M Night Shyamalan to shoot his next film ‘Trap’ in Cincinnati

Well-known director M Night Shyamalan is presently busy with pre-production work for his much-anticipated next directorial venture Trap. The latest update suggests that the director will be shooting in Cincinnati for the film.

Shyamalan’s film Trap lists Cincinnati as the “region of production” for the upcoming movie, according to the Ohio Department of Development


Sharing some plot details during the Warner Bros' CineEurope presentation in Barcelona, Shyamalan had said that Trap will be a “psychological thriller set at a concert.”

“It is very unusual and very new compared to what I have been trying to do (recently), but I am feeling very excited about the story, so much so that I can't wait to tell it to you guys," Shyamalan told a publication.

Shyamalan's 22-year-old daughter, Ishana, also has a film coming out next year through Warner Bros. She is set to make her feature directing debut with The Watchers, which is dated for a June 7, 2024 release.

Trap is expected to release on August 2, 2024. The film marks the start of Shyamalan's directing and producing agreement with Warner Bros Pictures Group, and his departure from Universal.

Shyamalan has previously directed the hit films The Sixth Sense, Signs, and the 2016 thriller Split.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
