Will there be 'Trap' 2? Here's what the future holds for M Night Shyamalan's thriller
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The visionary M Night Shyamalan is back with another psychological thriller flick, 'Trap’, leaving audiences asking for more.
The movie, which made its premiere on Friday, August 2, follows a man named Cooper (Josh Hartnett) and his teenage daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) as they attend a concrete but what starts like an ordinary family excursion rapidly turns into a horrific adventure as they learn they are ensnared in a diabolical scheme.
The movie is gaining good reviews from fans and critics alike, with many wondering whether there will be a sequel to the thriller movie.
Will there be 'Trap' 2?
As the movie just made its debut, it is too soon to speculate about its future, as there is no official comment about this either from Shyamalan or any actor or crew affiliated with the movie.
Additionally, Shyamalan, who has a wonderful heritage of work with his first breakout movie, 'The Sixth Sense’, is currently working for 'Caddo Lake' as a producer, which means if he decides to make a sequel it will take a fair amount of time.
All in all, fans still have to wait for the official word from the studio on the future of the movie.
What could be the plotlines for Trap' 2?
Given the frightening and claustrophobic nature of the original 'Trap’, a sequel might take the genre even further.
The sequel might dive more deeply into Cooper's mentality after the events of the first film as the movie could focus on uncovering a government conspiracy behind the concert catastrophe, prompting a larger-scale probe.
Meanwhile, the sequel might incorporate new characters as well as aspects of the supernatural, adding a fresh layer of mystery and intrigue.
A similar incident may occur at another public gathering, implying a trend or the appearance of a copycat murderer, which might be the film's fascinating story point.
How to watch 'Trap'?
If you want to watch Shyamalan's magic unfolding before your eyes, you can catch the movie on the big screens on August 2, 2024.
Although there is no official date for the movie's streaming debut, it may be predicted to have a release before the end of this year.
