Speaking to IndieWire during the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Hartnett described his upcoming Shyamalan film ‘Trap’ as “very bizarre, very dark, and wild.”
Hartnett said, “Well, it is a pivot, yeah, but in all my movies, I try to make all my roles pivots because I think you’re playing the same thing again and again and it gets boring to the audience.”
“So, yeah, I mean, working with M Night was one of the best experiences of my career. I think he’s a true artist in the capital. I sense the word, and I think people are going to be really surprised and excited about the movie we made. It’s very bizarre, very dark, and it’s wild, so I hope you enjoy it.”
The film is directed and written by Shyamalan and also stars Saleka. Shyamalan, along with his Philadelphia-based production company Blinding Edge Pictures, led by president of production Ashwin Rajan, will develop original projects for the filmmaker to produce and/or direct for Warner Bros Pictures and New Line Cinema, divisions of WBPG production.
‘Trap’ will hit theaters on August 2, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
