A sequel to Shyamalan’s previous films Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016), Glass follows superhero security guard David Dunn (Bruce Willis) on the hunt for Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), aka The Beast, as Elijah “Mr. Glass” Price (Samuel L. Jackson) pulls the strings and holds secrets key to both men.
Watch the Glass trailer here:
Split’s Anya Taylor-Joy returns as Casey Cooke, a survivor of The Beast, and returning Unbreakable cast members include Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard as Dunn’s son and Price’s mother, respectively. American Horror Story’s Sarah Paulson rounds out the cast as a shrink who treats Dunn, Price and Crumb.
Michael Myers Lives and Is Bloody as Ever in New Halloween Footage
Update 7/26: Read on for all of our coverage of Halloween at SDCC 2018.
Halloween -- and Michael Myers, and Jamie Lee Curtis -- came to San Diego Comic-Con today. No sign of Ben Tramer, though. (Reference!)
The upcoming sequel-reboot sees the return of Curtis as Laurie Strode in what is promised to be her final confrontation with her masked and murderous nemesis, as the film forgoes all of the Halloween franchise’s continuity after the original 1978 classic directed by John Carpenter. Director/co-writer David Gordon Green (co-writer Danny McBride couldn't make it) hit SDCC today to talk about his hopes and dreams (and nightmares) for this new Halloween.
