M. Night Shyamalan is gearing up for his next project, describing it as a 'cool kind of flip on a genre' that explores subject matter he hasn't tackled before, particularly involving serial killers. His latest film, 'Trap', features Josh Hartnett as a serial killer who unwittingly becomes part of an FBI sting operation at a concert with his daughter. Shyamalan expressed excitement about crafting unique narratives, emphasizing the importance of originality in an era dominated by franchises. He believes audiences crave novel experiences and has focused on highlighting the 'bizarreness' of his stories to capture their attention. Reflecting on the creative process, he noted that his best ideas emerge when he feels compelled to discover the story's conclusion before writing it. Shyamalan's approach is to ensure that his films maintain a distinct tone, setting them apart from conventional Hollywood offerings.
