    The Beast was first. Now it’s time for Bruce Willis‘ David Dunn to take the spotlight.

    “Glass” has been sharing character profile teases in advance of Friday’s official trailer.

    Yesterday, James McAvoy’s “Split” personalities were shown in a Beast-centric teaser. Today, we get to see David Dunn’s “Unbreakable” past:

    Tomorrow, there’s a very good chance Samuel L. Jackson‘s Elijah Price/Mr. Glass will get the final teaser before we see the full trailer. He does have top billing right there in the “Glass” movie title, so Kevin Wendell Crumb and David Dunn are basically his opening acts.

    The first “Glass” photos and poster were revealed last week, showing the three main characters in therapy with a new psychiatrist played by Sarah Paulson.

    It’s still not clear why David Dunn is in therapy — and chained, unlike the other two — when he’s meant to be our hero. Guess that’s why we have to watch the movie to find out.

    M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass” will open in theaters January 18, 2019. Check out the official synopsis for more plot details. The cast and director are heading to San Diego Comic-Con this week, with the big trailer debut on Friday, July 20.

    James McAvoy‘s The Beast was first. Will Bruce Willis‘ David Dunn be next to get a “Glass” teaser, or will it be Samuel L. Jackson‘s Mr. Glass himself?

    M. Night Shyamalan has waited 18 years for his sequel to “Unbreakable” to hit theaters. He had to wait at least 16 of those years for “Split” to arrive, pairing perfectly — and surprisingly — for a joint sequel. Fans didn’t even know this was in the works until the end of “Split,” but now they can’t wait to see the result.

    That sequel will share its first trailer this Friday, July 20 during San Diego Comic-Con.

    To tease the upcoming trailer, Universal shared a brief video focused on one member of the superhero/villain trinity — James McAvoy’s The Beast (aka Kevin Wendell Crumb).

    There’s no new footage, it’s basically a”Split” character profile to tide fans over as they wait for the trailer … or the next character teaser, which could arrive on Wednesday.

    Here’s the first teaser:

    The first photos were released last week, after the truly perfect first poster.

    Here’s the official “Glass” synopsis:

    “M. Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals—2000’s ‘Unbreakable,’ from Touchstone, and 2016’s ‘Split,’ from Universal—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.

    Joining the all-star cast are ‘Unbreakable’s’ Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard, who reprise their roles as Dunn’s son and Price’s mother, as well as Golden Globe Award winner Sarah Paulson (‘American Horror Story’ series).

    This riveting culmination of his worldwide blockbusters is produced by Shyamalan and Blumhouse Production’s Jason Blum, who also produced the writer/director’s previous two films for Universal. They produce again with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock, and Steven Schneider and Kevin Frakes, who executive produce. Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum also serve as executive producers.”

    “Glass” will open in theaters January 18, 2019.

    Don’t forget you have a date with the first “Glass” trailer next Friday, July 20.

    M. Night Shyamalan and the cast will be at Comic-Con to talk about the hype-worthy sequel to both “Unbreakable” (2000) with Samuel L. Jackson (Elijah Price/Mr. Glass) and Bruce Willis (David Dunn), and “Split” (2016) with James McAvoy (Kevin Wendell Crumb).

    Night shared the perfect poster for “Glass” last week. Entertainment Weekly just shared the first official photos.

    The photos show the trio of superheroes/supervillains in therapy with a psychiatrist played by Sarah Paulson.

    We also see “Split” returnee Anya Taylor-Joy with Kevin. James McAvoy teased to EW that “We get to spend some time with some new people that live inside Kevin” in “Glass.”

    And we also see Mr. Glass wearing a truly amazing suit. (He even has his own “MG” pin. That is next level.)

    Question: Why is David Dunn in therapy, and — especially — when is he chained? The others aren’t chained. Suspicious.

    Night told EW that Elijah’s mom (Charlayne Woodard) and David’s son (Spencer Treat Clark) will return and “play a big role” in the movie.

    Here’s the synopsis:

    “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.

    “Glass” is scheduled for release in theaters on January 18th, 2019.

  • M. Night Shyamalan, ‘Glass’ Cast Reveal First Footage From ‘Unbreakable,’ ‘Split’ Sequel

    CinemaCon 2018 - Universal Pictures Invites You To A Special Presentation Featuring Footage From Its Upcoming SlateIt’s like something out of a comic book: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy, and Sarah Paulson starring in an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

    That movie is called “Glass” and it is a sequel to the director’s movies “Unbreakable” and “Split.” And Shyamalan and the cast appeared together at CinemaCon today to unveil the first footage from the film.

    “Eighteen years ago, I based a movie around a crazy idea: what if comic books were based on reality?” Shyamalan told the audience. “And in ‘Unbreakable,’ I tried to tell the origin story of a superhero that lives in the real world, David Dunn, played by Bruce Willis.”

    With last year’s “Split,” Shyamalan tackled “another crazy question: What if the afflictions, the disorders that society thinks makes a person damaged or broken actually are gifts that make them exceptional?”

    From that came “the origin story for an anarchist that could be good or could be bad,” aka Mr. Glass as played by Jackson.

    The teaser footage showed Paulson’s psychiatrist character, Dr. Ellie Staple, attempting to treat David Dunn (Willis), multiple personalities-holding Kevin (McAvoy), and Elijah Price (Jackson).

    “The three of you have convinced yourselves that you have extraordinary gifts, like something out of a comic book,” she says.

    And when Mr. Glass seeks a partnership with Kevin’s The Beast, well, what could go wrong?

    “Glass” opens in theaters January 18, 2019.

    Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson are now filming M. Night Shyamalan‘s “Unbreakable” sequel, “Glass,” but they took a break for Night’s charity Halloween party in Philadelphia.

    Willis and his assistant Stephen J. Eads decided to dress as “The Shining” twins.

    Here’s Jackson’s photo, with a quote from the Stanley Kubrick film as caption:

    It’s perfect, man. Way to commit.

    Some fans were confused and freaked out; many (who got the horror film reference) were also impressed, sharing some classic reactions:

  • ‘Unbreakable’ Sequel ‘Glass’ Is Now Filming: See M. Night Shyamalan’s First Set Photo

    Samuel L Jackson Stars As Elijah Price An Eccentric Who Offers A Supernatural ExplanatiM. Night Shyamalan‏ has back-to-school jitters on the set of “Glass,” a film “seventeen years in the making.”

    Spoilers ahead: Stop reading if you aren’t up-to-date on Shyamalan’s most recent film.

    The director tweeted to fans he was “nervous and excited” to get started on the film, which is both a sequel to his 2000 movie “Unbreakable” with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, *and* a follow-up to his 2016 hit “Split” with James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy.

    “Split” ended with a surprise appearance from Bruce Willis as David Dunn, revealing “Split” was set in the same universe as “Unbreakable.” In “Unbreakable,” Jackson’s character had the nickname Mr. Glass. The follow-up, “Glass,” brings in Dunn and Glass, along with McAvoy’s Kevin Wendle Crumb and Taylor-Joy’s Casey Cooke. Sarah Paulson has also joined the joint sequel.

    Fans are only a wee bit ecstatic to see “Glass,” and Shyamalan sounded just as excited in his build-up to Monday’s first day of filming:

  • M. Night Shyamalan Is Making a Sequel to ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Split’

    Now, here’s a twist: M. Night Shyamalan is finally making a sequel to his 2000 superhero thriller “Unbreakable” — and it’s also a sequel to his recent horror flick “Split.”

    The film is titled “Glass” and the director calls it a “crazy comic book thriller.” It will bring together “Unbreakable” stars Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson and “Split” star James McAvoy.

    Shyamalan shared the news on Twitter:

    “Split” was a huge hit, earning more than $275 million worldwide on just a $9 million budget. And it followed on the heels of another hit, 2015’s “The Visit.” So, Shyamalan is on a hot streak.

    So, how can “Glass” be a sequel to both movies? SPOILERS AHEAD!

    In “Split,” McAvoy played a kidnapper named Kevin Wendell Crumb with multiple personalities, including “The Beast,” with superhuman strength. At the end of the movie, customers at a diner watch news coverage of the crimes and one remarked Kevin’s similarity to another criminal who was confined to a wheelchair. Sitting next to that patron is David Dunn (Willis), who reminded her that his name was “Mr. Glass” (Jackson).

    A few months ago, Shyamalan explained that he initially included Kevin in “Unbreakable” but had to cut him out. Now, he can bring together the three characters as he intended.
