My Hartnett Will Go On


M Night Shyamalan is currently filming his next movie in Canada (he got an interim agreement from SAG) -- it's called Trap and it will star our boy Josh Hartnett! Josh gave one of the best supporting turns in Oppenheimer -- the first Chris Nolan movie I've liked well enough in a very long time (although I will cockblock you from orgasming over it too hard if need be) -- so I'm glad to see him landing another high-profile role. Some of us (cough cough) never stopped following his career, but it doesn't always work out that the ones with genuine talent get a second shot once H'wood's cooled on them. S'pose it doesn't hurt that he's aged so well! Anyway here is all we know about Trap:

"Shyamalan previously described the film as a “psychological thriller set at a concert.” Saleka Shyamalan will play a popstar in the film whose concert is at the heart of the story. Josh Hartnett will play a father who takes his child to a concert, and unwittingly gets caught up in the surrounding events."

And this is the first I am learning that Night's daughter is a professional singer? Is this a thing people knew? Is she actually good and/or successful or have we got some nepo-baby bullshit rearing its head here? Anyway Shyamalan's been on a roll with his last few movies so I hope this one's good. I am incredibly tickled by how the plot makes it sound like Night was traumatized by having to take one of his kids to like a Justin Bieber concert and wrote a script about it. Old man telling at cloud movie ahead!

At first I read porn star instead of pop star and got immediately ‘excited’ that he might be in various states of undressed. He looked good in Black Mirror.
