Season 2: Episode 41 - 2 FOR ONE: Unbreakable (2000)/Split (2016)

Unbreakable (2000)

 

Written, directed and produced by M Night Shyamalan, the film would be the second collaboration with Bruce Willis after the large success of The Sixth Sense.  Setting up the film in a three part story and to present it in this comic book format worked and created parallels to superhero graphic novels.

 

Using slanted camera angles, would give the film its comic book look.  The film also would use a colour scheme with Mr Glass in purple and David Dunn’s colour green.  This would be the fourth film which Jackson and Willis would appear together and as a note of interest, Julianne Moore was to play Dunn’s wife Audrey but dropped out to play Clarice Starling in Hannibal leaving the role open for Robin Wright Penn.

​

The third part of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy entitled Glass would be released in 2019.

 

Split (2016)

 

M Night Shyamalan came back from a questionable fair misfires to release a film dealing with split personalities which brought him back to the hit film fanfare that he experienced with Sixth Sense.  A horror, psychological thriller film, the film follows a man with 23 separate personalities. 

 

The film is a considered a standalone sequel to Shyamalan’s film Unbreakable and is considered the second part of the Eastrail 177 Trilogy.   The character of Kevin was written into the film Unbreakable but due to levelling out the film, were removed. 

 

This is the first film since The Sixth Sense to break box office records and to finish up as number one for three consecutive weeks.  The third instalment Glass will be released in 2019.
