Let’s just put it this way: If it seems like the marketing has already given away a major plot point in an M. Night Shyamalan film, viewers can likely rest assured that there will be far bigger twists to come. Still, we can definitely say that most of us wouldn’t have seen the reveal coming that Josh Hartnett’s loving and slightly silly father was actually the killer in question all along. With that out of the way, however, there’s just no telling how the rest of “Trap” will unfold.
“Trap” comes from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, who has since left his familiar home with Universal Pictures for the (debatably) greener pastures over at Warner Bros. with a first-look deal signed early last year. The new film will be his first production stemming from that lucrative deal, along with his usual Philadelphia-based production company Blinding Edge. At the time, Shyamalan described the big move accordingly:
“Where I write and direct is my home. Disney and Universal, where I’ve made most of my films, will always be home and family to me. Warner Bros. has a storied history of cinema. Through its recent experiences, the company has rediscovered its love and appreciation for filmmakers, and the impact of the theatrical experience. We all win when movies succeed in theaters. I believe David Zaslav, Michael De Luca, and Pam Abdy have dedicated themselves to unique filmmakers, and to filling theaters all around the world for years to come.”
Shyamalan will spring “Trap” into theaters on August 9, 2024.
