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, an artist with an imminent exhibition and a nervy benefactor, will make her deadline.

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...

The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival continues on Day 4 with the world premieres of Eddington, directed by Ari Aster; Bono: Stories of Surrender, and Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut, The Chronology of Water.

Aster’s Eddington premiered today, featuring Joaquin Phoenix as a small-town Sheriff in a New Mexico conflict with Pedro Pascal’s Mayor. The film’s ensemble cast includes Joaquin Phoenix, Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Clifton Collins Jr., Micheal Ward, Amelie Hoeferle, Matt Gomez Hidaka, and Cameron Mann, who all walked the red carpet at the Grand Théâtre Lumière on Friday, May 16th

The Palais des Festivals played host this evening to the debut of Kristen Stewart’s The Chronology of Water, starring Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Michael Epp, Esmé Creed-Miles, Kim Gordon, and Jim Belushi.

Making his Cannes Film Festival Competition debut, Ari Aster unveiled Eddington this evening, with the psychological western lassoing a nearly seven-minute ovation that included scattered clapping during the credits.

Star Joaquin Phoenix was tearing up as the applause continued.

“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.

Joaquin‘s longtime partner Rooney Mara also attended the premiere along with Pedro‘s sister Lux Pascal.

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.

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.

Eddington is a Western thriller mixed with black comedy. It stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., and Amélie Hoeferle.

In the trailer, a man’s voice speaks at the start: “Of course, they keep looking at that lab in China. If you look at that lab in Wuhan. When that was established, it was 1956, of course, that was the year Tom Hanks was born, the first celebrity with the virus.”

Phoenix plays a sheriff in a small New Mexico town named Eddington. He starts to go against the town’s mayor, played by Pedro Pascal, during a time when a pandemic is spreading.

In one scene, Phoenix’s character scrolls through social media.

An official trailer has been released for A24's Eddington. The film is the latest movie from acclaimed director Ari Aster.

Eddington is slated to hit movie theaters on July 18, 2025. The film features several familiar faces, including Pedro Pascal, who just returned to the small screen with the Season 2 premiere of The Last of Us. He's joined by other big stars like Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), with the two actors, along with their other co-stars, appearing in the new trailer. Check out the trailer below.

Ari Aster’s fourth film, Eddington, is set in May of 2020 and depicts a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) that, per distributor A24, “sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.” You wouldn’t know from its official logline that the film has any connection to the Covid-19 pandemic. Not so for the film’s first teaser, which depicts Phoenix’s character doomscrolling, as many of us did, during what appears to be lockdown.

Aster’s film, which will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month, also stars Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Cameron Mann, Matt Gomez Hidaka, and Amélie Hoeferle.

“If you value your life, you should think twice because the people at Eddington like guns,” Phoenix says sternly in the disorienting trailer.

At a later point, Butler says, “Your pain is not a coincidence. You are not a coincidence. We are not a coincidence.”

American author Stephen King is much loved by his fans for crafting some of the most iconic horror stories. The author has written many cult classics like It, The Shining, Pet Sematary, The Outsider, and more.

His books have also inspired multiple TV and film productions, with the 1980s The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall, being the most popular. Hence, it’s no surprise that the 76-year-old writer is considered an authority in the horror genre.

Most recently, King shared his take on a 2024 horror film which received an abysmal Rotten Tomatoes rating of just 21%. The author disagreed with critics’ opinions about the film.

Released in 2014, Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst made a proof-of-concept short film called Night Swim. Citing inspirations such as Jaws, Christine, and Poltergeist, the ensuing four minutes play with the uncanny feeling of being watched by somebody, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. It was an impressive enough debut that Blumhouse picked it up for a feature-length adaptation, also entitled Night Swim, although the results are more sink than swim.

Soon after the release of M3GAN in January of 2023, it was announced that the team behind the film – Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, and James Wan’s production company Atomic Monster – were aiming to replicate M3GAN‘s January theatrical success by setting a January 2024 release date for their supernatural thriller Night Swim. The movie didn’t manage to go over as well or get as much attention as M3GAN did, and was given a VOD release by the end of January.

It’s been eight years since we last visited the world of Panem. Now the world spans to five films and this time we’re sent back over 60 years to see the 10th annual Hunger Games and the rise of Coriolanus Snow. This time Snow is played by newcomer Tom Blyth, who has to carry the runtime of the film all by himself. He’s joined for the most part by Rachel Zegler, who plays Lucy Gray.

The two leads carry the film effortlessly, Tom Blyth in particular does a fantastic job of giving complexity to Snow, showcasing a flawed but ambitious character as we slowly see his loss of humanity grow on screen. The film, unlike its predecessors,...

Oh, so you thought you could move into a brand-new house while in the midst of personal upheaval, flout all the rules of conventional horror wisdom by taking solo swims in the creepy backyard swimming pool at night, and not get subjected to intense and possibly supernatural phenomena? Ones that may or may not represent a metaphor for anything up to and including trauma, loss, and the monkey's paw of getting what we think we want the most? Is it your first day on Planet Earth or something??

Alright, I suppose we can't hold it against the fictional characters of "Night Swim" for not knowing that they were in a horror movie the entire time, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating that they didn't see all those scares coming. For those who went out to theaters to check out the Wyatt Russell-starring flick, you were treated to...

Soon after the release of M3GAN back in January, it was announced that the team behind the film – Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, and James Wan’s production company Atomic Monster – were aiming to replicate M3GAN‘s January theatrical success by setting a January 2024 release date for their supernatural thriller Night Swim. The movie reached theatres at the start of this month – and didn’t manage to go over as well or get as much attention as M3GAN did. While M3GAN earned over $180 million during its theatrical run, Night Swim has only pulled in about $37 million at this point. Now the movie is heading to the small screen, as it’s getting a VOD and digital release this week, on January 23rd. If you want to watch the movie in the comfort of your own home tomorrow, it will set you back $29.99 on Amazon.

Released in 2014, Bryce McGuire and Rod Blackhurst made a proof-of-concept short film called Night Swim. Citing inspirations such as Jaws, Christine, and Poltergeist, the ensuing four minutes play with the uncanny feeling of being watched by somebody, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. It was an impressive enough debut that Blumhouse picked it up for a feature-length adaptation, also entitled Night Swim, although the results are more sink than swim.

After a degenerative illness forces him into early retirement, former baseball player Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell) moves into a new house with his wife, Eve Waller (Kerry Condon), and their two children. With a backyard swimming pool offering fun for the kids and physical therapy for the dad,...

Universal, Blumhouse and co-producer James Wan took us for a Night Swim in theaters over the weekend, with the Bryce McGuire-directed horror movie becoming the genre’s very first theatrical release of the new year. Was it a strong start for the horror genre, you ask?

Night Swim debuted in 3,250 theaters across the United States over the weekend, opening to $12 million domestically. Worldwide, the film scared up $17.6 million in its debut.

Here’s the day-to-day breakdown here in the United States:

Friday, January 5: $5,250,000 Saturday, January 6: $4,180,000 Sunday, January 7: $2,570,000

For the sake of comparison, Blumhouse’s M3GAN was released in January of last year, and the viral appeal of the title character drove the film to a $30 million domestic opening. Granted, nobody in their right mind expected Night Swim to perform the way M3GAN did.

Other recent Blumhouse releases and their domestic opening weekend totals include Five Nights at Freddy’s...

Writer and director Bryce McGuire's Night Swim, based on the 2014 short film of the same name, follows Ray Waller (Wyatt Russell), a pro baseball player forced into early retirement after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Along with his wife, Eve (Kerry Condon), teenage daughter Izzy (Amelie Hoeferle), and young son Elliot (Gavin Warren), the family relocates to a new home with an underground swimming pool that will provide physical therapy for Ray and recreational entertainment for the kids.

As the Wallers dive in, they discover the pool harbors some strange properties. An ancient evil lurks in the water, and it wants to possess one family member and kill the others. McGuire recently spoke to Cbr about finding the hook for his narrative, underwater sequences, and freaky pools.
