It was just yesterday that I made the joke that, as the release date approaches, it seems that literally every single day we have new news regarding writer/director M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming simultaneous sequel to UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT. Not that I'm complaining. After all, I already have my tickets bought and ready to roll to see the movie this Thursday night. So maybe I'm biased. All the same, guess what we have for you today?
More GLASS news!
Well, actually it's a new GLASS clip if you want to get all technical. This new clip is called "Stuck In This Room" and it features our first look at a solid one-on-one between James McAvoy and series newcomer Sarah Paulson. Like the clip we shared last week with Sam Jackson and McAvoy this one is interesting if only for the changes McAvoy goes through in the short running time. The man is always impressive as he switches between personalities.
Check out the new clip below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are for GLASS! And while we're here, here's the official GLASS synopsis:
M. Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals—2000’s Unbreakable, and 2016’s Split—in one explosive, all-new comic-book thriller: Glass. From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast. 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.
Returning with Willis and Jackson from UNBREAKABLE is Spencer Treat Clark as Dunn's son and Charlayne Woodard as Price's mother. Back with McAvoy from SPLIT is Anya Taylor-Joy (THE WITCH). Sarah Paulson (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) joins the cast this time around as well. And if you're looking forward to witnessing all the UN-SPLIT-ABLE mayhem this January, then you might be interested to know that the film has scored a PG-13 rating via the powers that be over at the MPAA for "violence including some bloody images, thematic elements, and language."
Shyamalan produced GLASS with Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, Ashwin Rajan, and Marc Bienstock. Steven Schneider, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, and Kevin Frakes served as executive producers. GLASS is scheduled to twist and turn its way into theatres on January 18, 2019.
