An Oral History of Split : M. Night Shyamalan and James Mc Avoy Talk Finding Horror Gold in the Mind
After his first Fresh hit in years (the small but mighty The Visit), M. Night Shyamalan mounted his unofficial comeback with 2017s Certified Fresh horror breakout Split, about a man named Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) and his 23 different identities. The character was actually supposed to appear in Unbreakable, but Shyamalan had written him out of the script for balanceand saved him for a rainy day. In this special oral history of the film, Shyamalan and McAvoy reveal the road to Kevins second chance at the big screen, and the road McAvoy took to finding the perfect way to play Kevin (and Patricia, and Hedwig, and the Beast). The actor would go on to give one of the most acclaimed performances of the year, one which Shyamalan reveals was even more magical to witness up close as it was happening on set.
