M. Night Shyamalan Likens His Movie ‘Trap’ To A Taylor Swift Concert

M. Night Shyamalan is back with a concept so wild, you might need a tinfoil hat to believe it! The maestro of mind-bending movies, famous for making us question reality in *The Sixth Sense*, is now asking, “What if The Silence of the Lambs happened at a Taylor Swift concert?” I know, I know, youโ€™re already intrigued.

Picture this: Itโ€™s August 9th, and youโ€™re settling into your theater seat, probably regretting that extra-large soda, and up pops Josh Hartnett. Not just any Josh Hartnett, but a dad who thought he was just going to have a nice, calm evening at a pop concert with his teenage daughter, played by Ariel Donoghue. Except, plot twist! Theyโ€™re actually at the center of a SWAT teamโ€™s elaborate game of hide-and-seek with a serial killer. Whoโ€™s the pop star serenading this chaotic event? None other than Shyamalanโ€™s own daughter, Saleka Shyamalan, rocking out as Lady Raven.

This bonkers storyline was partially inspired by the real-life circus that was the 1985 โ€œOperation Flagship.โ€ Picture this: a bunch of criminals, lured into a stadium with free NFL tickets, only to be ambushed by U.S. Marshals and DC police. They showed up for a game but left in handcuffs. Classic.

Shyamalan didnโ€™t just direct a movie; he orchestrated an entire concert within it. No green screens or background filler here. This is a bona fide concert, where you might even find yourself forgetting youโ€™re watching a thriller and not just a killer (pun intended) live performance. Heโ€™s really going all out, blending the lines between cinema and reality until youโ€™re not sure if youโ€™re watching a film or attending a concert while dodging serial killers.

โ€œI directed an entire concert!โ€ Shyamalan boasted, probably while sipping tea with a pinky out. โ€œItโ€™s not just a thing in the background. Itโ€™s equally important. There is no pretend concert going on. I love the idea of cinema as windows within windows.โ€ Windows within windows? Inception who?

And then, he drops the wisdom bomb: โ€œI really do believe in the original movie. I want the industry to move towards more original storytelling. I think audiences would really like it.โ€ Take that, endless sequels and reboots! Shyamalanโ€™s fighting the good fight for fresh ideas, even if they sound like the fever dream of a caffeine-addled screenwriter.

So, brace yourselves for *Trap* โ€“ a movie that promises to be a mind-bending, genre-blending rollercoaster, proving once again that Shyamalan is the master of making us question everything, including whether weโ€™re at a movie or a concert or maybe both. August 9th canโ€™t come soon enough.
