Why only Philly? **SPOILERS**


I might have got this wrong, but after watching Unbreakable I got the impression that Mr Glass was perpetrating his acts of terrorism only in Philadelphia?

If he was truly looking the the one man who was "unbreakable", what made him assume that this man would live in Philly?

“My thought bubble would be—again don’t hold me to this—but Elijah never got out of the institution. He was just a guy who believed this, but David doesn’t quite 100% believe it that way, he just thinks that he is particularly meant to do this and is kind of faded a little bit. Like this idea of comic books that Elijah was saying the comic book world is based on reality, that it’s real—there’s no other evidence for this. It’s this crazy guy who has this bone disorder who’s in an insane asylum. But then this comes up and he’s like, ‘Oh my God, he’s right.’”

from the man himself

“I said, ‘You know I might be doing this movie and I might combine these two movies, I don’t know if you’re interested in playing Mr. Glass [again],’ he’s like ‘I’m dying to play Mr. Glass! I keep telling you every time I see you!’”

seems like Jackson is in too

Hmmm. OK so thanks, I googled that quote, and in the same interview read "Fans have been asking for an Unbreakable sequel from Shyamalan for years, and now it seems like he’s finally ready to make a third Unbreakable movie, since Split technically counts as the second."

My thoughts on "Split" actually being "Unbreakable 2"? Whoever claims that has got to be as insane as Mr Glass...

It's second in the 'franchise' but a bridging movie
