M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Glass’ Begins Filming Next Month
M. Night Shyamalan recently announced that “American Horror Story’s” Sarah Paulson has joined the cast of Glass, his Unbreakable sequel that will spin off from his surprise hit Split.
Unbreakable‘s antagonist Samuel L. Jackson returns as Elijah Price/Mr. Glass, while Bruce Willis reprises his role as the film’s hero, David Dunn.
Anya Taylor-Joy, who escaped Split, also stars with James McAvoy returning as Kevin Wendell Crumb, Patricia, Dennis, Hedwig, Barry, Jade, Orwell, The Beast, Heinrich, and Norma.
With Universal planning to release Glass in theaters on January 18, 2019, Jackson revealed to Collider that filming is set to begin next month: “We start rehearsal on [September] 18th and I start shooting on the 25th.”
In the 2000 Unbreakable, Willis’ character learns he’s a superhero with superhuman strength, while Jackson becomes his adversary, Mr. Glass. In Split, McAvoy’s multiple personalities include a monster, who is now on the loose in this newly invented Shyamalan universe. Glass will bring all of these characters together.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
