Trap may not be Hartnett's best movie but it could still be profitable with its low production costs. Shyamalan's films tend to make money despite mixed reviews, with Split being a recent standout. Saleka Shyamalan debuts as Lady Raven in Trap, showcasing her real-life musical talent in the film.

Josh Hartnett stars in M. Night Shyamalan's new psychological horror thriller Trap, which was released in theaters on August 2, 2024. Hartnett has made a major comeback over the last few years after he appeared in Black Mirror season 6 and Christopher Nolan's Best Picture winner Oppenheimer and has shown no signs of slowing down since. He made a surprise guest appearance in The Bear season 3, becoming an official member of the series' coveted expansive universe, and is now playing a serial killer in disguise in Trap, which also features the feature film debut of Shyamalan's daughter Saleka as pop singer Lady Raven.
