Watch: trailer released for Ari Aster's Cannes-acclaimed Eddington film
A24 has released the full trailer for Eddington, a new film by Ari Aster, best known for Hereditary and Midsommar. Slated for release on July 18, the film is set during the tumultuous summer of 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the politically charged atmosphere following the murder of George Floyd. The movie follows a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and the town's mayor (Pedro Pascal), with tensions escalating in the wake of a contentious mayoral race. The trailer reveals a blend of social distancing, protests, and conspiracy theories, along with explosive action scenes, gunfights, and a mysterious corporate plane looming over the desert. Eddington draws inspiration from contemporary America's struggles, offering a satirical look at the complex and volatile period, and features a strong ensemble cast including Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, and Deirdre O'Connell. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received a nearly seven-minute standing ovation. Critics have praised Aster for his willingness to tackle the challenges of modern-day America, calling the film a provocative reflection on recent history. Despite its divisive reception, the film continues to draw attention for its bold exploration of social and political issues. Eddington is Aster's fourth feature, following Beau Is Afraid (2023). The film is produced by A24, with Aster and Lars Knudsen serving as producers under their Square Peg Banner. The film hits theaters on July 18.
