M. Night Shyamalan Says Daughter Saleka Was Treated ‘the Same’ on Trap Set as Rest of Cast (Exclusive)


M. Night Shyamalan exclusively spoke to PEOPLE about working with his daughter Saleka on his latest thriller 'Trap' at the movie's world premiere at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on July 24.

Along with the director and his daughter, the film's other stars Josh Hartnett, Ariel Donoghue, Hayley Mills, Alison Pill and Russell “Russ” Vitale also stepped out on the red carpet at Alice Tully Hall. The film follows Hartnett as an ordinary dad called Cooper treating his daughter to floor seats at a massive concert from Lady Raven — a pop starlet played by Saleka — before the pair find out they are at “the center of a dark and sinister event,” according to the movie’s synopsis. Making an audience identify with a main character before "taking advantage of that" was "fun," the Sixth Sense director previously shared at a Trap preview event in Los Angeles on April 16.
