Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and More Join Director Ari Aster's EDDINGTON

Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) has gathered together an impressive cast for his next film project, Eddington. That cast includes Joaquin Phoenix (Beau Is Afraid), Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us), Emma Stone (Poor Things), Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Austin Butler (Elvis), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey).

Eddington is a dark Western noir comedy, and when previously talking about it, the filmmaker said: “For like five years, I was trying to get that Western-noir dark ensemble comedy going…Although it’s sort of a – I don’t know if you’d call it a revisionist western. It’s contemporary; one foot is in the western, and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre. So it’s like a film noir ensemble western dark comedy.”

Aster will direct from his own script and produce. This seems like it’s going to be a different kind of film project for him, and I’m curious to see what kind of story it will tell, especially with this epic cast that he’s pulled together for it.
