Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable was released in November of 2000, expectations were unreachably high. His previous film, The Sixth Sense, was a worldwide sensation, grossing nearly $ 300 million domestic (on a $ 40 million budget), introducing one of the all-time great twist endings, and branding its writer/director as the next Spielberg. Unbreakable hit theaters barely a year later, and though reviews were positive and box office was respectable, Shymalan was (unsurprisingly) unable to replicate its predecessor’s success.

Yet as the years passed, as more viewers discovered Unbreakable on video and sung its praises online, and as similarly brooding, adult-oriented superhero movies found favor, the director and stars would occasionally mention how they’d wanted to continue the story – but it seemed unlikely, given the first film’s disappointing box office (and Shyamalan’s subsequent fall from critical grace). And even when he snuck a cameo for Bruce Willis’s Unbreakable protagonist, David Dunn, into the end credits of his 2016 thriller Split, it felt more like a winking in-joke than an actual commitment to bring back the character.

But now he’s done just that. Glass is a rare and strange beast, a combo-sequel that continues both the stories of Unbreakable and Split, and does so rather uneasily. It’s much more a new Split movie than a new Unbreakable movie (a point underscored by James McAvoy’s top billing, though second-credited Willis’s recent filmography probably didn’t help), presumably due to its closer proximity to Split, and that film’s greater profitability. In other words, to finally make his Unbreakable sequel, Shyamalan probably had to also make it a Split sequel. And that’s too bad, because not only are the Unbreakable scenes the best in Glass; they’re also largely at odds with the rest of the picture.

Set only three weeks after the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Willis’s David Dunn living a life of discipline and solitude. His wife Audrey (played in the first film by Robin Wright) died five years earlier of leukemia, but he’s gone into business with son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark, also returning from the original), owning and operating a home security company. And, when he can, he still dons his poncho and goes out into the night to protect the people of Philadelphia.

Early on, he faces down the multiple personalities of Kevin Wendell Crumb, but their confrontation is interrupted by Philadelphia police and one Dr. Staple (Sarah Paulson), who, in her words, specializes “in a particular type of delusion of grandeur… those people who believe they are superheroes.” She has them shipped off to the local psychiatric research hospital for close study, where they will join – as promised in those terrible title cards at the end of Unbreakable – Elijah Price, aka Mr. Glass (a tic-ing and twitching Samuel L. Jackson).

Glass thus spends most of its running time as a good old-fashioned booby-hatch thriller, sometimes scary, sometimes kooky, often silly. Shyamalan struggles to keep all of his plates spinning – particularly in the last half-hour, when a promised big scene at a giant public event turns into a “we’ll just have the big fight out in the front yard” climax, like Roger Corman showed up midway through the production and slashed their budget. (Shyamalan also imposes a strikingly dumb plot twist, and a character turn for Split’s Anya Taylor-Joy that feels like a complete betrayal of her character’s previous journey.)

But ultimately, this peculiar, discombobulated movie doesn’t work because its director is trying to create a hybrid sequel for two films that are fundamentally incompatible – in tone, in style, in pace, and in perspective. Unbreakable and Split are different experiences in nearly every way, from their opening credits onward: the earlier film’s titles roll out slowly and leisurely, during long dialogue scene, shot peering between the seats of a passenger train, whereas Split’s titles slam on and off the screen as quickly as possible. The filmmaking in Unbreakable is patient – long, medium-wide shots, deliberate pacing, actors who barely speak above a whisper – stylistically the antithesis of Split, a movie where action happens as quickly as possible (within the first ten minutes there’s kidnapping, trauma, an attempted rape, and a childhood flashback) and at top volume.

Split does what it aims to do well: it’s a nasty, brutish piece of genre filmmaking (and an impressive actor’s showcase for McAvoy and Joy). But it’s barely recognizable as the same filmmaker; there’s a general nastiness to it that’s miles from the quiet heroism and character-based drama of Unbreakable. That was a film notable for its humanity; note, as just one example, how brilliantly he makes us care for, and scared for, Samuel L. Jackson’s “Glass,” who really seems like he could smash to pieces at any second, and whose mid-film injury is not only suspenseful, but genuinely harrowing. Title or no, there’s none of that in Glass, because there’s just not room for it.

Which is too bad, because in the scenes of Glass where Shyamalan is able to break free from Split, to honestly revisit Unbreakable(a film that, it is increasingly clear, is his masterpiece), he recaptures its virtues: a quiet contemplativeness, an adult-oriented approach to the superhero mythos, a performance of melancholy and resignation that reminds us of what Bruce Willis is capable of when he’s not phoning it in. But those beats are few and far between. He peppers the movie with deleted scenes from Unbreakable, and at its end, a flash of that film’s closing scene, when David silently puts his finger to his mouth, indicating to his son that his secret identity will stay between them. And all that clip does, in that particular moment, is remind us how little of Glass has landed with anything resembling that moment’s emotional force.

“Glass” is out Friday in wide release.

Titus Andromedon is Living Single and loving it in the final season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The Netflix comedy wraps its three-year run on Jan. 25, and to help tide us over until that day comes, the streaming service has released a clip from the midseason premiere — and it’s pure magic [boy].

Just as Kimmy gave us Little Girl, Big City earlier this season, Titus’ inner sitcom — titled Magic Boy, naturally — gives us a sense of what the world looks like from his perspective. And we want to go to there. (Side note: If title sequence recreations are very much your jam, you should also click here to check out grown-ish‘s shot-for-shot homage to A Different World. Can this become a trend please?)

Per Netflix, here’s what we can expect from Kimmy‘s big return:

In the final six episodes of the beloved series, Kimmy is as resilient as ever, but realizes that being an adult is about more than just putting the past behind her. It’s finally time for her to choose between helping her friends, Titus, Jacqueline and Lillian, and helping someone she’s never put first before: herself. The season also includes a double-sized ‘Sliding Doors’ episode that explores how the main characters lives might have been different if Kimmy had never been kidnapped.

Despite several trailers dropping for Cary Fukunaga‘s highly anticipated Netflix miniseries, Maniac remains very much a mystery. We know that it features two former Superbad stars and that it’s about as different from Superbad as could be. And that Emma Stone and Jonah Hill play two strangers struggling with mental illness who meet at a pharmaceutical drug trial that will supposedly solve all their problems — only to be sent on a wild adventure through a shared mind-verse.

The new Maniac teaser gives us a greater glimpse at the cosmic connection between Stone’s Annie and Hill’s Owen, who can’t stop meeting in each of the imagined worlds that the drug trial lands them in.

Maniac Teaser

When Emma Stone and Jonah Hill first meet at the mysterious pharmaceutical trial run by Justin Theroux‘s Dr. James K. Mantleray, they’re two lonely strangers looking for connection. And against their wildest expectations, they find something even deeper — a “cosmic connection,” as Sally Field‘s Dr. Greta Mantleray hypothesizes in the new teaser.

Soon, Annie and Owen find themselves bumping into each other in each of the alternate realities from their minds, from Lord of the Rings-esque adventures to Jazz Age society soirees. It happens so often that Annie wonders whether they were destined to meet, just as Sonoya Mizuno‘s Dr. Fujita muses over the anomaly.

Here’s the official synopsis for Maniac:

Set in a world somewhat like our world, in a time quite similar to our time, Maniac tells the stories of Annie Landsberg (Emma Stone) and Owen Milgrim (Jonah Hill), two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons.  Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia. Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray (Justin Theroux), claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently. Things do not go as planned.

Maniac will hit Netflix this fall on September 21, 2018.

Porsche

There must be something in the air. On Friday, we brought you news about Romain Dumas and Volkswagen breaking records at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Just five days after Dumas’ made it to the top of the mountain, his colleagues at Porsche Motorsport—the team with which he won Le Mans in 2016—have gone and shattered another record some thought would never be broken. The track is the 12.9-mile (20.8km) Nürburgring Nordschleife, and Porsche factory driver Timo Bernhard drove a Porsche 919 Evo around it in just 5:19.55.

35 years ago

Until now, the fastest man to ever lap the Nordschleife was the late Stefan Bellof. By the time of his run in 1983, the track was considered too dangerous for Formula 1, but little else had changed since the 1920s. Nordschleife was still workable for Group C though, which held its 1983 1000kms of Nürburgring there. During qualifying for the race, Bellof—driving a works Porsche 956—lapped the place in 6:11.13. (There’s no in-car footage of his run, but teammate Derek Bell did carry a camera for a practice lap that isn’t that much slower.)

The fourth season of Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has a premiere date, or at least the first half of it does. The show is taking a different route than it has before, releasing the first six episodes ahead of the rest of the season, and the first half will be available to stream starting May 30th. Jane Krakowski, who plays Jacqueline on the show, told the Today show, “We’re going to shoot them and get them out as quickly as possible so we don’t have to make our fans and audiences wait so long.” Season three debuted in May last year.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and its first three seasons have been consistently nominated for Emmy awards. The show itself has been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series every year while main cast members like Tituss Burgess, Jane Krakowski and Ellie Kemper have garnered Emmy nods as have guest actors Tina Fey and Jon Hamm.

There’s no date set yet for the second half of the season. Netflix says it will debut later in 2018.

Then you look to the right, where an entire living room wall is encased in glass, and filled — floor to ceiling — with trophies of all shapes and sizes, stacked one atop another. There’s so much metallic flare that it’s hard to read the inscriptions. Ladany, 81, says there are roughly 800 trophies inside — a case befitting any university athletic department.

The former Olympian — who was born in Belgrade, fled to Hungary during World War II and moved to Israel when he was 12 — has been collecting trophies and oodles of medals and certificates for more than 60 years. His athletic career began as a runner at age 15, back when long-distance running wasn’t a big thing in Israel. In his youth, people would tell him he was “meshugana,” Yiddish for “crazy.” Some, in fact, still see him this way.

He’s … a little bit crazy — a very tough competitor.

Peter Marlow, former British Olympic race walker

Ladany’s switch from runner to race walker began in 1955 and took years. He never had an official coach and learned everything by reading a book. Ladany remembers the physical pain after completing his first East Regional 50-mile Walking Championship, in New Jersey in 1966, a race he won in 8 hours, 35 minutes. On his way home, he could barely walk to the subway, and it took him and his friend three minutes to cover a 15-yard distance. His wife had to carry their bags, but “we still carried the trophies,” he says, laughing.

Ladany’s most successful year, and among his darkest, was 1972. That year he won the 100-kilometer World Championship, competed in the East Regional for the fifth time, setting a new world record of 7:23:50, and was selected to represent Israel on the country’s Olympic team — the team targeted by terrorists in Munich.

Ladany completed the 50-kilometer race in the Munich Olympics before the massacre, but he came in 19th. How did the man who set the world record for the 50-mile race a few months earlier barely make the top 20? He says that as a longer-distance walker — 50 miles and 100 kilometers — he didn’t pace himself correctly for the shorter walk. He walked too fast during the first 10 kilometers and then couldn’t keep the needed pace. While he didn’t medal in the games, he did survive — one of only a few Israelis to walk away from what’s been dubbed the Munich Massacre. Palestinian militant group Black September entered the Olympic Village on Sept. 5 and began raiding the Israeli dormitories, killing some athletes immediately and taking others hostage.

Many would consider Ladany, also a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, a fortunate man, and he acknowledges that “a person needed a series of lucky events to survive [the Holocaust].” That is how he survived Munich as well: The terrorists bypassed his room — he believes they decided to skip the door because his roommates were part of the shooting team — giving him a chance to escape. Hearing screams next door, he jumped from his window and sounded the alarm.

Ladany with his trophies

Luck may have saved his life, but Ladany says not being an “emotional person” is how he’s managed to thrive. He credits his matter-of-factness with helping him overcome the tragedies to live a normal life and enjoy a successful sporting career. Ladany appears most engaged and emotional, in fact, when talking about his races and trophies, not when referencing the Holocaust — for him, it was the Hungarians who affected him more during World War II, and he still recoils at the sound of Hungarian, not German — or the massacre.

He also loves talking about setting records and continues to train every day. Former British Olympic race walker Peter Marlow, who saw Ladany compete at the 1972 Olympics, says the Israeli is fantastic and obsessed — in a good way — with his sport. “He’s tough … a little bit crazy — a very tough competitor,” Marlow says.

Ladany’s world record in the 50-mile race notably still stands. That event is not part of the Olympic Games, which has helped, but the Israeli notes that he also finished that 1972 race in “excellent time.” Since then, “one rival from England came some 10, 11 minutes close to it,” he adds. But since it’s not an Olympic event, he acknowledges, “the effort that a person should devote to it is not of the same importance as an Olympic distance.” The world athletics governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations, declined to comment as to why the 50-mile race is held so infrequently. Marlow also points out that there aren’t as many race walkers these days. Back in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s, “there were masses and masses of walkers,” Marlow says.

Whether Ladany’s record will ever be broken is anyone’s guess, but he has no plans to slow down. As an octogenarian, he still walks every day. “From year to year now, every kilometer gets longer,” he admits. But he still walks at least 11 kilometers every day, and every year on his birthday, he walks his age in distance. This past April, he walked 81 kilometers, finishing in 14 hours.

The yearly tradition is now a staple of the community. Neighbors and friends come to cheer him on, and some even walk with him. At first he used to hide food and water along his loop, but now his daughter sets up a stand with water, fruit and dates. Despite several health setbacks over the years — a battle with lymphoma, a disk extraction and open-heart surgery — Ladany has recovered every time, walking away a healthy man.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told a conference of law enforcement officials on Sunday that he and his colleagues have been unable to open nearly 7,000 digital devices in the first 11 months of the 2017 fiscal year.

“To put it mildly, this is a huge, huge problem,” Wray said at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Philadelphia, according to the Associated Press. “It impacts investigations across the board—narcotics, human trafficking, counterterrorism, counterintelligence, gangs, organized crime, child exploitation.”

Wray’s remarks come less than two weeks after another top law enforcement official, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, called for “responsible encryption”—a seemingly magical method by which only law enforcement would be able to defeat the encryption on a digitally-locked device.

M Night Shyamalan has announced that Universal Pictures will release his next film, an Unbreakable sequel titled Glass, on January 18, 2019 all over the world. Hit the jump for more info including returning cast/characters.

The filmmaker revealed the news on twitter this morning.

Okay. Here we go. Finished the new script. It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, “Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?” My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film. The iconic Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn. The incomparable @SamuelLJackson will return as Elijah Price/Mr. Glass. The incomparable @SamuelLJackson will return as Elijah Price/Mr. Glass. And the prodigy, @AnyaTaylorJoy will return as Casey Cooke. And the film is called GLASS… Universal Pictures will release #Glass on January 18, 2019 all over the world. How’s that for not keeping a secret!

I have to admit, Glass is a fucking awesome title for an Unbreakable sequel. I’m a huge fan of the original movie and had all but given up hope for Unbreakable 2 until earlier this year when it was revealed Shyamalan was working to make it happen. Of course, the big reveal came in (spoiler alert, highlight to reveal) the ending of Split, which revealed that both films took place in the same universe.

An Unbreakable sequel has been talked about for the last seventeen years with star Bruce Willis initially flaming the fires with the hopes for a trilogy of Unbreakable films. Touchstone Pictures originally turned down the idea for a sequel because of the film’s poor box office performance, but the movie developed a huge fandom on home video.

After the very successful release of Split, Shyamalan expressed hope for a third installment, saying, “I hope [a third Unbreakable film happens]. The answer is yes. I’m just such a wimp sometimes. I don’t know what’s going to happen when I go off in my room, a week after this film opens, to write the script. But I’m going to start writing. [I have] a really robust outline, which is pretty intricate. But now the standards for my outlines are higher. I need to know I’ve won already. I’m almost there but I’m not quite there.”

It’s also interesting to note that Universal Pictures and not Disney’s Touchtone Pictures will be distributing the sequel.

There’s a big new development this season: Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) is going to college.

It’s fairly common for series about teens (Gilmore Girls, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Boy Meets World) to disorient their audiences by carting their characters off to college once they graduate high school. But those shows aren’t about teens who’re actually in their mid-30s, because those characters haven’t been held captive in a bunker where they were sexually traumatized by an opportunistic apocalypse cultist with a striking resemblance to a sexy-but-troubled ’60s ad man. Somehow, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has managed to handle its absurd-with-serious-undertones plot with a good balance of buoyancy, nonsense, and underlying depth. (Well, for the most part.)

The second season got funny-serious in its back half by introducing a plot in which Kimmy begins therapy, with Tina Fey playing her very drunk shrink. From the just-released trailer for the show’s upcoming season (which will be available to stream on Netflix on May 19), it looks like the series will continue forth with the next logical step in Kimmy’s path out of stunted adolescence and repression.

“After high school, most white girls go to college,” Kimmy’s landlady, Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol Kane), tells her when she asks what she should do now that she has her G.E.D. And so she begins school again, where’s she’s confronted with hard truths like the fact that college doesn’t have recess. Oh, and she’s also going through a divorce with her jailed preacher/ex-captor (Jon Hamm).

Meanwhile, Titus (Tituss Burgess), Kimmy’s roommate and perennially underemployed musical theater actor, is now making money by literally making money: illustrating counterfeits. He just has to hone his ear-drawing skills. He’s also concerned that his boyfriend is sleeping with another man — a fear that leads him down a Lemonade-inspired, baseball bat-swinging, sundress-wearing rampage through the New York City streets, bashing the windows of his Tilda Swinton-decorated truck.

Lillian, meanwhile, has broken up with “Bobby Durst” (Fred Armisen), and has lived to tell the tale.
