20 Most Exciting Movies Announced In 2017

19. Glass

Split James McAvoy

Release Date: January 18, 2019

M. Night Shyamalan blew audiences away at the beginning of the year with his unexpectedly terrific Split, which concluded with the shock revelation that the film is actually a backdoor sequel to the director's cult classic superhero movie Unbreakable.

Well, Shyamalan's wasting no time at all assembling the sequel, Glass, which will reunite Split's James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy with Unbreakable's Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson for a convergent third film that ties the two previous movies together. Though principal photography finished back in November, fans will sadly have to wait more than a year for the film to hit screens.

The potential here speaks for itself, and as long as Shyamalan keeps things tight and low-key, it could be yet more proof that the filmmaker is truly back on top form.
