I Talked To M. Night Shyamalan About Setting A Horror Movie At A Pop Singer’s Show, And As A Frequent Concertgoer, I’m Intrigued

Quick Glance: M. Night Shyamalan and the Concert Culture

In his new film "Trap," M. Night Shyamalan is revealing one of his signature twists to the audience earlier than usual.

The thriller features Josh Hartnett as a father taking his teenage daughter to a pop concert reminiscent of the blockbuster tours of summer 2023.

Shyamalan drew inspiration from the concert culture, particularly from his daughter Saleka's experience as an artist signed to Columbia Records and performing as Lady Raven.

The film incorporates an actual concert as a main set piece, drawing from 'Purple Rain,' offering a unique experience that immerses viewers in the story.

Drake is requested to provide written confirmation that 'Taylor Made' has been removed from all platforms, along with an explanation of how the sound-alike was created and the individuals or company involved.

Quick Glance: Sons of John Lennon and Paul McCartney Release New Single

The most famous songwriting credit in history, Lennon-McCartney, has been revived - this time for a song written by the Beatles' sons.

Primrose Hill, a track by Paul McCartney's son James, co-written with Sean Ono Lennon, is an acoustic ballad featuring a shuffling backbeat and contemplative guitar solo.

McCartney described the song in an Instagram post as a vision he had as a child in Scotland: 'Primrose Hill is about getting the ball rolling with me & finding this person.'

Fans also have the chance to acquire a unique piece of McCartney memorabilia - the open-top double-decker bus used by him and Wings for their 1972 European tour, expected to be auctioned for up to £200,000 on April 22.

Quick Glance: What Lies Ahead for TikTok in the US?

The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

President Joe Biden has confirmed his intention to sign the legislation on Wednesday.

ByteDance acquired the well-known karaoke app Musical.ly and rebranded it as TikTok back in 2017. It has become one of the fastest-growing applications in the United States, boasting 150 million monthly subscribers.

Quick Glance: Funny Moments with Ryan Gosling and Beavis at SNL

During a television segment on artificial intelligence, the cast of Saturday Night Live had difficulty keeping a straight face as Ryan Gosling and Mikey Day appeared as Beavis and Butt-Head.

Gosling was dressed as Beavis and sat behind Heidi Gardner's character. The costumes of Gosling and Day brought laughter to the cast and the actors themselves.

Heidi Gardner struggled to deliver her lines when she saw Gosling in his Beavis outfit. When Day showed up as Butt-Head, it was even harder for her to stay serious. The entire cast fought with laughter as the sketch continued.

Ryan Gosling is celebrated for his role as Ken in Barbie and has appeared in successful films like Drive and La La Land. A live-action adaptation of Beavis and Butt-Head with him is currently not in the works.
