Bruce Willis as David Dunn looking downward in Unbreakable
Summary M. Night Shyamalan discusses his frustrations with poor marketing and initial audience reception to Unbreakable. Before superhero movies dominated Hollywood, Shyamalan's 2000 film told its own grounded superhero origin story with David Dunn and Elijah Glass , which went on to become a cult classic.
Then other people were coming and going, "That wasn't scary." And I was like, "Who said it was going to be that? Who said it was going to be scary?" And so, a really interesting lesson about, if I am going to be the purveyor of original stories for my life, I have to get partners that understand that we're going to reinvent every single time, and we should celebrate that.
Unbreakable is still ahead of the superhero stories that have come out since through its ability to prioritize a character-driven story over spectacle, even in the third act.
