FILM 1831: UNBREAKABLE

FILM 1831: UNBREAKABLE

TRIVIA: Writer and Director M. Night Shyamalan always had Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson in mind to play the roles of David Dunn and Elijah Price.

Of all the films he's made, this is M. Night Shyamalan's personal favorite.

One of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films.

Charlayne Woodard, who plays the mother to Samuel L. Jackson's character, is actually almost a full five years younger than her on-screen son.

The scene where David's son tries to shoot him to prove he has super powers is based on the popular urban legend that George Reeves was once confronted by a child who asked to shoot him with a real gun while he was in his Superman costume. According to the legend, Reeves, just like David, got the boy to put the gun down by convincing him it would ricochet and hurt someone else.

DIRECTOR CAMEO: M. Night Shyamalan: Stadium drug dealer.

DIRECTOR TRADEMARK: M. Night Shyamalan: [Philadelphia] Set in Philadelphia, like most of his films.
