.
I liked Unbreakable, even if it was only 1/3 of a full story.
I completely missed Split. Don’t even remember hearing anything about it.
I am glad that Unbreakable has not been left hanging. Back when it was new I recall reading an article about it and Shyamalan explaining he was always interested in the origin stories of superheroes, but what followed was NOT interesting to him, or something like that, hence why Unbreakable always felt like the first act of a story that never continued; it was never a complete story on its own.
The Official Trailer looks excellent. Even if just merely builds upon the first one, this is going to be a good sequel. By adding in two new main characters the bald super powered villain and a new doctor I’m hoping we see new sub plots before the inevitable show down between David Dunn and the Beast.
It would be very interesting if Bruce Willis Character fails or dies, only to be saved by Mr. Glass himself.
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to this film too.
I have to give Shyamalan a lot of credit.
It seemed after The Village, Lady in the Water, and then The Last Airbender, his career was going downhill.
Now he’s on the upswing again.
I haven’t seen Split, but I loved Unbreakable, and Glass looks like it’s going to be great.
I like most of his movies, but even I couldn’t stomach watching The Last Airbender and barely managed to slog through After Earth. Not to say I thought The Happening and Lady in the Water were good, but they had enough of the Shyamalan atmosphere I love so much to make them tolerable to me.
I thought The Visit marked his return to quality filmmaking, though it didn’t have the tone and style I think of when I think of a Shyamalan film. It seemed like a “prove you don’t suck” picture that re-earned him the ability to go back to his trademark filmmaking style with Split.
Random uninformed guesses on the inevitable MNS twist at the end: Sarah Paulsen’s doctor character turns out to have a hidden agenda - say, destroying or neutralizing everyone with superpowers because someone she loved was once killed by a superpowered person - which would make her the anti-Glass (Glass’s agenda being to bring out superpowered people).
Less likely:She has superpowers too.
Unless:She had lost control of her own powers and hurt the aforementioned loved one, and thus devoted herself to “protecting” everyone else as above.
Again - only pure speculation based on nothing but previous MNS twists. Here’s hoping MNS surprises us.
