M. Night Shyamalan's Glass: Everything We Know So Far

2. Shyamalan Has Been Watching Classic Films To "Get Inspired"

Ever since Split opened and became a huge success, Shyamalan has been meticulously planning the followup.

And, besides all the usual pre-production tasks like storyboarding and costume designing, the director's been watching plenty of classic movies in the hopes of inspiring the production of Glass.

These movies include Pulp Fiction, Tarantino's 1994 crime-comedy, and Don't Look Now, the Donald Sutherland-starring thriller from 1973.

Both these movies couldn't be more different if they tried, with one leaning heavily on comedy and the other playing it straight, so it's hard to say exactly what Shyamalan gleaned from the two.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
