The first trailer for Ari Aster’s next film Eddington has arrived.

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

The contemporary western follows “a couple stranded in a small New Mexico town. Though they are initially welcomed, the town takes a sinister turn by nightfall. Joaquin Phoenix portrays the town’s sheriff with ambitious dreams.”

It stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr. and Amélie Hoeferle.

Aster wrote, directed and is producing the film alongside Lars Knudsen under their Square Peg Banner. 

The film is financed and produced by A24.

It will have its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May.
