One of the most anticipated titles of the summer, Shyamalan’s Trap, starring Josh Hartnett and Saleka Shyamalan, is now poised to open against Neon’s horror thriller Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer, Columbia Pictures’ Harold and the Purple Crayon, and the Kino Lorber drama Sebastian, among other films.

Pic watches as a man and his daughter attend a pop concert where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event. When the father notices a heightened police presence at the venue, he’s alerted to the fact that the concert was put together as an elaborate ruse to catch a serial killer. Little does the vendor who tells him this know that the killer is, we’re led to believe, Hartnett himself. Shyamalan directed the film from his own script and produced alongside Marc Bienstock and Ashwin Rajan.

Most recently releasing The Watchers, the debut feature of Ishana Night Shyamalan, Warner Bros is set to unveil Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 on June 28, with Chapter 2 debuting August 23. Other upcoming projects from the studio include Twisters on July 19, Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut Blink Twice on August 23, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice on September 6, to name just a few.
