What's an M. Night Shyamalan movie without a twist? Here's everything you need to know about the unexpected ending of his latest film, "Trap."

The Twist In M. Night Shyamalan's Trap, Explained

Entertainment Weekly

Josh Hartnett is still a charmer. Almost 25 years after his early heartthrob turns in The Virgin Suicides, The Faculty, and Here on Earth, Hartnett now plays Cooper, a parent and serial killer, in Trap. In the latest goosebump-inducing thriller from M. Night Shyamalan, Cooper takes his daughter to a concert by pop artist Lady Raven, who is played by the director's real-life daughter Saleka Shyamalan, only to find that the entire event has been set up so that authorities can catch his alter ego, The Butcher.

Josh Hartnett knows Trap director M. Night Shyamalan's daughter better than him: 'How do you know that?'

	“It was lovely to be on a movie set again,” the British actress tells The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s more space, you can take deeper breaths… And certainly, on a movie of Night’s, you don’t rush.”

M. Night Shyamalan Cast Josh Hartnett in ‘Trap’ Because He’d ‘Risk Everything’: ‘Danger Is What Really Drives Him’

Audiences' hearts did plenty skipping of beats during M. Night Shyamalan's latest blockbuster Trap, but an unexpected cause for that is seeing the return of former Disney actress Hayley Mills on the big screen. Mills stars as Dr. Josephine Grant, a former FBI profiler brought out of retirement to catch a killer. In an interview with Empire, Shyamalan said his pitch for the movie was: “What if The Silence of the Lambs happened at a Taylor Swift concert?” As it follows Cooper (Josh Harnett) attending a pop concert (with Shyamalan's own daughter Saleka playing pop star Lady Raven) with his daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue), the movie comes with a sinister twice (what Shyamalan movie doesn't?)

In 1981, pop-music sensation Andy Gibb was at the top of the charts. The younger brother of Barry, Robin, and Maurice, a.k.a. The Bee Gees, commenced a tumultuous romance with actress Victoria Principle, who played Pam Ewing on Dallas, TV's then-Number 1 prime-time series.

Kevin Roberts styles himself as a modern Prometheus, and thinks he’s here to bring the fire. The president of the Heritage Foundation’s forthcoming book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, opens with metaphors about fires, claiming that in 2020 “our country went up in flames” and now it’s time to “fight fire with fire.” Using the massive California forest fires of 2020 as a stark, vivid metaphor, Roberts argues that America’s institutions have become “deadwood in a forest,” and that conservatives “can’t merely continue putting out fires”; they must be “brave enough to go on the offense,...

The Blumhouse method fits Netflix very well. The streamer needs countless hours of content, and the studio is happy to provide it. Jason Blum and his hired hands throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. It results in a few good films, but the lion’s share of Blumhouse’s output is boring. Garbage like Truth or Dare just washes off of Jason Blum’s back, but it’s worth paying attention to the project. People around the world evidently agree, because Truth or Dare is currently the tenth most-watched movie on Netflix.

The life story behind writer/director M. Night Shyamalan is unlike that of any other major filmmaker working today. Born in India but brought to the United States when he was only six weeks old, Shyamalan wanted to become a filmmaker ever since he got his first Super 8 camera as a child. He had released two little-seen features when in 1999, he made “The Sixth Sense,” a psychological thriller that was successful beyond his wildest dreams, earning over $672 million and bringing him critical acclaim, including nominations from BAFTA, the Golden Globes, Writers Guild, Directors Guild, as well as two...

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

	As a filmmaker, M. Night Shyamalan has been a household name for 25 years, starting in 1999, when he ruled the end of the summer with “The Sixth Sense.” You can basically divide the Shyamalan oeuvre into four periods. There was the era when he was an A-list visionary who some compared to Spielberg (a period that includes his finest film, “Unbreakable,” as well as “Signs” and “The Village”). There was the era when he began to lapse into self-parody (“Lady in the Water,” “The Happening”), and when the whole notion of the Shyamalan twist ending became less an entertainer’s...
