Ari Aster's 'Eddington' Trailer Released Ahead of Cannes Premiere

The highly anticipated trailer for Ari Aster's film Eddington has been released, revealing a black comedy western set during the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. The movie features a tense standoff between Joaquin Phoenix's character, the sheriff, and Pedro Pascal's mayor, with the plot unfolding in the small town of Eddington, New Mexico. The trailer showcases a series of social media-style clips, including Phoenix asserting the town's gun culture and Emma Stone denying false statements made by her husband. Eddington is set to hit theaters on July 18, 2025, and will premiere at Cannes next month. The film also stars Austin Butler as a preacher and features a cast that includes Luke Grimes and Deirdre O'Connell. Aster's previous works, including Hereditary and Midsommar, have garnered critical acclaim, and expectations are high for this new venture.
