M. Night Shyamalan has hopped on Twitter to unveil some new details about the third installment in his Unbreakable series — most importantly that it’s called Glass and it’s coming out on January 18th, 2019.
The film was announced in February following the debut (and impressive box office success) of Split, a film that wasn’t marketed as having any relation to the beloved 2000 thriller Unbreakable; it revealed the connection only in its final minutes.
Shyamalan also told his 106,000 Twitter followers that Split stars Ana Taylor-Joy and James McAvoy will both appear in Glass, as will Unbreakable stars Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. The film will be produced by Blumhouse, the low-budget horror powerhouse that’s been on a crazy winning streak — putting out both of the only hits Shyamalan has made this decade (The Visit and Split), Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Purge: Election Year, and Netflix’s Hush, all in the last two years.
Shyamalan, for his part, had been on a bit of a losing streak after the critically reviled Lady in the Water, the whitewashed Avatar: The Last Airbender, and a fairly humiliating failed attempt at a comeback in 2010. But with the help of Blumhouse, Willis’ beloved David Dunn character, and the good will he’s accrued with back-to-back low-budget critical hits, that looks to be over.
