During an interview with Collider to promote his new television series Wayward Pines, M. Night Shyamalan got onto the topic of the long-rumoured sequel to 2000’s Unbreakable, stating that he’s still holding out hope that it could become a reality.
“I love those characters and I love that world. Of course, the whole world makes comic book movies now. At the time, it was completely novel. I remember when I made it, Disney was literally like, ‘Comic books?! There’s no market for comic books!’ That’s all they make now! The beauty of the world of Unbreakable is that you’re playing it for reality. It should never feel like a comic book movie. It feels like a straight-up drama. It’s real. You’re confronting the possibility that comic book characters were based on people that were real. That’s the premise, so the tone has to be super grounded. It would be cool.”
