Exclusive ‘Glass’ Featurette Takes You Behind the Scenes of the Comic Book Color Palette

When M. Night Shyamalan delivered audiences Unbreakable in 2000, many fans were anticipating another twisted horror story like his breakout hit The Sixth Sense, only to learn it was an unconventional story about superheroes. The film’s moody color palette was meant to reflect the colors one would see in the pages of a comic book, a trend which the filmmaker continued in Split, this time offering much more muted tones to convey the terrors that lurked in the darkness. With Glass, the filmmaker continued to bring in the unique colors one might find in the pages, all while balancing each scene’s tone with the personalities expressed by the characters. Learn more about this process in the behind-the-scenes featurette from Glass above, which is out now on Digital HD and on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on April 16th.

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.
