I Talked To M. Night Shyamalan About Setting A Horror Movie At A Pop Singer’s Show, And As A Frequent Concertgoer, I’m Intrigued

Quick Glance: M. Night Shyamalan and the Concert Culture

In his new film "Trap," M. Night Shyamalan is revealing one of his signature twists to the audience earlier than usual.

The thriller features Josh Hartnett as a father taking his teenage daughter to a pop concert reminiscent of the blockbuster tours of summer 2023.

Shyamalan drew inspiration from the concert culture, particularly from his daughter Saleka's experience as an artist signed to Columbia Records and performing as Lady Raven.

The film incorporates an actual concert as a main set piece, drawing from 'Purple Rain,' offering a unique experience that immerses viewers in the story.
