“I’m ready to continue leading our town and fighting the pandemic.” A24 has unveiled the first look teaser trailer for Eddington, the latest Ari Aster movie – his fourth feature after Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau is Afraid in the years before. This next one is premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the prestigious Main Competition, before it arrives in US theaters starting this July in the summer. Written & directed by Aster, this film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, along with Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only brief synopsis so far: In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in the miniature town of Eddington, NM. Oh shit – finally a Covid-19 pandemic movie that’s not really about the pandemic but about how insane people became during the pandemic. This is definitely going to rile people up. I can’t wait to watch this in Cannes.

Here’s the first look teaser trailer (+ poster) for Ari Aster’s movie Eddington, from A24’s YouTube:
