James McAvoy’s Character Reveals Multiple Personalities In The New Poster For Split

One of the films we are most looking forward to in 2017 is M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller ‘Split’, starring James McAvoy as a kidnapper with split personalities, 23 of them to be exact. Today, we have the brand new poster. McAvoy has starred in many great roles, such as his lead role as Victor in 2015’s Victor Frankenstein , Charles Xavier in X-Men Days of Future Past and X-Men First Class, and Wesley in ‘Wanted’. McAvoy also co-starred for a season on Shameless (UK) as Kevin. But his character in ‘Split’ is one of his most challenging roles to date. In the film, McAvoy’s character, Kevin, 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, a villain persona, a woman and a 9-year-old boy. It’s revealed that he has 23 personalities in all.

John Carpenter Gives An Update On His Reboot Of Halloween

It was reported that Carpenter would serve as executive producer and possibly create the score. Which was huge news, seeing that Carpenter has not been involved with the franchise in decades. Unfortunately, the film hasn’t moved any further along than it was back in October when Jason Blum stated they were still looking for the best way to approach the reboot. During a conversation with Dark Universe, Carpenter revealed that it hasn’t gotten any closer to filming. I’ve known Jason [Blum] for a while, he came to me and said ‘How do you feel about this now that rights have diverted?’ and I said, ‘Sure, why not?
