My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film.

Unbreakable was released all of the way back in 2000 with Split released this year, a superb little movie that has grossed a whopping $275 million from a relatively small budget. Shyamalan will unite the two properties with Glass, to be released on January 19th 2019 through Universal Pictures.
