Once upon a time I was a fan of M. Night Shyamalan’s work. But pretty much everything after UNBREAKABLE, things just got worse and worse. BUT I was surprised to see when SPLIT came out, it was decently well-received. I probably should say I haven’t seen SPLIT yet, but it’s on the list to be sure.
But yea, SPLIT aside, with his movies getting worse and worse, definitely took each new movie from him with less and less excitement.
But where am I going with this?
Well, looks like the director might be building a “shared universe” of his own. UNBREAKABLE being the last movie of his I enjoyed, the director took to Twitter to share some news about his next movie.
Check it out below!
My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film.

Definitely on-board for a sequel to UNBREAKABLE, and it being connected to SPLIT somehow? Well, I guess I need to move that up on the movie list! Haha.
What do you think about this crossover/universe?
