M. Night Shyamalan has signed a multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement with Warner Bros., and up first is a mysterious psychological thriller titled Trap.

“Working with M. Night was one of the best experiences of my career,” Hartnett adds. “I think he’s a true artist in the capital-A sense of the word. And I think people are gonna be really surprised and excited about the movie we make. It’s very bizarre, very dark, and it’s wild.”
