A father goes with his teen daughter to her idol’s pop concert, where they realize they’re at the heart of a dark and sinister event. “Trap” is the upcoming American psychological thriller film written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan.

The film stars Josh Hartnett as Cooper, a serial killer dubbed ’The Buthcer’, Ariel Donoghue as Riley, Cooper’s teenage daughter who is a fan of Lady Raven, Saleka Shyamalan as Lady Raven. With Hayley Mills and Allison Pill.

Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka, stars as Lady Raven, the singer whose concert the characters attend. She wrote fourteen songs for the film, designed diegetically to match the action onscreen, while her father wrote the script.

Saleka previously collaborated with her father by contributing to the soundtracks for the film Old (2021) and the series Servant.[Shyamalan was inspired to incorporate musical elements by visiting Saleka on tour and Prince’s musical film Purple Rain (1984).

Saleka also noted that they grew up watching Bollywoodcinema, in which music often plays a key role in the storytelling. She described Trap as a “Shyamalan American version of a Bollywood movie that is grounded and the songs make sense — not necessarily a musical, but completely music-centric.”

Cora Kozaris was the choreographer for the songs performed on stage in the film.

Trap was released the same year as The Watchers, the directorial debut of Saleka’s sister, Ishana Night Shyamalan; a poster for The Watchers appears in the background of a scene in Trap.

Saleka and Ishana Shyamalan worked on their respective films on their family’s property in Pennsylvania. Saleka operated in a recording studio while Ishana mixed her film next door.] Herdís Stefánsdóttir composed the score, independently from Saleka. Columbia Records will release the soundtrack.
