M. Night Shyamalan has been talking about making an Unbreakable sequel for years. Who knows if he’ll actually do it, though. He most recently talked about the possibility of turning it into a TV series.

Unbreakable is a great movie, and one that I’m surprised hasn’t had a sequel yet. If the filmmaker did move forward with it, it would probably be his most successful film since the first one was released.

Entertainment Weekly published an oral history of Unbreakable in which Shyamalan, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L. Jackson were among several people interviewed for the piece. Jackson closed off the conversation by saying that he’s up for starring in the sequel:

“People talk to me about that movie all the time. Night’s still around. Bruce is still around. I’m still around. And I’d love to break out of the asylum.”

When he was asked about his plans for a sequel during the interview, Shyamalan said,

“I don’t know. Maybe there’s an interest right now in the underlying struggles and fantasies that are being fulfilled in comic books and not being fulfilled in the real world.”

I think the movie would do extremely well right now, and if he moves on it, he should do it soon. As much as I dislike the director's film work over the last ten years, I would still be excited to see him make this sequel.
