Night Shyamalan, tells the story of a father and daughter who attend a pop concert where they realize they\u2019re at the center of a dark and sinister event. How did this thriller about a serial killer trapped in a concert venue begin?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3hWIlnbadPg?si=Mpa4Kpn3ijLKv7n7\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Trap\u2019 was created by me and my daughter Saleka from our conversations together about music and movies,\u201d Shyamalan proudly shares. Saleka, who plays Lady Raven in the film, also wrote the fictional artist\u2019s songs featured in the concert.<\/p>\n<p>Saleka, a professional singer-songwriter, says that her dad\u2019s passion for filmmaking is one of the purest things she\u2019s ever seen anyone have a passion for. \u201cWhat\u2019s interesting to me is that he tells such dark stories, because I think he is such a positive person,\u201d she says. \u201cYou see that positivity in the context of these dark situations, and you know that he thinks the universe is good. It\u2019s a key throughline in a lot of his movies. And I think this is another example of that. It\u2019s beautiful to watch. That makes me feel safe on set, and it makes a lot of people feel happy and joyous to be here. It\u2019s like we\u2019re living the dream. He feels that and so we remember that every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_262088\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-262088\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-262088\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trap_Josh-Hartnett-and-Ariel-Donoghue.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trap_Josh-Hartnett-and-Ariel-Donoghue.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trap_Josh-Hartnett-and-Ariel-Donoghue-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trap_Josh-Hartnett-and-Ariel-Donoghue-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trap_Josh-Hartnett-and-Ariel-Donoghue-100x54.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trap_Josh-Hartnett-and-Ariel-Donoghue-696x376.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-262088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Hartnett and Ariel Donoghue in \u201cTrap,\u201d in cinemas July 31.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Josh Hartnett, who plays Cooper, also has great respect for Shyamalan, especially because of the way the director works. \u201cI was given a big ream of the storyboards, which is basically the film,\u201d shares Hartnett. \u201cYou could flip through it and you could see every shot\u2026 for someone to come that prepared and then show up and actually live within it\u2026 I think he does that because he feels what the actors are going through. You can see him behind the camera, really experiencing it, wanting to be there 100%, to see how it will be experienced by the audience. Later, he can then put it together in a way that\u2019s going to be most effective for the audience. It just shows what a master he is of this craft. And I think because of all that, he really enjoys the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shyamalan is also all praises of Hartnett. For the role of Cooper, Shyamalan wanted an actor who is a big risk taker. \u201cWhen I met Josh, he looked me in the eye, and I just knew he was ready to do anything \u2013 there was an energy, an electricity coming off of him,\u201d says the director. \u201cI think for audiences, one of the great reasons to come to this movie is seeing the amazing performance that Josh gives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrap,\u201d distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros.
