Josh Hartnett Shares Insight Into His Trap Character & Emotional Journey
Summary Cooper seems like the average father bringing his daughter, Riley, to a massive pop concert in Trap. While both Cooper and Riley appear excited to share this experience, things take a turn when Cooper learns the entire concert is a trap set by the police to catch a notorious serial killer, The Butcher. With his darkest secret in danger of being revealed, Cooper will do whatever it takes to avoid detection and escape this concert unscathed.
Josh Hartnett Teases His Trap Character Is "A Facade That He Then Learns Might Not Just Be A Facade" Hartnett plays Cooper in Trap, but the heart of the movie is the father-daughter relationship between Cooper and Riley. Hartnett teased how that dynamic evolves for Cooper throughout the movie as the stakes rise with the cat-and-mouse game.
I wanted to give him the most extreme and interesting version of this character that felt credible. It needed to feel like it was one guy and it needed to feel like all of these different layers were part of one. Not just like he was putting on these things for the sake of it, but like a need.
But then for them to make that go on over and over and over again and have the audience interact in the way that they did, it's quite a challenge. We shot this for almost a month in that one location. So a lot of the kids were young who were there as they are at a Taylor Swift concert or whatever, and they had to know all the lyrics and they had to be enthusiastic.
