From Universal’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 comes the first look at 2019’s first blockbuster: M. Night Shaymalan’s sequel to Unbreakable and Split…GLASS! More from Coming Soon.
Returning for Glass are cast members Bruce Willis as David Dunn, Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, aka Mr. Glass, and James McAvoy as Kevin Wendell Crumb, aka The Horde. They’re joined by Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story series) as a psychiatrist who specializes in “individuals who believe they are superheroes” and who is treating the trio at a mental hospital.
Also starring in the film is Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast, who reprises her role from Split. Plus Unbreakable’s Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard, who reprise their roles as Dunn’s son and Price’s mother.
This riveting culmination of his worldwide blockbusters will be 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, who will executive produce.
A Blinding Edge Pictures and Blumhouse production, Glass will be released by Universal Pictures in North America on January 18, 2019, and by Buena Vista International abroad.
Man does this look incredible.

It really does. This and FB2 were the best trailers of SDCC.

Proving that sequels are not always nessasaily the devil. But the original filmmakers have to make them, out of love, instead of just a desire for more money.
Glass looks like it pushes the franchise’s central genre mashup to the limit, and FB is going to wind up a much, much better work than the HP film adaptations when you take those films as a whole. The concept of Rowling, transferring her ideas directly into screenplay form, is already working better than if someone had tried to squeeze her sprawling plots, with dozens of characters who are all vitally important to the narrative, into scripts. Also this trailer makes the new film look like it’s playing up Rowling’s world with a scale and imagination we have never seen before on film.

Sorry, obviously someone DID squeeze her sprawling plots into books. Those books would have been better served by miniseries. For real.
The FB films are going to be better. Wait and see. Just wait.

“Obviously, someone DID squeeze her sprawling plots… into SCREENPLAYS.” Is what I mean. On the third try.
