M. Night Shyamalan's ‘Trap' Has A New Trailer [Update]

UPDATE: Here’s the latest trailer, via Warner Bros.

EARLIER: Warner Bros shuffled deck yesterday, and one of their moves involved M. Night Shyamalan’s “Trap.” The film was originally aiming for an August 9 release date, but now Warner Bros. has updated their schedule, and in the process decided to bump “Trap” up to August 2nd. We’re going to get to see this one a week earlier than expected.

“Trap” take place at a pop star’s concert, the performer is played by his daughter, Saleka Shyamalan. Last month, a trailer was released for the film. The Hitchcock inspirations are again very much present here.

Described as a “thriller,” “Trap” stars Josh Harnett as a dad taking his teenage daughter to a concert. Leaving his seat for the bathroom, Hartnett’s character notices a heavy police presence around the venue and finds out that the concert is a sting operation to catch a serial killer on the loose and intel suggests that he might be at the concert. PLOT TWIST, it turns out, Hartnett is the killer.

Don’t expect a Shyamalan-esque twist in this one. A recent test screening of the film had an attendee emailing me that the only twist in the film was the one revealed in the trailer. There’s nothing else. It’s a mostly straightforward cat and mouse thriller.
