James McAvoy Teams Up With M. Night Shyamalan for Split

Shyamalan is a master of the horror genre and Split is yet another one to make us piddle ourselves.

James McAvoy will keep audiences tripping on eggshells as we will have to battle and confront each of his 23 personalities.
This character will only exhibit McAvoy's incredible manner of capturing various different personas. As is the trend with major blockbusters having the female protagonist being kidnapped/going missing (Gone Girl, Room, The Girl On The Train, etc), Shaymalan is the latest to indulge in this money-maker. Split sees psychopath McAvoy abduct three young women in a bid to play his torturous, terrifying game.
Split is expected to land in cinemas in January 2017.
