And when my mother asked me what I was doing, I told her the new story [Don’t Breathe], and she was like, “Oh. It’s like Wait Until Dark in reverse.” I was like, “What?” She goes, “This Audrey Hepburn movie. She was nominated for an Oscar for it.” I was like, “Fuck? What’s that thing?” And I went and watched it. But I didn’t know about it,” confessed Alvarez. Alvarez actually wasn’t pissed at that fact. He wasn’t angry he possibly copied another’s film.

Witness The First Trailer For M. Night Shyamalan’s Split Starring James McAvoy

M. Night Syamalan’s latest film, Split, a psychological-supernatural-thriller, is already getting a lot of attention. Talented actor James McAvoy stars as a kidnapper with a serious case of Dissociative Identity Disorder. In the film’s first trailer we learn that McAvoy’s character has kidnapped three young women and taken them to his lair. As if things couldn’t get any worse for the women, they soon discover that their captor has several split-personalities, including those of the Kevin, the villain persona, and a woman and a 9-year-old boy. It’s revealed that he has 23 personalities in all. Kevin tells his prisoners that “beast” is coming for them and insists that the creature is very real.

Anya Taylor Joy, Betty Buckley, Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula co-star in Split. Shymalalan, Marc Bienstock and Blumhouse’s Jason Blum are
