"Split" sequel "Glass" will be more expensive than its predecessor, which was made with a budget of USD nine million and grossed USD 275 million at the global box office.

In an interview with Collider, producer Jason Blum was asked if the budget for "Glass" might be bigger as the follow up, apart from James McAvoy, will also feature Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson.

"The budget is more traditional, still by Hollywood standards a very low budget, but it is not USD five million," he said.

Blum also revealed that he has not yet seen the script as director M Night Shyamalan is still writing, but they are planning to begin production this year.
 

"We have a release date in January of 2019, so we have to start shooting pretty soon," he said.
