Taylor Swift’s concert inspires new dark thriller with a twist on “The Silence of the Lambs”

Taylor Swift served as an unexpected muse for M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, “Trap.”

The chilling film is set in the middle of a pop concert where cops set up an elaborate trap to catch a serial killer. Shyamalan shared his unique proposal with Empire magazine: “What if ‘Silence of the Lambs’ happened at a Taylor Swift concert?”

He revealed details about directing an entire concert scene, emphasizing its central role in the film: “I directed an entire concert! And it wasn’t just a background thing. It’s just as important. There’s no fake concert. I love the idea of ​​cinema as a window within windows. One of the reasons to watch the film in the cinema is that there is literally a real concert that you can’t see anywhere except in this film.”

Shyamalan is a strong advocate of originality in cinema and has expressed his commitment to fresh storytelling: “I really believe in the original film. I want the industry to move more towards original storytelling. I think audiences would really like that. Look, I know intellectual property is safe. But it’s really important that we come to the cinema and see something we’ve never seen before. I’m going to keep fighting for that.”

In “Trap,” the character of pop star Lady Raven is played by none other than Shyamalan’s own daughter, Saleka Shyamalan, whose budding music career also played a role in shaping the plot.

Josh Hartnett, who stars in the film, previously described it to IndieWire as “very dark” and stressed his desire for variety in his roles: “It’s a turning point. But I try to make all of my roles turning points. If you play the same thing over and over again, it gets boring for the audience.”

The Hollywood actor praised Shyamalan’s artistic ability and enthused: “Working with M. Night was one of the best experiences of my career. I think he is a true artist in the truest sense of the word.”

He expressed his excitement about the project and promised fans that they would love it: “And I think people are going to be really surprised and excited by the film we’re making. It’s very bizarre, very dark and wild.”

Film buffs will soon be able to see the mysterious film when it hits theaters in August. Warner Bros Pictures is making it available as part of a long-term first-look agreement with the studio.

Previously, Warner Bros Pictures’ top executives Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy had paid rave reviews to the director in a statement: “Night is one of the most iconic and influential directors of his generation and an auteur in the truest sense of the word.”

They further praised him, noting: “From ‘The Sixth Sense’ to ‘Split’ to his latest horror film ‘Knock at the Cabin’, he is one of the few directors in contemporary cinema whose name alone promises a bold, singular vision, a captivating, original style of storytelling and a provocative, surprising and totally unique experience.”

In their joint statement, they expressed their excitement: “We couldn’t be happier to welcome him to the Warner Bros. family and look forward to an exciting collaboration with Night and the entire Blinding Edge team.”
