M. Night Shyamalan wants To Make An 'Unbreakable' TV Series
The name M. Night Shyamalan inspires dread in the hearts of moviegoers nowadays (for all the wrong reasons), but his career famously got off to a rousing start.
Obviously, The Sixth Sense is seen as his crowning achievement, but his second directorial effort, Unbreakable, has more than its fair share of admirers who enjoyed its real-world take on comic book lore and suspenseful atmosphere. The prospect of Unbreakable 2 has been raised by Shyamalan multiple times over the years since then.
Comedian Patton Oswalt has even outlined his idea for a full trilogy – and one has to admit that the world Shyamalan built is rich enough to warrant more projects.While speaking with IGN, Shyamalan stated that he would be up for an Unbreakable revival via a limited series run on a platform like Netflix or HBO.
In today's media, bringing back old properties via these small blocks of entertainment are all the rage, and Netflix is becoming more and more prevalent for creators. Many now feel that the Netflix model gives filmmakers a greater canvas to work with than a single film necessarily does.
