🔥 Welcome to Eddington, Where Small-Town Secrets Explode
Ari Aster is back—and this time, he’s trading surreal horror for a slow-burn showdown in the sun-scorched heart of New Mexico. Eddington, his latest film, is already generating serious buzz ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
And now, we’ve got our first look.
🎬 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.

This cast is stacked like a summer blockbuster wish list:
- Joaquin Phoenix as the sheriff navigating moral chaos
