M. Night Shyamalan’s 16th thriller Trap (working title Good Grades) starts filming in Mississauga, Ontario this October, now that production has a signed SAG-AFTRA Interim agreement.
The prolific Philadelphia filmmaker’s movies have grossed $3.3 billion at the box office, starting with three big hits — Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs — followed by four pricey misfires.
Once Shyamalan returned to smaller Indie budgets, his audience returned too, with this year’s release Knock at the Cabin marking his seventh #1 opening weekend at the box office.
Not much is known about his 16th feature.
It’s a thriller. It’s very unusual and very new compared to what I’ve been trying to do [recently], but I’m feeling very excited about the story . . .[it] might be something that you’ve seen before but the angle is very, very unique – the point of view. — M. Night Shyamalan teased NME.
There’s room for it on his viewfinder.
