WTF happened to JOSH HARTNETT?
After achieving remarkable success with cult classics and gaining popularity in the entertainment industry, Josh Hartnett faced an unexpected challenge in his career. Despite boasting his collaborations with esteemed directors such as Sofia Coppola and Michael Bay, Hartnett had difficulty breaking through to work with legendary director M. Night Shyamalan.
After working with M. Night Shyamalan on his 2024 mystery thriller Trap, Josh Hartnett reflected on the long-awaited chance to team up with the filmmaker. Recalling their first conversation after working on Pearl Harbor (2001), Hartnett said how it took over two decades to realize his collaboration with Shyamalan.
Debuting in 1998 with a feature film Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Josh Hartnett ventured into Hollywood. Although the horror drama did not receive much appreciation from fans and critics, it surprisingly allowed Hartnett to gain attention from popular filmmakers. The actor then found his breakthrough role in 1999, with Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides.
