The ever reliable MTV folks caught up with Shyamalan at a recent press event, and even though hes deep into production on "Avatar: The Last Airbender", they asked him the question on every Mr Glass fans lips, "Are you considering a sequel?"
“I am,” revealed Shyamalan. “I don’t know where all the parties are in the world. Sam [Jackson] is like ‘Mr. Comic Book’ now. And Bruce, I don’t know what he’s up to. I don’t know where Disney’s at in their head and what kind of movies they’re up for making. But yeah, I love that movie.”
This isn’t the first time that Shyamalan has enthused about continuing the “Unbreakable” mythos. Last year, he revealed that he’d like to start working on it immediately, but that he also wanted to make sure the timing was right.
“I want a story to pop into my head that is organic and expressive of who I am,” he said at the time. “You know, these are all kinds of journals of where I am emotionally, so it’s kind of hard. I’m kind of trying to go back to the journal that existed in 1999 for me. But I know me: As soon as I give up on it is when the idea will come to me.”
Sam Jackson has also expressed interest in another movie, so that really only leaves Brucie! Surely he wouldnt pass up the chance to revisit such a great role? Personally i think "Unbreakable" is a damn near masterpiece, lets hope this happens.
