If you haven't seen M. Night Shyamalan's SPLIT yet, or just don't care, be warned that there will be SPOILERS below. After what seemed like far too long, M. Night Shyamalan finally began to emerge from the pit of mediocrity into which he had descended years ago with SPLIT, which told the tale of a man with twenty-three different personalities who kidnaps and imprisons three teenage girls in an isolated underground facility. Starring James McAvoy (X-MEN: APOCALYPSE) and Anya Taylor-Joy (THE WITCH), the film proved to be quite the success story, and, as we've come to associate them with Shyamalan, it wasn't without a few twists and turns.
The biggest of those twists arrived at the very end with the appearance of David Dunn (Bruce Willis), revealing SPLIT to be a stealthy sequel to M. Night Shyamalan's UNBREAKABLE. A sequel was soon announced which would bring back Bruce Willis as David Dunn, Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, James McAvoy as Kevin Wendell Crumb, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke to conclude the trilogy. According to THR, Willis and Jackson won't be the only UNBREAKABLE stars returning for GLASS as Spencer Treat Clark is set to reprise his role of Joseph Dunn, the son of Bruce Willis' character, and Charlayne Woodard will also be back as Mrs. Price, the mother to Samuel L. Jackson's Mr. Glass. Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story) has also joined the cast in a new undisclosed role.
Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, the upcoming sequel will find David 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. GLASS is set for a January 18, 2019 release.
