Jul 27, 2016 4:29 PM UTC Whatever it may say about us, audiences can’t seem to get enough stories about abducted women (see: [_Room_](http://time.com/4074566/brie-larson-finds-a-room-of-her-own/), _Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt_, _Thirteen_, most of the programming on Lifetime), and [M. Night Shyamalan](http://time.com/4026271/honest-trailer-m-night-shyamalan-the-happening/) is only happy to indulge the obsession. The writer-director of _The Sixth Sense_ and _Signs_ adds to the genre with _Split_, a forthcoming thriller about three young women kidnapped by one very bald, very creepy James McAvoy. Sporting the ‘do that’s served him well as [Professor X](http://time.com/4348947/the-x-men-cede-to-special-effects-as-the-franchise-faces-an-absurd-apocalypse/), McAvoy plays a man with 23 personalities, at least one of which is majorly threatening to the young women’s prospects for both escape and survival. The unlucky young women are played by Anya Taylor Joy, who broke out in 2015’s [historical](http://time.com/4219953/true-history-the-witch/) horror film [_The Witch_](http://time.com/4226147/review-the-witch-new-england-folktale/), and Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula, who both star in the Freeform series _Recovery Road_. The film reunites Shyamalan with _Sixth Sense_ producer Jason Blum, and the director also enlisted cinematographer Mike Gioulakis, who helped propel _It Follows_ to one of the most buzzed-about [horror movies](http://time.com/4228245/indie-horror-movies-the-witch/) in recent years. _Split_ hits theaters on Jan. 20, 2017. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4426364/split-trailer-m-night-shyamalan-james-mcavoy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4426364/split-trailer-m-night-shyamalan-james-mcavoy/"},"headline":"James McAvoy Has 23 Personalities in the Trailer for M.
