Josh Hartnett gets caught in a Trap in new M. Night Shyamalan trailer

M. Night Shyamalan's Trap, starring Josh Hartnett, premieres in theaters August 9

What if the public event you were attending was entirely a setup just to getcha? That’s the nightmare of paranoiacs and Truman Show fans everywhere, and also the premise of M. Night Shyamalan ’s new film Trap , premiering in theaters August 9. A new trailer for the film takes advantage of star Josh Hartnett ’s good-guy image by casting him as the dad-joke-cracking sweetheart taking his daughter to see her favorite artist.

You may think that’s giving too much of the movie away, but the story isn’t “Who is The Butcher?” The story is, “Will The Butcher be able to escape the trap, and be able to do so without letting his daughter know he’s an evil villain?” According to IndieWire, Shyamalan said Trap was inspired by Purple Rain . The director staged an actual concert befitting of The Eras Tour to film Trap, but he began conceptualizing the movie years before this summer’s big blockbuster tours.
