- M. Night Shyamalan has been at least partly self-financing his films since 2015's "The Visit," risking his own money on box office success. His latest is "Trap," starring Josh Hartnett as a father with a secret and Shyamalan's daughter Saleka as a pop star whose concert is surrounded by police looking to capture a serial killer. Shyamalan spoke with AP entertainment editor Ryan Pearson about his high-risk, high-reward, lower-budget filmmaking approach, guiding his daughters' artistic pursuits - and his philosophy that "talent is process." #trapmovie #mnightshyamalan #movies
Basically he hasn't sold out to Hollywood. Very rare for a filmmaker in the system.
What you talking about
Love Night! I can’t believe he’s 54 years old.
Night is such a unique filmmaker, his stories are unlike anything else Hollywood spits out. Simply adore this man's movies. One of the greats. And I'll take that to the grave.
I think it's so cool that no matter anyone thinks of Shyamalan, the will he has to spend millions of his own money making the movies he wanted to make is extremely cool. Would be great to see other filmmakers follow the path he has.
They can never make me hate M Night
I'm not a huge fan, but I respect him as an artist.
Me neither Shamylan is usually a hit or miss for me but you can't deny Trap looks gas
@@Model_Roeif he’s a hit or miss then you like him then.
@@Anthonycheesman33 I do but most of his movies are hit or miss for me meaning sometimes what he does is gas other times its trash but either way I do look forward to whatever he is releasing because it always has some crazy plot twist
Twist ending to your post
@@joebriggs5781 I didn't see that coming 😜
That man does not age.
He probably sold his soul lol
Darker skin don’t age as fast.
He’s financing his own movies. Ballsy. Of course, he owns them so if they’re successful he benefits from it long term.
Every single movie he makes is successful. He’s nailed down the low budget high rewards part

@@IDONTKNOWMILLIGAN 30 million is not low budget
these days it is. Anything under 100 mil is low tbh
He seems quite cool tbh
Just watched it. If you just want a fun thriller with a unique concept: this movie is great! Idk why the internet is trying to just tear it down immediately
Agreed
Because a bunch of nobodies still can’t forget about Avatar
props to M Night, making movies from the start, and creating something beautiful
salut
Love Mr. Shyamalan, he is such a talented and kind man. Can't wait to see the movie.
He was put in director jail after the last airbrnder. So he started financing movies, which has worked well for him so far.
Huge fan, I will totally watch this.
I can’t say enough how much I admire M. Night Shyamalan.
I am so watching this 🙌! Trap looks gas
I love his work ethic.
Too bad that isn't reflected in many of his movies.
Just left the theatre and this is my number one pick ...this year has three pschopathic plots and Josh Hartnett nailed it as the lead...hope to see this nominated
Old was a great film. He’s the king of plot twists.
Movies are getting darker and darker, even Hallmark movies.

M. Night is brilliant! The marketing was also brilliant! Months of people, who watched the movie trailer , trying to figure out what the twist was to discover that the twist was there was no twist! Ha! Ha! Great job M. Night.
Keeping people guessing is M. Night 's strength!
Literally went into it thinking what everyone else was thinking (the daughter) and then there's like no major twist ... There's a twist but not a main one 🤣🤣🤣
One of the greatest storytellers of all time
I really want to see this movie. I think the concept is great!
Well done!
No twist is the twist that we didn't expect! Yep we spent months exploring what the twist would be. Great marketing with the trailers.
Incredible lessons here
shout out to M, for that. How art should be made....
Well it’s worked well for him so far
$45-50 Million dollars is a modest budget for a film? Does that include P&A too? This guy is living in Lala land if he thinks anything over 10M is a modest budget. I do love his enthusiasm for filmmaking and maybe 3 of his films at most.
interesting movie to watch.
Why with all of that negative space at the beginning of the interview, would they choose to put the title directly over his face haha?
Hope this makes money
split was his magnum opus tho
"risky" LOL his every film not only recovered the budget but had got him twice thrice money on it.
Film was full of plot holes.
Another Jehovah's witness-based!? 🤔😒
?
What?
???
He's Indian.
