Clip: Mr. Glass tries to bring out the Beast in James McAvoy

Last Updated on July 21, 2021

Yesterday, we shared a cool bit of news regarding writer/director M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming simultaneous sequel to UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT. Turns out that  Shyamalan's original plan was for James McAvoy's The Horde to do battle with Bruce Willis' David Dunn aka The Overseer in the 2000 action-drama UNBREAKABLE. Cool, right? And speaking of The Horse, today we have an all-new clip from GLASS.

This one features Mr. Glass coming into The Horde's room and trying to bring out The Beast. It's a slick clip being that it all takes place in one single take. Not only that, but McAvoy goes through at least three different performances during said one-shot. It's impressive yet subtle. Check it out below!

Here's the official GLASS synopsis: 

M. Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals—2000’s Unbreakable, and 2016’s Split—in one explosive, all-new comic-book thriller: Glass. From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass. Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast. Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

Returning with Willis and Jackson from UNBREAKABLE is Spencer Treat Clark as Dunn's son and Charlayne Woodard as Price's mother. Back with McAvoy from SPLIT is Anya Taylor-Joy (THE WITCH). Sarah Paulson (AMERICAN HORROR STORY) joins the cast this time around as well. And if you're looking forward to witnessing all the UN-SPLIT-ABLE mayhem this January, then you might be interested to know that the film has scored a PG-13 rating via the powers that be over at the MPAA for "violence including some bloody images, thematic elements, and language."

Shyamalan produced GLASS with Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, Ashwin Rajan, and Marc Bienstock. Steven Schneider, Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum, and Kevin Frakes served as executive producers. GLASS is scheduled to twist and turn its way into theatres on January 18, 2019.
