After Trap Success, M. Night Shyamalan Teases His Next Project, But Will He Go Back To Big Twists?

As a long-time fan of M. Night Shyamalan‘s intricate storytelling and enigmatic twists, I must admit that his latest film, “Trap,” was a refreshing change of pace. It’s not often we get to see him delve into the realm of suspenseful thriller without the mind-bending plot twists we’ve come to expect. However, as someone who has followed his career for over two decades, I can’t help but wonder if this shift in direction is a sign of things to come.


Recently premiered in cinemas, M. Night Shyamalan’s “Trap” does not actually offer an unexpected ending as one might anticipate from the director known for his intricate plot twists since “The Sixth Sense.” Instead, this film follows a serial killer attempting to escape authorities during a concert at a stadium, deviating from Shyamalan’s typical storytelling pattern. It will be intriguing to observe if this shift in direction continues in his upcoming work.

Regarding the upcoming film by the director of Split, he has disclosed that his forthcoming project is progressing through its personal stages of development and has recently achieved a significant milestone. Shyamalan shared details about his next movie on his own Instagram page, and you can view his post along with the caption in the embedded link below.

Each writer has their unique approach to work, and for M. Night Shyamalan, handwritten notebooks play a crucial role in his creative process. He shares that every new project he embarks on commences with the selection of a notebook where he jots down thoughts and ideas. Once all pages are filled, he is prepared to draft a script outline. At present, his future movie’s plot and title remain a mystery, hidden within some bright red covers.

As a devoted fan, I find myself intrigued by the pattern M. Night Shyamalan has established with his film titles. Historically, they seem to harbor hidden meanings within their stories – but much like the straightforward ending of “Trap,” we mustn’t jump to conclusions. It’s entirely plausible that this time, he’ll defy our expectations and opt for a lengthy, perhaps even humorous title such as “Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb” or “Don’t Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood.” After all, the unpredictable is what makes Shyamalan’s work so captivating!

The movie “Trap” is nearing the end of its cinema run (it slipped out of the Top 10 box office list a few weeks back and is currently screened in around 200 domestic locations). However, it has now surpassed $80 million globally – as M. Night Shyamalan mentioned on his Instagram post. This makes it the twelfth out of his 17 directorial projects to earn that amount at the box office.
