Ari Aster was approached to direct Morbius, the filmmaker reluctantly revealed in a recent interview Semafor.

Following the success of Hereditary and Midsommar, Aster met with Sony about turning the Marvel Comics character into a film — but it was decidedly not Morbin time, as Aster instead went on to make Beau Is Afraid.

Released in 2022, Morbius ended up being written by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless (“Lost in Space”) and directed by Daniel Espinosa (Life) with Jared Leto in the titular role.

Aster’s new film, Eddington, is in theaters today from A24.

Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal star in the contemporary western alongside Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone.

In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review,...

Ari Aster is expanding the fictional town of Eddington into Queens, NY. The auteur is partnering with the Museum of the Moving Image to host the new film series “Eddington City Limits,” highlighting the features that inspired his acclaimed Covid-set Western.

Aster will be in attendance for two out of the five films that will screen; the program ranges from Robert Altman’s iconic “Nashville” to Lars von Trier’s beloved “Dogville.” The series is co-programmed by Aster and MoMI Senior Curator of Film Michael Koresky, and will take place from August 15 to 31. “Eddington” opens in theaters today, July 18.

As the description for the film series states, “Eddington City Limits” will include “movies that both directly inspired or echo the escalating madness of ‘Eddington,’ depicting powder-keg communities ready to spill over into violence or enclosed worlds so given to conspiracy and obsession that there’s no longer any sense of coherent reality.

With last weekend’s “super” domination at the multiplex by one big blockbuster, some filmgoers may be looking for a break from the usual escapist Summer cinematic offerings. Well, that “indie upstart” A24 is always ready to provide a diversion that’s truly “off the beaten path”. And the setting for this flick is “way off” that trail, as an acclaimed, somewhat eccentric filmmaker guides us into a dusty desert town that’s fraught with old feuds and frustrations. Plus, the early 2020 “climate” not only brings everyone there to a “boiling point”, but it may provide the ‘spark” that could ignite the “tinderbox town” of Eddington.

The village that has “seen better days” is in a remote part of New Mexico. The timeline of the tale is May 2020. In the opening scene, the town’s longtime sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) gets into a “dust-up” with two patrolmen from a...

The Eddington mayoral race went straight to the heads of Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal).

In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.

Phoenix and Pascal star alongside Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “Eddington makes you sit with the discomforting tour down memory lane, just dialed up to violent, satirical excess. That it feels like it’s punching down in its pitch-black observations only further frustrates.

Note: This review was originally published as part of our 2025 Cannes coverage. Eddington opens in theaters on July 18.

In Eddington, Ari Aster’s latest doom spiral, the proposed building of a data center in nowhere New Mexico provides the catalyst for a long-overdue psychological breakdown. The man in question is Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), whose perceived list of ills includes a worryingly online mother-in-law (Deirdre O’Connell), a disinterested, catatonic wife (Emma Stone), a woke mayor (Pedro Pascal) with plans to build a state of the art data centre, and the familiar inconveniences of Covid-19. Should even reading that word cause discomfort, it’s nothing if not intended: since rewiring the horror genre with A24, Aster has been repositioning himself as cinema’s patron saint of debilitating anxiety. Hereditary is probably best-remembered for its brutal decapitation but, all these years later, one suspects the scariest thing for Aster was whether or not his protagonist,...

When it comes to writer/director Ari Aster, the only thing that it seems movie fans can expect is to expect the unexpected. From Hereditary through Midsommar right up to Beau is Afraid, it’s hard to tell what the auteur is going to do. And that trend continues with his newest movie, Eddington.

Set in May of the year 2020 in the town of Eddington, New Mexico, Eddington finds the small community in the midst of a political struggle between the progressive mayor Ted Garcia (The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal) and the town’s conservative sheriff, Joe Cross. Since it’s an election year, and since Joe opposes every idea Ted has, Joe decides to run against him. The political discourse splits the town in half, and everyone’s secrets are about to be revealed.

Now, there is one more...

The Walking Dead and Percy Jackson and the Olympians stars have joined a new YA drama series for Prime Video. The zombie horror series aired on AMC for 11 seasons, producing various spin-offs, including Dead City and Daryl Dixon, whereas Percy Jackson and the Olympians is one of Disney+'s biggest hits.

What This Means For Sterling Point The YA Series Will Feature...

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jay Duplass are set to recur in Prime Video’s YA series Sterling Point.

Created by Megan Park, who will also direct and executive produce, Sterling Point is described as an ensemble drama with comedy and heart about sisterhood, nature vs nurture, complicated family dynamics, and grief.

Morgan will play Joe, while Duplass will portray Steven. The main cast includes Ella Rubin as Annie, Amélie Hoeferle as Ramona, Jacob Whiteduck-Lavoie (Ellis), Keen Ruffalo (Connor), Bo Bragason (Oona), and Daniel Quinn-Toye (Rory).

Park executive produces and co-showruns alongside Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of Fake Empire. Amazon MGM Studios is the studio.

Not for nothing does Eddington arrive with the tagline “Hindsight is 2020.” Ari Aster’s film looks back at the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic not with the clear vision afforded by retrospection, but from the bottom of the rift that America is still stuck in. It’s a fissure that, as Aster sees it, cracked wide open the moment that polarized politics, social and educational failings, and social media brain rot came up against a make-or-break crisis.

In early 2020, the fictional New Mexico town of Eddington is mandating social distance and masking rules, and much to the chagrin of its asthmatic sheriff, Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), who thinks the concerns plaguing major metropolitan areas have no business intruding into the affairs of his one-horse burg. But Eddington isn’t as isolated from the problems of modernity as Joe believes. For one, a tech giant named solidgoldmagikarp, with the support...

A24 has teamed up with acclaimed fine art photographer Gregory Crewdson to release a limited edition Eddington print.

Priced at $250, the digital pigment print measures 17×22 with an 11.5×20.5 image. It’s limited to 1,000, each signed by the artist. A numbered certificate of authenticity is included.

This marks the first time Crewdson has made an original work for a film. Writer-director Ari Aster personally posed the idea, which Crewdson accepted due to his admiration for Aster’s work and a shared aesthetic sensibility.

Features Joaquin Phoenix in his role as Joe Cross, A24 produced the picture with Crewdson, his own director of photography and lighting team, alongside the film’s production and art department.

“I’m a big fan of Ari’s and I love his films,” Crewdson told Variety. “I feel very connected to them in terms of their aesthetic and their sensibility. My pictures are very concerned with the psychological underpinnings of everyday life,...

Emma Stone says she’s glad she got to rehearse with Joaquin Phoenix before making “Eddington.”

But she’s not always keen on rehearsal.

“We rehearsed. We went through everything,” Stone told me Thursday at the “Eddington” premiere at the DGA in West Hollywood. “Rehearsal is a little bit of mixed bag for me sometimes. Sometimes I really really enjoy it and sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh God we’re just doing it and it’s going to ruin everything,’ but this was one of the good ones.”

Ari Aster’s “Eddington” stars Phoenix as the sheriff of a small New Mexico town during the Covid pandemic who surprises everyone when he announces – including his wife, played by Stone – that he’s going to run for mayor against the incumbent (Pedro Pascal).

Rounding out the cast are Luke Grimes, Austin Butler, Deidre O’Connell, Michael Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Amélie Hoeferle,...

A24 has revealed the final trailer for the Eddington movie, the upcoming Western black comedy written and directed by Ari Aster. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 16.

Opening in theaters on July 18, the Eddington movie has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for strong violence, some grisly images, language, and graphic nudity.

From writer-director Ari Aster comes a modern Western and paranoid thriller set in the American Southwest during the tumultuous summer of 2020. Isolated and sheltered in place, in a global pandemic, a nation under pressure found itself sifting reality through the haze of social media and lost its collective mind.

Eddington stars Joaquin Phoenix as small-town sheriff Joe Cross, who runs for mayor when progressive incumbent Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) attempts to modernize their dusty hamlet by attracting a new artificial-intelligence data center.

Get ready for a serious lineup! Eddington features an absolutely stacked cast, bringing together some of the most compelling talents working today. They include Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, and Clifton Collins Jr. Joining this powerhouse ensemble are Austin Butler and Emma Stone. Taking place in the stormy May of 2020, a small town in New Mexico sets the scene for a tense standoff that quickly escalates into a full-blown conflict between a sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) who works for the people and a mayor (Pedro Pascal) who has gone rogue. What began as a local dispute soon intensifies into a neighbor-vs-neighbor contest, seemingly destined to draw even more people into the fray. This appears to mirror the current situation in America on a number of fronts—troubled, divided, but without any clear leaders. This first-look gives a deeper view into the extraordinary world that Aster has crafted.

There's a small-town showdown brewing in A24 and Ari Aster's upcoming darkly comedic contemporary Western, Eddington. Following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last month, a new trailer has just been released, teasing the upcoming battle for the soul of the titular locale between Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal. Phoenix, in a reunion with Aster after their surreal adventure, Beau Is Afraid, in 2023, plays the town's sheriff, Joe Cross, while Pascal embodies Mayor Ted Garcia, both of whom fall on vastly different sides of a fractured society. What follows is an ugly power struggle that pits neighbor against neighbor in a microcosm of the upheaval around the country during the 2020 pandemic.

A24 has dropped the trailer for “Eddington,” Ari Aster’s modern western that divided the Cannes Film Festival after its Croisette premiere. The film will hit theaters nationwide July 18 — and it very well may “hit” with heated debate.

The film takes place in 2020 — yes, that 2020 — in the most visceral way, with the anti-mask local sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) of the fictional Eddington, New Mexico, facing off against the town’s Covid-guideline-advocate mayor, played by Pedro Pascal (the second of his three summer releases). The heavy-hitter cast also includes Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Belleau, all of whom represent various perspectives on the pandemic spectrum.

IndieWire reported last month on the film’s polarizing audience response, with people truly either loving or hating the film, and few in between. The cast and crew addressed the controversial Covid epic’s hot-button...

Covid conspiracy theories abound in the first full trailer for Ari Aster’s latest film, “Eddington.” Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal, the Western goes back to the politically charged summer of 2020, following a mayoral race between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and the incumbent electee (Pascal).

The new footage pulls viewers back five years, with sequences of six-foot-enforced social distancing, protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd and online conspiracy theorists. There’s also more heightened genre elements, including explosions, gun fights and a mysterious corporate private plane hovering over the desert.

The cast also includes Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr. and William Belleau. “Eddington” is Aster’s fourth feature film, following “Hereditary” in 2018, “Midsommar” in 2019 and “Beau Is Afraid” in 2023.

The trailer comes a few weeks after the premiere of “Eddington at Cannes Film Festival in the gathering’s official competition section.

When writer/director Ari Aster stood up for the ovation after the Cannes premiere of his divisive 2020-set Western “Eddington”, he said, “I feel very privileged to be here. This is a dream come true. Thank you so much for having me. And, I don’t know, sorry?”

Indeed, festival attendees have been fiercely divided by his 145-minute portrait of a fictional New Mexico town wracked by Covid, BLM, Acab, you-name-it-2020-buzz-concept during the darkest season of American lives in recent memory. Joaquin Phoenix (Aster’s “Beau Is Afraid”) plays a conservative sheriff who decides to run against his Gavin Newsom-esque, pro-masks-and-testing adversary, Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), in the local mayoral election.

Meanwhile, at home, Phoenix’s character Joe Cross is in a quarantine bubble with his hysteria-addled wife Louise (Emma Stone) and her far-right conspiracy-obsessed mother Dawn (Deirdre O’Connell), the type for whom hydroxychloroquine was presumably a panacea.

Ari Aster’s fourth film, Eddington is on the horizon.

The Western thriller and black comedy film follows Aster’s Beau Is Afraid (2023) starring Joaquin Phoenix, who has reteamed with the director on his latest project. Aster was also behind films like the Florence Pugh-starring Midsommar (2019) and Hereditary (2018) and C’est La Vie (2016).

For everything we know about Eddington, read on below:

When does Eddington come out?

The film first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 to a nearly seven-minute standing ovation.

Deadline’s Damon Wise praised director Ari Aster for being “willing to go there” in terms of satirizing modern America and “for depicting a slice of history that we have yet to see properly shown on film, even though it happened only five years ago.”

When does Eddington come to theaters?...

Ari Aster would like you to go back in time. The writer-director of Hereditary and Midsommar doesn’t need you to travel too far. Just five years. You probably remember a few of the details from May 2020: social distancing, social-media diatribes, swabs being thrust violently into nasal cavities, “I Can’t Breathe,” uprisings in the streets. It’s crazy to think all of this took place half a decade ago. It’s even crazier to ignore the creeping sensation that we’re still trapped in the moment when social stress fractures became chasms,...

Did we all go completely nuts during those unsettlingly strange first months of Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, when cities became ghost towns and people thrust into isolation started gambling with their mental health by living online and buying whatever the social media echo chamber coughed up? That’s the assessment in Ari Aster’s Eddington, which views that collective national trauma through the microcosm of a fictitious New Mexico small town. Essentially a modern Western marbled with a vein of dark comedy, the movie is neither suspenseful nor funny enough to work as either. Mostly, it’s a distancing slog.

After the diabolically well-crafted classic horror of Hereditary and Midsommar, gifted writer-director Aster took a turn into more personal territory with the uneven Oedipal odyssey Beau Is Afraid, a tumble down a rabbit hole of neuroses full of striking nightmarish imagery and poignant confessional moments of crippled masculinity. Ultimately, though, the...

“I don’t know what you think,” a beaming Aster joked to the crowd, drawing laughs. “Thank you for being here. I feel very privileged to be here. It’s a dream come true. Thank you so much for having me. And, I don’t know — sorry? I don’t know.”

He added: “This was a great experience. I love all these people around me.”

Ari Aster made his Cannes Film Festival debut Friday with the world premiere of his latest psychological nightmare — this time a Western set in Covid times — on Friday. “Eddington” reunites the “Hereditary,” “Midsommar” and “Beau Is Afraid” filmmaker with the latter film’s Joaquin Phoenix. Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler also star.

Aster has become known as a master of the psychological horror genre following his breakout film “Hereditary,” an intense look at the consequences of inherited family trauma, in 2018. In “Eddington,” Phoenix plays local sheriff Joe Cross in a small town in New Mexico during the 2020 Covid pandemic. Cross comes to a head with Pedro Pascal’s Ted Garcia, the town’s mayor who leads the community into a world of chaos with his questionable decision-making. The film explores the power of fake news, the fragility of community and how conspiracy theories can lead to a rabbit...

Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone and Austin Butler have little to work with in this disappointing dud from the Hereditary and Midsommar director

Ari Aster now worryingly creates a losing streak with this bafflingly dull movie, a laborious and weirdly self-important satire which makes a heavy, flavourless meal of some uninteresting and unoriginal thoughts – on the Covid lockdown, online conspiracy theories, social polarisation, Black Lives Matter, liberal-white privilege and guns.

The movie looks good, courtesy of Darius Khondji’s cinematography, but has nothing new or dramatically vital to say, and moreover manages the extraordinary achievement of making Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix look like boring actors. This is by virtue of its moderate script and by the unvarying stolid pace over its hefty running time which might have suited a 12-episode streamer.

Eddington is a fictional small town in New Mexico in the US,...

Ahead of Ari Aster’s new film Eddington premiering at the 2025 edition of Cannes, A24 has released a puzzling teaser trailer showing a world in chaos in the early days of 2020. Starring Joaquin Phoenix in a massive cowboy hat and a seemingly charismatic Pedro Pascal, Aster has described his latest film as “a film noir ensemble western dark comedy.” It seems like Aster is moving further away from more traditional horror territory and into something much more grounded in the horrors of our current cultural moment.

The official synopsis reads, “In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.”

May of 2020 was a troubling time for the world, where we all were trapped and isolated, trying to make sense of a new reality we quickly had to adapt to. With...

A24’s launched the first teaser for Eddington ahead of its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The trailer doesn’t give away much but does confirm writer/director Ari Aster’s (Beau is Afraid) latest feature is sure to stir up feelings/controversy. One commenter on YouTube wrote, “I expect nothing but calm and rational discussions about this movie going forward.” (Too bad sarcasm doesn’t have a designated font.)

The contemporary Western stars a bevy of big names, including Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone. Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, and Micheal Ward also star.

“In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico,” reads A24’s synopsis.

Eddington opens in theaters on July 18, 2025.

The footage from the trailer looks like it’s solely modeled after social media clips, with Emma’s character saying, she’s “speaking now to deny [her] husband’s announcement yesterday, which was false” and Joaquin’s saying, “the people of Eddington like guns.”

The film will be hitting theaters on July 18, 2025.

Watch the debut teaser for the movie.

The first trailer for Eddington offers a chaotic first look at Ari Aster's upcoming A24 Western feature ahead of its premiere next month. The movie centers on the conflict between small-town sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and local mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) in the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, but the first footage reveals that pressures from external factors will only intensify their personal and political standoff, including real-world issues such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement.

The tagline that accompanied the trailer on social media read "Hindsight is 2020," referencing the tumultuous year that saw the onset of the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease and the widespread demonstrations protesting racial injustice and police brutality. "Of course, they keep looking at that lab in China. If you look at that lab in Wuhan," a voice narrates over the clips at the beginning of the trailer.

"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 short 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 small 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.
