Article Summary
- Warner Bros. drops first trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's 'Trap', out August 9th.
- The trailer may reveal the twist, but Shyamalan fans expect deeper layers.
- Josh Hartnett stars, bringing intrigue as a sinister character in the film.
- 'Trap' ends the summer with a dark, concert-set narrative by August 9th, 2024.
While attending CinemaCon this year, director M. Night Shyamalan teased his new movie in real time…sort of. He described being at an event when a singer came out and started to perform, and his daughter, Saleka Shyamalan, came out and did a brief live performance for us. We then got the trailer for his new film Trap. The trailer that was released today is the same one that we saw last week, and it's probably going to leave Shyamalan fans baffled because it seems to give away the big twist. However, we know that Shyamalan makes films with multiple layers, so whatever we think the setup of this film is, it probably isn't. That being said, the idea presented in this trailer is already pretty interesting, and even if it doesn't have that secondary twist we expect from this director, the idea alone could stand up on its own. This one will be one of our August movies, looking to end the summer season on, hopefully, a high note as we head into the fall. Also, Josh Hartnett is underrated, and it will be fun to see him play such a sinister role.
