You should've do the trailer for Long legs is one of the best marketing campaigns ever put in neon

[@greghuffman3061]

Am I the only one who didn't find Glass disappointing? I find it way more rewatchable than Split

[@mykieclarke9797]

I love how the detective was from 'the parent trap' because the police are trying to TRAP the girls parent. Or is josh a step dad?

[@devinkerley2431]

You have a very good eye for detail. No way I would have noticed all of these things from this little trailer, nice work!

[@Not_4uoo]

Twist is the daughter is the real killer dad just supports it

[@PapaEnoch052]

That would be funny😂.

[@aedwardsss]

Support your kids’ hobbies. That’s the lesson here.

[@caffeinatedlizard3593]

I think that's also too obvious, still think there is a bigger twist than just the daughter being the killer cause anyone can figure that out.

[@sidrip]

The most unusual part of the conversation with the merch salesperson is, how does the merch salesperson know what the police plan is. They would never tell a merch sales person the plan.

[@RACALDERONR]

Saying the name of the person you are talking to (usually at each sentence you say and/or at end preferably) helps put them at ease and makes them feel like you are connecting and engaged. Don't gotta be after every but an example lol

[@allways8782]

Yes, exactly!

I've been called crazy for saying this. Alot of people around me don't think psychology is a real thing

[@jendaar]

Sorry. Not for me. I must be the exception. When people drop my name in the conversation often when it's obvious I'm the only one they're talking to feels demeaning, condescending and disingenuous to me most times. I totally agree with Eric's assessment.

What if, Josh Hartnett’s character is a killer who goes after supervillains but instead of bringing them to justice he just simply murders them. It’s definitely like Dexter, but making it fit within the Unbreakable universe would be interesting

[@QuintonLeo]

Trap is the most excited for a Shyamalan film since Glass. Unbreakable was a movie I watched a lot as a young teen and is never talked about enough. I agree with you that I think this will connect with The Sixth Sense.

I have always been a huge Hartnett fan, thrilled he's back in the forefront! I just watched Glaas again, and I shut it off, so I can imagine the ending I want!

[@Derekb287]

I feel like the concession worker was apart of the plot to catch him. First, why would he know what the feds are doing. Second, why would he share?

[@SpaghettiYOLOKing]

Why does anybody share a secret? Because once you know a secret, there's a part of you that really wants to share it. Some are able to resist that and keep it under wraps, others not so much.

[@TheOneTrueJack]

Two things: 1. Enormous respect for Shyamalan for all the reasons mentioned and I completely agree that the "twist" in the trailer is not going to be the only one. His grocery lists have twists. 2. Signs plotting does make sense if the creatures are demons and not aliens (look it up).

[@darrensantiago3784]

The Butcher just sounds in the world of Unbreakable

[@nathanjoseph8270]

I do see that actually. What if the Dad is actually a vigilante within that universe who hunts murderers.

[@sameerwafa2943]

I was interested in this movie since cinemacon and now I only realized that this was also filmed in Toronto in the rogers centre which is where I live. Now I’m even more excited.

[@vangogh589]

I didn't want to see it until after you broke it down, now I'm intrigued.

[@ivormoto6136]

Stop glazing

[@BlackLasher]

They wouldn't reveal him to be the serial killer if they didn't want the audience to be lulled into a degree of security with that fact. The twist is he's the bait for the serial killer because he 'fits' the profile of their victims.

[@JAWNDOEmusic]

ur first sentence makes the second sentence/your guess make literally no sense FYI lmfao

[@JohnAllen-po5wd]

The twist: Josh Hartnett is a grown-up Cole Sear from The Sixth Sense. He went mad after communing with some many dead people.

[@unropednope4644]

I think its more likely a grown up cole communicated with a murdered victims ghost and cole tipped the FBI/helping the FBI. Cole being a deranged serial killer would completely ruin coles backstory and the sixth sense in general.

[@erichart8342]

It could be something like a reverse 'The Crow' where a Raven carries the soul to the afterlife... It could all be happening at the moment of his death, and this metaphor is the Raven guiding him on, making him come to terms with his evil... rough thought.

[@JustinLeScores]

SO happy you made a video for this trailer/movie!!

[@FluffyandFriends]

I read that it could possibly be a secret sequel to The Sixth Sense. How else would they know the killer would be there unless.....one of his victims reached out to a now adult Cole who is helping police catch serial killers with information. It wouldn't surprise me if M. Night is trying to build off of his older movies. It worked with Split and Glass

[@bjbresulla]

I'm not gonna lie I would be down for the return of Haley Joel as his character from sixth sense using his gift to help the police.

[@nthecoolnl]

The village was great. The twist wasn't huge but still satisfying and I remember being gripped thought the whole film.

[@stephtanio9894]

Okay all real M. Night Shyamalan fans will know that in the extras on The Sixth Sense DVD, he explained that he used red to signal that Dr. Malcolm Crowe is actually deceased. I understand how other films have used red but if we are in M. Night Shyamalan’s world, then I’m leaning more towards this being a kind of mental prison instead of the obvious ‘Trap’. If he uses red to signal something that isn’t obvious to the viewer, it makes me feel like this isn’t going to be a typical killer just trying to evade police (which is obvious).

[@Terrance865Blu]

Definitely. And for the sake of being obvious, whether you like M. Night or not, he is a good and experienced director. He's not gonna put the films big reveal in the trailer unless he's using that to throw us off from what's really happening

[@tajmahaltv1182]

When watching trailers like this, you can expect a few things: -That this particular director will give you something as to how the the story and narrative is going to play out which means there’s more than meets the eye. -That the director will most likely do a cameo in it like he did in some of his recent movie projects he had done or has his family in it somehow. -There’s a psychological or emotional aspect and twist to the movie so it’s not just an ordinary movie. -The twist is going to deal with the title and how it’s often taken out of context so it brings in the audience to think outside the box. Like in this case I’m getting that maybe the main character is actually a schizophrenic or super paranoid so his inner thoughts are getting the best of him or maybe he is dealing with a loss and all of this is just figments of his imagination or a “trap” to gain control of his personalities. Just saying. Overall a great movie idea and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us.

[@Snookiekills]

No matter how it goes down, I think that he and his daughter leave just like normal. Part of me thinks the singer is the one they think is the killer

[@iamjonathanlawrence]

In “Glass”, Mr. Glass mentioned towards the end that it wasn’t the culmination or final battle of sorts, but an origin story. But who’s? Bruce’s son? Could this be connected in that way? I’m definitely intrigued.

[@Retro_Red]

I was hoping the three at the end would bring together a group of heroes. Still don't get the whole clover group thing.

[@stolbez666legend]

I could see it being an alter of Kevin with Kevin talking to authorities. The other thing I could see (If anyone could pull it off, Shymalan could) is Hartnett's character not being The Butcher in the end. I don't know how you do it, but I could see him pulling it off.

[@bewarned8236]

Im callin it now, Harnetts character is a "retired" serial killer, who has passed the torch to his daughter (the chopper) in a Dexter sort of way lol.

[@douglascox2412]

The arena setting is reminiscent of Unbreakable. And the theme of colors like red and yellow also makes me think this will another super powered human 💪🏾

[@_quarterroy2325]

When people tell me their name I usually say it so that I remember it better. Am I a socipath?!

[@jmutube61191]

The title may imply it's a trap for him, but I think that it's a trap for someone else. He may also be a part of the police force or he's retired. I also think another family member like his wife or even the elder ones play a key role in this movie.

[@horacioiaboni]

TRAP = PART .. wow

[@MoMo21819]

This looks pretty good. You called it when you said it's a mix of good and bad. When it's good, it's so good.

[@katyavinogradova7688]

Josh Hartnett was my one celebrity crush when I was growing up, and I'm thrilled to see his comeback! He is a fantastic actor and he's barely aged at all. So hopefully many more interesting roles to come!

[@oriionartist8011]

What if the twist is that he is indeed the butcher, but he is like a Dexter type character where he kills other serial killers and extremely bad people, hence why he had that look of glee in his eyes when he was looking at that individual chained up. Maby he lost his wife to a killer and now he goes around taking out other killers he finds out about.

[@stellanox]

I like this take. And what if the lead detective is his mom? A real family affair… a “trap” set by his “parent,” so to speak. But is it really a trap for him, or does he maybe have a twin? Or is mom in on a multi-generational secret… like they have a secret power to know who to catch and kill (other serial killers, etc.). All of that would make it interesting to see where his daughter fits in. This could be really good, I have high hopes for it!

[@l3reeze10]

While the interior of the concert venue is filmed within First Ontario Centre, the exterior shots were filmed in Toronto outside Rogers Centre.

[@chris-eg]

he made the excellent "the servant" series on Apple TV. He has dabbled in the "streaming game"

[@colineason3563]

Josh Hartnett plays twins. One a Detective and one a serial killer. Maybe

[@Iamwoodbeard]

The interiors are shot at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, but exteriors of the arena are actually the Skydome, or Rogers Centre as some people call it, in Toronto. The more you know :)

[@wingflanagan]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to give this one a shot. I used to think of Josh Hartnett as "discount Brad Pitt" (the resemblance was greater when he was younger). But he's proven himself to be a formidable actor with an unnerving dark side (see the _Dark Mirror_ episode _Beyond the Sea)._ Shyamalan has redeemed himself, too, by proving he's in this for the long game. He fought through some bombs, tamed his ego, and came out smelling like a rose. Good on him.

[@danielaguilar8424]

Just throwing a nugget out there that there's maybe a copycat killer involved somewhere which led the cops to the concert. JH knows his methods are full proof so he's trying to find the copycat too or at least stage someone to be in order to keep attention off himself. Looking forward to this one!

[@Mr_Rhys]

I’ll be watching for sure!

[@sanjulienne]

Watchable if you leave all logic, reason and your brain at the door.

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

I recall on the commentary of the 6th Sense, M Night loves using the color red on the set, typically an object, when setting up an tense scene

[@SpaghettiYOLOKing]

Red in The Sixth Sense was used to symbolise the spirit world and its influence upon the real world. Every time you see red, a ghost trapped in limbo either accompanies it or appears shortly thereafter. Shyamalan is probably putting his extension of the Unbreakable universe to rest or, at least, off to the side and now is looking to expand upon The Sixth Sense, which honestly, I'm surprised he hasn't done sooner. I firmly believe Trap is extending The Sixth Sense universe and opening the door to more projects with Cole as a focal point.

[@TheThird1977]

I really enjoyed the trailer and when it comes to M Night Shyamalan's movies, I'd rather someone take a risk and come close than play it safe. Even in his lesser received films there are elements and/or scenes that stand out as great, so this is definitely one I'll be checking out.

[@gerardocabral87]

Watching the reference you make to the shining got me thinking this would be a great move for the Deep Dive.

[@timclark3663]

What if cole is another person the organisation is keeping an eye on as well as this serial killer who also has some powers

[@thejedimaster5057]

Wouldn’t mind the twist being Haley Joel Osment character from sixth sense talking to Josh Harnett character as he was the dead one who helped the real butcher get away his murders and ended him killing Josh’s daughter and him to cover “loose ends” and the whole trap is for the true butcher. Kinda like Identity with John Cusack esque.

[@bigbruce70]

The person in the white hoodie looking down, walking up the stairs, looked suspicious

[@WalkoffGrandslam]

The twist will be that there is no twist this time.

[@youngL0402]

This looks really good

[@emmanuelbeatty2777]

The color red shows up a lot in the sixth sense and represents the barrier between the ghosts and the real world. Maybe something to do with the red clothes and titles in the trailer?

[@DarrolHill]

A lot of this trailer looks to have scenes in downtown Toronto, and the venue looks to be the Rogers Center.

[@BootsMcGavin]

Yeah it’s definitely Rogers Centre. As a Jays fan I spend a lot of time there. Very recognizable. Some of the interior might be First Ontario Centre, but otherwise it’s Rogers

[@joshfactor1]

i don't know; something's not adding up here; i mean they if he's the butcher, why does he have this victim kidnapped in lieu of killed?

[@fatcat83]

CAN confirm that is infact First Ontario Centre.

[@JollyJeff]

Also, I was checking recent projects Haley Joel Osment was working on to see if he might have snuck into the set of this movie but it doesn't look obvious. Sometimes they're really stupid about this stuff and just put it somewhere in the IMDB listing that he is in the movie.

[@bbussey1967]
