‘TRAP' TRAILER: JOSH HARTNETT GETS CORNERED AT A CONCERT IN M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN THRILLER

Warner Bros has unveiled the first trailer for Trap, the latest twisty thriller from two-time Oscar nominee M. Night Shyamalan, which is slated for release on August 9.

Starring Josh Hartnett and Saleka Shyamalan, the film watches as a man and his daughter attend a pop concert where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event. Shyamalan directed from his own script and produced alongside Marc Bienstock and Ashwin Rajan.

While Shyamalan had previously released his films through Universal, his new film comes amid a multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement with Warner Bros Pictures Group, on which we were first to report.

Thus far seeing his films gross over $3.3 billion at the worldwide box office, his latest effort was Uni’s Knock at the Cabin, which marked his seventh title to debut at No. 1.

Trap is set to open against Neon’s Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer, Amazon MGM’s boxing drama The Fire Inside starring Brian Tyree Henry, Sony’s It Ends With Us, and Lionsgate’s long-awaited adaptation of the video game Borderlands.

Coming off success with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and soon to release Luca Guadagnino’s tennis love triangle pic Challengers internationally, Warner Bros has a stacked slate for the summer, which also includes Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (May 24), Ishana Night Shyamalan’s debut feature The Watchers (June 14), Kevin Costner’s two-partner Horizon: An American Saga (June 28, August 16), Twisters (July 19), and at the tail end, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (September 6).
