Split’s villain The Horde was featured in an early script draft for Unbreakable, but was removed by Shyamalan when he realized that the character didn’t quite fit into the story.
Night Shymalan screened 12 minutes of Glass for his distributors and seems quite pleased by the “gracious” reaction to the movie preview footage.
Glass is intended to serve as the final part of Shymalan’s superhero movie trilogy, so hopefully it will live up to the quality of the two films proceeding it.
Unbreakable still holds up as both an emotional drama and an examination of the superhero myth, which is why it’s aged so well.
