  • Saleka Shyamalan on Crafting Concert Songs for M. Night Shyamalan’s Thriller “Trap”

    Saleka Shyamalan on Crafting Concert Songs for M. Night Shyamalan’s Thriller “Trap”

    “It was crazy – we basically prepped a stadium tour,” shares Saleka Shyamalan about her experience working on the songs and scenes for “Trap,” the latest thriller directed, written, and produced by her father, M. Night Shyamalan.

    A Thrilling Plot

    “Trap” tells the gripping story of a father and daughter, played by Josh Hartnett and Ariel Donoghue, who attend a pop concert only to discover they are part of a dark and sinister plan. The concert is actually a trap set to capture a notorious serial killer known as The Butcher.

    Intricate Production Design

    Saleka delves into the elaborate process: “There was no detail left out. There were the songs, full choreography, full costumes, full screens, all the transitions, multiple different sets. A lot of time was spent putting that together. It wasn’t the normal production design for a movie.”

    Crafting the Concert Experience

    “It was, ‘All right, let’s make a tour. What is this character’s tour like? What’s the opening song? Where does it go from there? What are the points where the audience is surprised, having fun – the ups and downs? What is the order of the songs to create an arc for the show within the movie?’” Saleka explains. She emphasizes the dual role of the songs in the film: they needed to advance the story while also serving as a musical score, since a significant portion of the film lacks traditional scoring. “The songs have to function in both ways. It was fun – super challenging, but fun.”

    Visual and Choreographic Magic

    Creating the sold-out concert for Lady Raven, played by Saleka, involved advanced visual effects. Visual effects supervisor Will Towle utilized light detection and ranging scans to craft a 3D model of the venue. Performers were filmed against a green screen, and 2D sprites of concertgoers were created. These techniques multiplied 300 concertgoers to fill the 15,000-seat arena where the film’s pivotal scenes occur.

    Choreographer Cora Kozaris brought the dance sequences to life. “The concert scenes are playing to an arena that holds 15,000 people, so all the movement has to be extremely exaggerated. Larger than life. The dancers are coming with huge pulses of energy,” Kozaris describes. The choreography also reflected the intimate details of the characters’ off-stage struggles, intertwining with Lady Raven’s songs to enhance the narrative tension.

    Inspiration Behind “Trap“

    M. Night Shyamalan reveals that the film’s concept was inspired by conversations with his daughter, Saleka, about music and movies. This collaboration brought a unique depth to the film’s musical elements.

    “Trap,” distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company, opens in cinemas on July 31. Don’t miss this thrilling cinematic experience! #TrapMovie

  • M. Night Shyamalan Praises Josh Hartnett’s “Amazing Performance” in “Trap,” Hitting Cinemas on July 31

    M. Night Shyamalan Praises Josh Hartnett’s “Amazing Performance” in “Trap,” Hitting Cinemas on July 31

    “Trap,” the latest thriller from the brilliant mind of director M. Night Shyamalan, tells the riveting story of a father and daughter who attend a pop concert only to realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event. How did this thriller about a serial killer trapped in a concert venue come to life?

    A Family Collaboration

    “‘Trap’ was created by me and my daughter Saleka from our conversations together about music and movies,” Shyamalan proudly shares. Saleka, who plays Lady Raven in the film, also wrote the fictional artist’s songs featured in the concert. This unique father-daughter collaboration brings a fresh and personal touch to the film’s narrative.

    Saleka’s Insight

    Saleka, a professional singer-songwriter, reflects on her father’s passion for filmmaking. “What’s interesting to me is that he tells such dark stories because I think he is such a positive person,” she says. “You see that positivity in the context of these dark situations, and you know that he thinks the universe is good. It’s a key throughline in a lot of his movies. And I think this is another example of that. It’s beautiful to watch. That makes me feel safe on set, and it makes a lot of people feel happy and joyous to be here. It’s like we’re living the dream. He feels that and so we remember that every day.”

    Josh Hartnett’s Stellar Performance

    Josh Hartnett, who plays Cooper, holds great respect for Shyamalan, especially because of the director’s meticulous approach. “I was given a big ream of the storyboards, which is basically the film,” shares Hartnett. “You could flip through it and you could see every shot… for someone to come that prepared and then show up and actually live within it… I think he does that because he feels what the actors are going through. You can see him behind the camera, really experiencing it, wanting to be there 100%, to see how it will be experienced by the audience. Later, he can then put it together in a way that’s going to be most effective for the audience. It just shows what a master he is of this craft. And I think because of all that, he really enjoys the process.”

    Shyamalan’s Praise for Hartnett

    Shyamalan is equally impressed with Hartnett’s dedication. For the role of Cooper, Shyamalan wanted an actor who is a big risk-taker. “When I met Josh, he looked me in the eye, and I just knew he was ready to do anything – there was an energy, an electricity coming off of him,” says the director. “I think for audiences, one of the great reasons to come to this movie is seeing the amazing performance that Josh gives.”

    “Trap,” distributed in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Discovery company, opens in cinemas July 31. Be sure to catch this captivating thriller and witness Josh Hartnett’s stellar performance. #TrapMovie
