M. Night Shyamalan‘s latest movie, Trap, is now playing in theaters. But there’s something interesting you should know about it. The movie was partially based on an incredible true story. The film follows Cooper (Josh Hartnett), a seemingly devoted father who harbors a dark secret. Cooper is a notorious serial killer known as “The Butcher.” In a shocking twist, what’s supposed to be a father-daughter bonding experience at a pop concert turns into a deadly trap. In an interview with Empire Magazine, Shyamalan described the film as “Silence of the Lambs meets a Taylor Swift concert.” While the set-up sounds like pure cinematic fantasy, Trap draws inspiration from a real-life sting operation—”Operation Flagship,” one of the most successful maneuvers in history by the U.S. Marshals Service. In December 1985, the U.S. Marshals Service devised a cunning plan to apprehend a large number of fugitives. The Marshals sent out over 3,000 invitations, disguised as being from a sports channel called Flagship

I headed to the theater this past Saturday to watch Deadpool & Wolverine. As I sat laughing, I got a huge surprise I was not expecting: I saw Wesley Snipes walk on screen as his iconic character Blade (pictured). You could hear the audience gasping and breaking out in cheers for the daywalker. Snipe’s appearance in the movie shattered two Guinness World Records for the star. One was for the longest live-action Marvel character, previously held by his fellow co-star Hugh Jackman, who has long played Wolverine. Snipes also broke the record for the largest gap in character appearances, appearing 25 years and 240 days after the first Blade movie debuted in 1998. Two sequels followed: Blade II in 2002 and Blade: Trinity in 2004, which also starred Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds (pictured). As Snipes reclaims the spotlight as Blade, Marvel’s planned reboot starring Mahershala Ali continues languishing in development hell with multiple delays. The latest update came in June, revealing
