Unbreakable sequel ending is apparently so terrifying M. Night Shyamalan had to walk away from writing it

April 17, 2017 by Robert Kojder

A while back, director M. Night Shyamalan teased audiences that he is already currently writing his follow-up project to the critically and financially successful multiple personality disorder thriller Split, which he also confirmed will also be a sequel to arguably his greatest effort, Unbreakable, which we learned is also set in the same universe as Split.

For those still comprehending what the hell is going on, the juicy detail is that M. Night Shyamalan has taken to Twitter to, possibly hyperbolically, announce that the ending to this new project is so frightening he’s having trouble putting the finishing touches to paper. Check it out below…

Writing climax of the new film. Had to step away. Heart pounding. Too scared and worried for the characters. Writing really is like acting.

— M. Night Shyamalan (@MNightShyamalan) April 15, 2017

Let us know in the comments believe if you are excited for UnSplitable or whatever this ambitious, mysterious project will be called.

While the mental divisions of those with dissociative identity disorder have long fascinated and eluded science, it is believed that some can also manifest unique physical attributes for each personality, a cognitive and physiological prism within a single being. 

Though Kevin (James McAvoy) has evidenced 23 personalities to his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher (Betty Buckley), there remains one still submerged who is set to materialize and dominate all the others.  Compelled to abduct three teenage girls led by the willful, observant Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy, The Witch), Kevin reaches a war for survival among all of those contained within him—as well as everyone around him—as the walls between his compartments shatter apart.

Split stars James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Betty Buckley, Jessica Sula and Haley Lu Richardson.
