M. Night Shyamalan apparently gets asked questions about doing a sequel to his film Unbreakable all the time. While not a sequel, the origins of his latest movie Devil come from Unbreakable.
“I cannibalized the idea for the sequel to Unbreakable for one of the ‘Night Chronicles,'” revealed Shyamalan. “It was such a cool idea for a villain, and it was actually originally in the script for Unbreakable, and it was too much. There were too many villains, so I pulled this villain out and was like, ‘I’ll make this the second flick.'”
While Shyamalan became sidetracked and focused on things other than an Unbreakable sequel, he stuck with the idea of the villain. “I fleshed it out more and more, and thought, ‘This could be a standalone movie,'” he said. “I’ll just say it: the third ‘Night Chronicles’ movie is what would have been the sequel [to Unbreakable]. So now I need to come up with a new idea.”
