Positive News About ‘Unbreakable 2′
After the last two films from M. Night Shyamalan, many fans were clamoring for something, anything from the writer/director to reassert their beliefs that he is actually a decent filmmaker. Ever since it came out, most of these same fans have been wanting a sequel to ‘Unbreakable’, arguably Shyamalan’s best film to date.
Shyamalan recently spoke with Sci Fi Wire, and the subject of an ‘Unbreakable 2′ came up.
“I want to write it right now, but I want to write it for the right reasons,” Shayamalan said. “I want a story to pop into my head that is organic and expressive of who I am. You know, these are all kind 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. It’s just I need to go into therapy; I guess that’s the end of that answer to this.”
I know a lot of people are reluctant to see ‘Unbreakable 2′ get made, especially after what Shyamalan gave us with ‘Lady in the Water’ and ‘The Happening’. I still have faith. If he gets himself to where he was when he wrote the original, and if he gets Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson to reprise their roles, ‘Unbreakable 2′ could easily be just as good as the first one.

“especially after what Shyamalan gave us with ‘Lady in the Water’..” Yeah….its called greatness…and something original! Shyamalan is certainly more than just a “decent” filmmaker – auteur director is more like it!
Oh, you are a sad, sad little Shyamalan apologist. ‘Chick in the Pool’ sucked. ‘Running from Trees’ sucked. Accept it and move on.
I’m not too sure about this. Like you said, Night has been falling off pretty heavily and I don’t think he would be able to deliver something of the same caliber as the original movie.
I lost faith in his storytelling abilities after The Village, honestly.
Ruining one of his best films by throwing out a sequel is no way to get out of a rut. M. Night is grasping at straws if he even considers making a follow-up. “Chick in the Pool” and the “Foul Breeze” have left a bad taste in almost everyones mouth (Michelle, Travis and panda hugger) and I personally don’t want this to happen.
