As a devoted Taylor Swift fan and someone who has already experienced the magic of her Eras Tour in person, I cannot help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension as I eagerly await the release of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller, “Trap.” The similarities between the massive concert depicted in the movie and Swift’s Eras Tour have left me both intrigued and slightly anxious.
I’ve attended the Eras Tour by Taylor Swift before and have tickets for the November show once again. Frankly, when I watched the trailer for “Trap,” a thriller by M. Night Shyamalan scheduled for release in 2024, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of apprehension. The film is set at a large concert and revolves around a killer attempting to evade capture. Hartnett, the lead actor in “Trap,” has discussed the similarities between the movie’s concert scene and Swift’s massive performances. This revelation has only heightened my fear and anticipation.
Before the premiere of “Trap,” I’ve been reflecting on how the concert portrayed in the film resembles Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. The director shared with Empire that he proposed his project as “what if ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ took place at a Taylor Swift concert.” Furthermore, Josh Hartnett discussed his real-life experience at Swift’s tour and filming this movie with Extra, disclosing:
A few weeks ago, I finished working on an unusual film, considering its content. My daughters, who are 8 and 7 now, were finally old enough to attend such events. Eager to grant them an unforgettable experience, we went, and they truly enjoyed it.
He continued to discuss the intense excitement at these concerts, and he pointed out that Shyamalan effectively portrays this enthusiasm in the film “Trap“. During the filming of the movie “Oppenheimer“, the actor playing a fan remarked that it was chaotic as everyone portraying fans was greatly influenced by the music.
Before attending one of those intense concerts, I had already watched the movie. On that day, it seemed to me that the crowd had completely lost control. The young fans were deeply engrossed in Lady Raven’s and Saleka’s music, which they had heard beforehand. They sang passionately and went wild with excitement.
During that period, Hartnett lacked a reference point like the Eras Tour to assess “Trap” against. Consequently, he found himself in an unexpected situation where the actual concerts he attended seemed to echo the scenes from his film. As he put it, “I discovered that my movie and these live performances were reflecting each other.”
It was exactly what I experienced at the Taylor Swift concert, basically.
As a devoted Swift fan, always eager for Swift’s latest endeavors and exhibiting enthusiasm akin to those in Trap at the Eras Tour, Josh Hartnett’s statements both intrigued and alarmed me.
When I watch a thriller or horror movie, my mind quickly jumps to the thought that such events could potentially occur in my own life. I understand this fear is irrational, but it’s still very real for me. Given how closely connected I am to Trap‘s story and experiences, my fear is intensified.
Based on the actor’s descriptions, the next time I attend a concert, I may feel uneasy and keep looking around, as the portrayal in his film seems quite authentic – with the exception of the serial killer element, of course.
From another perspective, it’s intriguing that he lived through those events and noticed the resemblances firsthand. The movie captures our interest because it explores a significant occurrence and trend we’ve been monitoring for over a year, and its innovative approach to crafting a thriller is impressive.
I’ve seen some intense movies in my life, but none have left me as shaken as the description given by Josh Hartnett about “Trap.” Based on his account, I’m bracing myself for a cinematic experience that could potentially alter how I perceive live concerts forever. The anticipation is building up inside me, and I can hardly wait to witness this masterpiece unfold.
You can check the accuracy of what was stated in the story and evaluate the mentioned concerts by streaming the Eras Tour currently available on Disney+. On the other hand, the movie “Trap” can be watched in cinemas starting from August 2nd.
