VOTD: Patton Oswalt Pitches His Dream Sequel: ‘Unbreakable 2’ (And ‘Unbreakable 3’)
IfM. Night Shyamalancan’t do it, maybePatton Oswaltcan. The pop-culture junkie and stand up comedian has effectively pitched one crazy, out-there movie in the form ofthe ultimate Disney mash-up. Today he’s pitching something a bit more manageable: anUnbreakablesequel. Oswalt appeared onScreen Junkiesto talk about his dream to see M. Night Shyamalan’sUnbreakable 2and, as expected, it’s pretty great. Check out the Patton OswaltUnbreakable 2video below.

Patton Oswalt Unbreakable 2 Pitch
Basically, Oswalt’s ideas are these. Not a dream sequel, a dream trilogy. In the first sequel, since Mr. Glass is in an asylum, David Dunn realizes that Glass has found other “Unbreakables” around the world. This evidence is seen at the end of the first movie. So basicallyUnbreakable 2is a recruitment of the real life Justice League. It ends with Dunn killing, or allowing one of his members to be killed, thereby putting everything he believes into question.
Unbreakable 3would see Mr. Glass get out of the asylum. While in there, he’s been meeting new and interesting villains so he’s got his own super team. The main plot would then involve them trying to steal David Dunn’s blood so Mr. Glass could become Unbreakable.
Really fun ideas here and there’s more in the video above. M. Night Shyamalan continues to say that he’d like to make anUnbreakable 2but with each movie he does release, that seems less and less likely. Later this year, he returns to his small, thriller roots with a movie calledThe Visit. (Originally calledSundowning.)

What do you think of Patton Oswalt’s pitch for theUnbreakabletrilogy? How would you do it?
