Universal Pictures has released a Glass trailer teaser for the highly anticipated new film from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. The thriller is a follow-up to both Shyamalan’s 2000 film Unbreakable and his 2016 film Split, which in its final moments was revealed to be taking place in the same universe as Unbreakable. Glass finds Bruce Willis reprising his role as David Dunn, who is now on the hunt for the superhuman figure of The Beast (James McAvoy) in a series of escalating encounters. Meanwhile, Samuel L. Jackson’s villainous Elijah Price hasn’t gone anywhere, and still holds secrets crucial to the outcome of this intense showdown.

This trailer teaser is kind of a cruel tease as it doesn’t really offer up any footage, but instead relies on a few pieces of dialogue and some curious visuals to entice fans. We don’t have to wait long, however, as the full trailer is set to be unveiled at Comic-Con on Friday and will be made available online either at the same time or shortly thereafter.

For now, check out the Glass trailer teaser below, followed by some high-resolution images. The film also stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Sarah Paulson, Spencer Treat Clark, and Charlayne Woodard. Written and directed by Shyamalan, Glass opens in theaters on January 18, 2019.

Here’s the official synopsis for Glass:

Night Shyamalan brings together the narratives of two of his standout originals—2000’s Unbreakable, from Touchstone, and 2016’s Split, from Universal—in one explosive, all-new comic-book thriller: Glass.

 

From Unbreakable, Bruce Willis returns as David Dunn as does Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price, known also by his pseudonym Mr. Glass.  Joining from Split are James McAvoy, reprising his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within, and Anya Taylor-Joy as Casey Cooke, the only captive to survive an encounter with The Beast.

 

Following the conclusion of Split, Glass finds Dunn pursuing Crumb’s superhuman figure of The Beast in a series of escalating encounters, while the shadowy presence of Price emerges as an orchestrator who holds secrets critical to both men.

 

Joining the all-star cast are Unbreakable’s Spencer Treat Clark and Charlayne Woodard, who reprise their roles as Dunn’s son and Price’s mother, as well as Golden Globe Award winner Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story series).

 

This riveting culmination of his worldwide blockbusters is produced by Shyamalan and Blumhouse Production’s Jason Blum, who also produced the writer/director’s previous two films for Universal.  They produce again with Ashwin Rajan and Marc Bienstock, and Steven Schneider and Kevin Frakes, who executive produce.  Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum also serve as executive producers.

 

A Blinding Edge Pictures and Blumhouse production, Glass will be released by Universal Pictures in North America on January 18, 2019, and by Buena Vista International abroad.
