The initial glimpse of the upcoming movie has just been unveiled, displaying the prominent actor Josh Hartnett performing as a dad who escorts his adolescent daughter (Ariel Donoghue) to a pop singer's show. However, the dad and daughter eventually come to the realization that the whole concert has been strategically organized to ensnare a well-known murderer.

The murderer being referred to? Oh, it's him - a truth that his daughter is unaware of.

Shyamalan is well-known for his great plot twists and unexpected plot developments, usually revealed towards the end of his movies instead of in the previews. It's probable that he has many more surprises planned for us.
