Every morning, as soon as Josh Hartnett wakes up in his Hampshire countryside home, there’s a flurry of activity. He’s got to feed his four young kids, and then there’s the dog, some guinea pigs, several chickens, and a small herd of pygmy goats. The goats are Hartnett’s favorites. Over Zoom, from his home, he shares a soft spot for them: “They’re the sweetest animals on the planet,” he notes. “They’re like dogs. They would live in the house if they could.” Choosing A Simpler Life Josh and his wife, British actress Tamsin Egerton, lived a transatlantic lifestyle between the...

In the late ‘90s and early aughts, Josh Hartnett was at the top of the heartthrob list, making his big screen debut in Halloween: H20 and launching into a stream of movies that easily placed him in the public eye – especially that of the teenage girl. But with that came the obsessive and the stalkers, which was part of why Hartnett started to shy away from the industry.
Although far removed from the days of being the type who gets plastered all over peoples’ bedroom walls or mirror, Josh Hartnett still remembers backing away when things got overwhelming. “I just didn’t want my life to be swallowed up by my work. And there was a notion at that time you just kind of give it all up. And you saw what happened to some people back then. They got obliterated by it. I didn’t want that for myself.

It’s almost August, which means two things: It’s the last month of the summer movie season, and we’re into the traditional “Dog Days of Summer” when studios often dump a lot of crap in hopes that moviegoers, at least those not taking their last-minute vacations, might go see them. Oddly, this month we also have a number of original films with just two franchise reboots, and a couple movies based on popular books and one video game. Read on for Gold Derby’s August 2024 box office preview.
“Alien: Romulus” (20th Century – Aug. 16)
Uruguyan filmmaker Fede Alvarez (“Don’t Breathe”) is the latest director to take over this long-running horror sci-fi franchise that began all the way back in 1979 with Ridley Scott‘s “Alien.” Scott is still involved as a producer after directing “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant” in 2012 and 2017, respectively, the former being the highest-grossing movie in the franchise with $402.4 million worldwide.

The role of Superman is undeniably one of the most coveted in the superhero genre. For fans and actors alike, it’s a dream part, offering a lot to take in and enjoy. However, Hollywood often sees actors misjudging the potential of certain roles. Take Sean Connery, for instance, who famously turned down the role of Gandalf due to a lack of understanding.
Recently, we reported that renowned British actor Jude Law had once declined the opportunity to play Superman. Now, we have another intriguing tale: Josh Hartnett, a notable actor, also turned down the Superman role—twice!
The actor in question is Josh Hartnett, a former global star who chose to step back from the blinding lights of Hollywood to protect his mental and physical health. He is now enjoying a happy and peaceful life while successfully reviving his career.

The role of Superman is undoubtedly one of the most exciting ones in the world of superheroes. So, if you’re into that sort of thing, there is certainly a lot to take from the role, and it is one of the best roles that an actor can get. But, as it often turns out in Hollywood, some actors tend to have a false perception of a role at one point. Just remember that Sean Connery (in)famously rejected the role of Gandalf because he did not understand it, whatever that means.
Not that long ago, we reported how famous British actor Jude Law rejected the role of Superman some time ago, but we now have a story about another famous actor who rejected the role, but not once – he rejected it twice!

Josh Hartnett is opening up about walking away from Hollywood.
In an interview with The Guardian published Sunday, the Trap actor reflected on why he went from mega fame to keeping a low-key profile over the years. After he stopped working for 18 months at the time, Hartnett left Los Angeles, moved back home and changed the films he expressed interest in starring in.
Despite having a Hollywood trajectory that led to great success with films such as Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down and even notably turning down the role of Superman twice, Hartnett noted that there was no clear line between “happy Josh and unhappy Josh” and he explained, “People’s attention to me at the time was borderline unhealthy.”
“There were incidents. People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me,” he said.
When he was 27, he revealed, “a guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun,...

Josh Hartnett recently spoke to The Guardian about his decision to leave Hollywood at a time when his career was thriving following major roles in “Pearl Harbor,” “Black Hawk Down,” “40 Days and 40 Nights” and more. Although Hartnett only stopped working for 18 months, he left Los Angeles and moved back home to Montana and drastically changed the kinds of movies he wanted to star in. This was also a period where Hartnett passed on Superman twice.
“I just didn’t want my life to be swallowed up by my work,” Hartnett said. “And there was a notion at that time you just kind of give it all up. And you saw what happened to some people back then. They got obliterated by it. I didn’t want that for myself.”

Rarely does a filmmaker require so little introduction as M. Night Shyamalan, whose name essentially became noun, adjective, and verb the moment “The Sixth Sense” landed with shockwaves a quarter-century ago. Though it’s standard operating procedure to note the strange arc of his career — delirious successes, mid-career work treated by the general public as follies that nevertheless earned cult-like acclaim, and a years-long “comeback” finally turned to revived mainstream acceptance — that trajectory’s only emboldened with “Trap,” which, more than a gangbusters thriller, is perhaps his purest piece of entertainment in decades.
Even more than “Old” or “Knock at the Cabin,” “Trap” finds Shyamalan in full-tilt thriller mode—certainly to the greatest extent since 2017’s “Split” at the least, this time (wisely) free from much of that film’s psychology or pathos. Burdens of expectation will never escape the writer-director, but even by this metric “Trap” offers the distinct...

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on July 24, 2024, Josh Hartnett didn’t hold back when sharing some behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the much-talked-about film, Oppenheimer. During the interview, Hartnett spilled on some rather amusing yet unhelpful advice given to him by none other than his co-star, Oscar-winner Matt Damon. The Christopher Nolan-directed movie sees Hartnett as Ernest Lawrence, the iconic physicist who played a crucial role in the Manhattan Project and was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1939. Despite portraying such a distinguished character, Hartnett’s preparation for the role wasn’t without its...

Actor Josh Hartnett has revealed why he chose to turn down two superhero movie roles at a time when he seemed destined for superstardom.
Hartnett, who stars in M Night Shyamalan’s forthcoming psychological thriller, Trap, told the UK’s Guardian newspaper that the amount of attention he was receiving had a part to play in his decision to walk away from Hollywood at the peak of his popularity. He said:
“People’s attention to me at the time was borderline unhealthy. There were incidents. People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me.” At one point, he revealed, “a guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in prison.”
“There were lots of things. It was a weird time. And I wasn’t going to be grist for the mill.”

On track for megastardom, the actor turned down the part of Superman (twice) and turned his back on Hollywood. Now living in rural Hampshire, he talks about choosing fulfilling projects, his hippie childhood, the perils of stalkers – and the fun of owning pygmy goats
Every morning, as soon as the actor Josh Hartnett wakes up in his home in the Hampshire countryside, there are mouths to be fed. Most obviously, those of his four young children. But also: the dog, several guinea pigs, several more chickens and a small herd of pygmy goats. The goats, Hartnett notes, are his favourites.
“They’re the sweetest animals on the planet,” he says, over Zoom, from his home. “They’re like dogs. They would live in the house if they could. In fact, I’ve seen people having their goats in the house with diapers on, but we felt that was kinda cruel.

Josh Hartnett said he realized after attending Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour with his daughters that the concert audience depicted in Trap wasn’t actually “over-the-top.”
The actor, who stars in M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming psychological thriller, admitted that he initially didn’t fully understand the life-altering experience concerts in this day and age can be for fans who see their favorite artists. That led him to question how the audience was portrayed in the movie Trap.
“I took them to the Eras Tour about two weeks ago when it came to London, to see Taylor Swift, and that was the first big thing they were interested in seeing,” Hartnett recently told the Associated Press, adding, “What was amazing about it, I sent a picture to Night basically saying this is life imitating art.

Concerts aren’t quite like they used to be. For many, what was once a casual, recreational opportunity to experience the talents of their favorite artists in person is now expected to be a life-altering, almost religious gathering. This shift, in large part, can be credited to Taylor Swift, whose almost two-years-long Eras Tour, with performances that span three hours and feature music from her entire career, went overseas recently and is set to conclude in December.
In crafting his upcoming concert thriller “Trap,” master of suspense M. Night Shyamalan aimed to capture this fervor, even when his star Josh Hartnett wasn’t sure if he could buy it. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Hartnett admits that it took taking his own daughters to the Eras Tour for him to understand what they accomplished with the film.

Damon’s general rule of thumb is “don’t gain weight over 40” for any role, Hartnett related.
“He’s like, ‘You’re gonna spend the rest of your life trying to get that weight off, and it’s never gonna come off because your body’s gonna want to get that weight back on. You’re just gonna keep growing back out to that size, and you’re going to try and get it off,...

Josh Hartnett revealed during an interview on “The Tonight Show” (via Entertainment Weekly) that Matt Damon advised him on the set of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” not to gain any weight for his role. The only problem is that Hartnett had already packed on the pounds to play Nobel Prize-winning nuclear physicist Ernest Lawrence. Damon starred in the film as Manhattan Project director Leslie Groves.
“[Matt] gave me a lot of good advice. One in particular — one thing that was just so unhelpful: he told me not to gain the weight I’d already gained for the role,” Hartnett said. “I gained about 30 pounds for the role, and he was like, ‘You’re never gonna get that off again, man.’”
According to Hartnett, Damon’s rule of thumb is that you just “don’t gain weight over 40” for any movie role because it’s near impossible to shed the pounds.

When it comes to the golden age of horror films—hell, the golden age of films in general, I will die on the hill arguing that it is the late 1990s into the early 2000s. Sure, you might have incredibly valid reasons to argue against that, but this was a time of peak cinema when it comes to my personal media consumption. I consider it a source of pride that my strongest trivia category, were I to encounter it, would easily be Teen Movies of the late ‘90s into the early ‘00s. You see, I was at the perfect age for those movies to make an impact—a nerdy preteen with no siblings who was often glued to the TV. While everyone can easily recall gems like 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s All That, Bring it On, and Mean Girls, there are an equally large amount of teen...

Singer and actress Saleka Shyamalan, daughter of top director M. Night, has released the single “Save Me.”
The song is taken from M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming thriller “Trap,” which is due Aug. 2 and stars Saleka as well as Josh Hartnett, Hayley Mills and Marnie McPhail.

At the start of 2023, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan secured a multi-year deal with Warner Bros., and soon after that deal was made, we heard that his first movie for Warner Bros. would be Trap, a “psychological thriller set at a concert”. That project made its way through production toward the end of last year, with lead roles going to Josh Hartnett, fresh off his appearance in Oppenheimer, and Shyamalan’s daughter Saleka. The film is now set to receive an international release on July 31st, with its domestic release to follow on August 2nd – and with those dates right around the corner, the Motion Picture Association ratings board has revealed the rating for the film. While Shyamalan describes the film as “What if The Silence of the Lambs happened at a Taylor Swift concert?”, we now know that the movie won’t be quite as hard-edged as The Silence of the Lambs was,...

Six months of horror releases down, six to go! With our 2024 Horror Preview, we’re looking ahead at some of the other horror movies we can’t wait to check out this year. For now, we’re only including movies that have a known release date, so films like the remakes/reboots of The Toxic Avenger and Witchboard are currently absent because they don’t have a release date yet, even though they’re likely to show up at some point in 2024. Here we go:
Longlegs – Theatrical, July 12
The marketing for Longlegs, a psychological horror thriller from director Osgood Perkins – who, yes, is the son of actor Anthony Perkins – has been so awesome and creepy, the actual film might struggle to live up to it. Still, it sounds very promising, with genre regular Maika Monroe taking on the role of an FBI agent who is tracking an elusive serial killer played by Nicolas Cage.

Taylor Swift inspired M. Night Shyamalan's new movie 'Trap'.The thriller-mystery movie is set at a pop concert, where police have set up an elaborate trap to catch a serial killer and Shyamalan revealed he pitched the movie as "What if 'The Silence of the Lambs' happened at a Taylor Swift concert?"Speaking to Empire magazine, he explained: "I directed an entire concert! And it wasn’t just a thing in the background. It’s equally important. There is no pretend concert going on. I love the idea of cinema as windows within windows. One of the reasons to come see the movie at the movie theatre is because there’s literally a real concert that you can see nowhere except in that movie."I really do believe in the original movie. I want the industry to move towards more original storytelling. I think audiences would really like it.

M. Night Shyamalan Says Inspiration for ‘Trap’ Was ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Meets Taylor Swift Concert
M. Night Shyamalan teases fans that Trap is not just just a thriller-mystery, but also a concert film.
The Oscar-nominated filmmaker opened up about the concept behind his upcoming film starring Josh Hartnett in a recent interview with Empire magazine. When asked how he pitched the movie, Shyamalan responded, “What if The Silence of the Lambs happened at a Taylor Swift concert?”
Trap follows a father (Hartnett) and his teen daughter (Ariel Donoghue), who attend a pop concert by Lady Raven (Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka Shyamalan). However, they realize they’re actually at the center of a much darker event — a police operation to capture a serial killer.
Shyamalan said the movie was partially inspired by the “twisted and funny” real-life 1985 “Operation Flagship,” a sting operation by U.S. Marshals and the DC Metropolitan Police Department, which resulted in the arrest of more than 100 wanted fugitives after they were coaxed...

Filmmaker and master of suspense M. Night Shyamalan is returning to the big screen next month with his concert-set thriller, “Trap,” but the big twist is “Trap” is about more than just whatever twist Shyamalan has cooked up.

But in a recent interview with Empire, Shyamalan boasts another huge reason to see “Trap” in theaters is that viewers will be getting an actual concert film in addition to his standard mystery fare. In fact, when asked how he pitched the film, Shyamalan said, “What if ‘The Silence Of The Lambs’ happened at a Taylor Swift concert?”

The film follows dad Cooper (Josh Hartnett) and daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) attending a much-hyped pop concert by Lady Raven, played by Shyamalan’s own daughter, Saleka. Not just a simple concert, ‘Trap’ explores deeper layers as it turns into a police operation aiming to capture the serial killer known as ‘The Butcher.’ In true Shyamalan fashion, the twist reveals that Hartnett’s Cooper is, in fact, the serial killer.
