Glass The third film in the Unbreakable, Split trilogy of films, Anya Taylor-Joy may be a supporting character but she's no less important than the other major players. David Dunn (Bruce Willis) manages to track down Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy). However, Dunn sees his plans for retribution upended by Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) as the three men soon find themselves trapped in a mental hospital. Taylor-Joy ultimately enters the proceedings as the one person who might be able to help (and stop) the evil Kevin Wendell Crumb and his 24 personalities. As I mentioned, Glass is the coup de grace on the films in this "superhero" trilogy from M. Night Shyamalan. While the film itself might seem flawed (and muddied by an ending that doesn't exactly work), what can't be denied are the strengths of all the performances here. It is in fact a testament to Anya Taylor-Joy to be able to stand out, given the amount of screen time she has compared to Willis, Jackson, and McAvoy.

A few years ago, Anna Paquin wasn’t happy. She was traveling all the time for work, like a gypsy, and had become sick of always being cast as the brooding smart chick in indie movies. “I was looking for something different, a challenge,” she says. “I had done a lot of twisty and tortured. I wanted to try something new.” That’s why she jumped at the chance to play Sookie Stackhouse, the Southern telepath-waitress on True Blood, HBO’s vampire soap opera—now a hugely successful show, with more than 12 million viewers per week. “Sookie is sweet, good-natured and can kick your ass while wearing high-heeled pumps and a sundress,” says Paquin, 28. “That’s not how people saw me.” She snickers a little, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “See, the girl with dark hair is supposed to be serious,” she says. “But it only takes one person with a little bit of imagination to go, ‘You know, pale-skin … [Read more...] about The Joy of Vampire Sex: The Schlocky, Sensual Secrets Behind the Success of ‘True Blood’
