M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, “Trap,” is set to premiere on August 2, 2024. This psychological thriller stars Josh Hartnett as Cooper, a father attending a pop concert with his daughter, Riley, played by Saleka Shyamalan. The film delves into a sinister plot where the concert serves as a trap to capture a serial killer known as “The Butcher,” inspired by real-life sting operations.

The cast also includes Hayley Mills, Alison Pill, and Ariel Donoghue. Saleka Shyamalan, the director’s daughter, not only acts in the film but also contributes as a songwriter, penning fourteen original songs that enhance the film’s emotional depth. Her dual role adds a unique layer to the narrative, blending her musical talents with her acting skills.

“Trap” is produced under Shyamalan’s Blinding Edge Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Notably, filming resumed during the SAG-AFTRA strike due to Shyamalan’s independent financing, allowing him to continue production amidst industry challenges.

The director emphasized the importance of original storytelling in cinema, contrasting it with the industry’s increasing reliance on established intellectual properties. This commitment to originality is evident in “Trap,” which combines suspense with a vibrant concert backdrop.
