There are several shots in the movie showing a worn [movie] marquee advertising a film called "See You Next n sday." The inclusion of the phrase "See you next Wednesday" is a trademark of director John Landis (he has incorporated it into nearly all of the movies and many of the music videos he has directed). Landis, in turn, took the line from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

Your Samuel L. Jackson-instincts should inform that the actor would be game to reprise Mr. Glass, and he is. And Bruce Willis has stated his love of the film in the past and disappointment with critics’ lazy checklist with The Sixth Sense. 



Though inherent, the original film never reveals the full powers of Willis’s protagonist, David Dunn, meanwhile 



Mr. Glass’s descent into evil 

has many sinister miles left in the [tank]. 



It will take more than wistful soundbites and warm spirits to bring Unbreakable 2 to fruition, not to mention the tentative title, but if Hellboy—financially, an apt comparison; in terms of marquee value and quality, not so much—can warrant a sequel, 



I don’t think Shyamalan’s is a pipe dream. 



If he truly wants it. Then again, if the sequel rights are parked at Disney…umm, good luck?
