            I would like to start by saying that SPOILERS are in effect for this post if you haven’t seen Unbreakable or Split. M. Night Shyamalan, the fascinating director behind both of those films has announced on his Twitter that confirms that his next feature, Glass will be the third in the shared cinematic universe.

            Shyamalan rose to fame in 1999 with The Sixth Sense and had major success for years before going on a cold streak unlike many directors have had. Miraculously, he’s risen out of the swamp that he put himself in with his two most recent movies, The Visit and Split, which I enjoyed thoroughly and you can find the review here. There was an appearance by Bruce Willis at the end of Split which alluded to the fact that the movie exists in the same series of movies but more details have emerged thanks to Shyamalan.

            His tweets reveal that Glass will be a sequel to both Unbreakable AND Split. The movie will star Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy who will all return for their respective roles. The movie will be released by Universal Pictures on January 18^th, 2019. I’m incredibly excited to see this and believe that if Shyamalan’s succeeds with this flick, he can return to the prominence he had before disasters like The Last Airbender and After Earth.

            What do you guys think about the announcement for Glass? Do you think this could be the return to form for M. Night Shyamalan? Sound off in the comments below!
