M. Night Shyamalan’s new project on the 2024 movie schedule, "Trap," is already generating buzz. The trailer for "Trap" depicts a dad, played by Josh Hartnett, accompanying his young daughter to a concert. Things go awry when it's revealed that the entire concert is actually a sting operation. The twist? Hartnett’s character is actually the serial killer the police are trying to catch. What makes this an even more intriguing premise is that it was apparently inspired by a real-life event that the filmmaker put his own spin on.
In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, "The Sixth Sense" director opened up about his new film, and why he chose to set his thriller at a concert. Shyamalan explained that he had several inspirations: his daughter’s budding pop star career, the fanfare at Taylor Swift concerts, and a bizarre story of a sting operation called ‘Operation Flagship’ from 1985. Apparently, a bunch of fugitives were caught by being offered free NFL tickets, and they were arrested once they arrived at the game.
