The wait is almost over! The final trailer for Eddington, Ari Aster’s highly anticipated new film, has finally arrived—and it’s as intense and intriguing as we hoped.

Aster trades in his signature surreal horror for a slow-burn psychological showdown set in the sun-scorched heart of New Mexico.

Eddington is already generating serious buzz ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and this first look gives us a chilling glimpse at what’s to come.

🎬 What’s Eddington About?

Set in May 2020, Eddington unravels the story of a volatile standoff between a small-town sheriff, played by Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix, and the town’s hardheaded mayor, played by Pedro Pascal.

As tension boils over in the fictional town of Eddington, New Mexico, what starts as a political dispute turns into a full-blown crisis—dividing neighbors, testing loyalties, and exposing buried secrets.

With Aster at the helm, expect layered storytelling and edge-of-your-seat intensity.
