Josh Hartnett and M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka, have been cast in Shyamalan’s new movie.
According to Film Updates, Hartnett and Saleka have been cast in Shyamalan’s new movie, which was previously known as Trap but is currently filming under the title Good Grades. The movie was granted a Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) waiver allowing Shyamalan to film it during the ongoing actors strike for better wages, protection against artificial intelligence, and more.
While plot details are currently unknown, the movie will reportedly be a “psychological thriller set at a concert,” according to Film Updates. Saleka will play a pop artist in the movie, while Hartnett will play a father attending the concert with his child.
Hartnett recently played a significant role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. He’s also known for starring in 1999’s The Virgin Suicides, 2001’s Pearl Harbor, 2001’s Black Hawk Down, 2005’s Sin City, 2006’s Lucky Number Slevin, 2007’s 30 Days of Night, and more.
Saleka, meanwhile, is an R&B singer-songwriter who released her debut album, Seance, in May 2023. She additionally recorded and released several songs for Servant, an Apple TV+ series that Shyamalan served as the showrunner on until the show ended in March 2023.
Shyamalan is known for making movies such as 1999’s The Sixth Sense, 2000’s Unbreakable, 2002’s Signs, 2015’s The Visit, 2016’s Split, and more. Following 2021’s Old, Shyamalan’s most recent movie, Knock at the Cabin, hit theaters in February 2023. Based on a 2018 novel titled The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul G. Tremblay, it stars Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn, and Rupert Grint.
An official release date for Shyamalan’s Good Grades has not yet been set.
