He needs to do a sequel, he's so passionate about the characters

[@Str52849]

Hartnett played this complex, layered character so brilliantly that I would definitely watch a sequel.

[@JosephSchwarzkopf-m9k]

Yeah, his movies truly are escapes from reality, more than most other directors. I really-respect the way that he shamelessly promoted his daughter and her musical talent with Trap. No one can honestly say that this is ALL 100% nepotism. She DOES have singing talent. This movie just brought a lot more publicity to what has already been there for a few years now.

Also he finances his own films so what dad wouldn't promote his beautiful and talented daughter and his movie. ❤❤❤❤🎶🎵🎧🎙️🎬🎥🎟️🎞️🍿🥤

Honestly, i love that from what i've seen...he never forces us to see her as a good musician.
It's like, (just like the hero), we're allowed to "not care" about the music !
But the character actually challenges that serial killer to his most everyday, comfort zone !
In the story, she's a star because she's a real PERSON, unlike Cooper...her music is just a symbol of that in the movie, Shyamalan's actually tame about the music here (makes us see it through a killer's eyes, no excessive emotional effects...)
