Warner Bros. has launched a brand new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s Lure, wherein a serial killer colorfully dubbed “the Butcher” (Josh Hartnett) learns the cops plan to ambush him on the live performance he’s simply taken his daughter to. Feast your eyes beneath:
Although Shyamalan has used villain protagonists earlier than, Lure might be his first putting a needed serial killer in a job historically reserved for everyman motion heroes in movies like Die Exhausting or Sudden Dying. It’s an intriguing inversion of a familiar trope, and one which begs the query: is Josh Hartnett the correct actor for this? The teen idol-turned-television star—who, in keeping with a 2020 interview with the Guardian, credit a 2001 Vanity Fair article with derailing his profession—has been inching towards a comeback within the final yr, enjoying each physicist Ernest Lawrence in Oppenheimer and a memorable astronaut in Black Mirror.
Lure co-stars Ariel Donoghue, Hayley Mills, Alison Tablet, Marnie McPhail, and Vanessa Smythe, plus Saleka Shyamalan as “Woman Raven,” the pop star turned snare. It opens August 2.
