To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his work, Shyamalan has recently shared on Twitter a commemorative photo of him on set. However, this is not the classic group photo with the cast of the film and surrounded by the other actors of the crew, but a more personal photo flanked by his two daughters, at the time just children, who had joined him on the set.
This is a picture of me on the set directing the scene where Elijah falls down the subway stairs in #Unbreakable 20 years ago. The older daughter is now a professional musician & the one in diapers just directed two episodes of @Servant Happy 20th anniversary to crew & cast. pic.twitter.com/cS9LwHgqjw

Today M. Night Shyamalan also has a third daughter, while the second nominated is Ishana Night Shyamalan, who followed in her father's footsteps as a young director; prior to his work for Servant, a TV series on Apple TV +, he directed the music video of the song "Clarity" by his older sister Saleka.
For the uninitiated, Unbreakable has long been an opera stand -alone, only to be revealed after more than 15 years as the first of a larger series with the addition of Split in 2016. The worlds and protagonists of the two films finally came together in Glass of 2019, completing the so-called Eastrail 177 Trilogy.
M. Night Shyamalan's trilogy is definitely a series of films to recover and keep in your collection . You can easily do it on Amazon at the following links: Unbreakable, Split, Glass.
