M. Night Shyamalan pulled another of his trademark surprises in last year’s multiple personality thriller Split, when it was revealed the whole thing was taking place in the same universe as the director’s 2000 movie, Unbreakable. Now the worlds of those two films are coming together for glass.
Here’s the 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.’
Take a look at the new trailer below. The film is due to hit cinemas next January. [Read more…]

M. Night Shyamalan isn’t quite the name he was in the years after The Sixth Sense, but he’s still one of the few writer/directors who you can sell a film on the strength of their name. That certainly seems true of The Visit, which wants to suggest it’ll take us back to the world of twisty-turny thrillers he’s known for.
M. Night Shyamalan and Bruce Willis had plenty of success together with The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, but they haven’t worked together since. Now they’re planning to reunite, but it won’t be for a sequel to either of their earlier movies, instead it’ll be a drama called Labor Of Love, according to 
It certainly seems as if they’re trying to sell M. Night Shyamalan’s After Earth as being a bit like Avatar. You certainly got that feel from the trailer and now a new poster also gives a bit of a Pandoran feel, even though this is actually a futuristic Earth.
