Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal, Joaquin Phoenix and Austin Butler will play in the upcoming film by the American director Ari Aster, entitled "Eddington", that A24 will finance and produce, reports EFE on Wednesday. The production company A24 ("Everything, Everywhere, All at Once") made the announcement on on his Instagram account, where he shared a photo of a movie clapperboard sitting on some desert rocks with the word "Eddington" written on it.
The rest of the cast is completed by Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr. and Deirdre O'Connell. So far, all that is known about the plot of the film is that it tells the story of a sheriff in a small town in New Mexico with "higher" aspirations.
The American specialist press believes that this film could be another horror film, taking into account the fact that Aster has directed productions such as "Midsommar" and "Hereditary" in his career.
The production of the film, whose script is also signed by Aster, will begin this week, and the director of photography will be Darius Khondji, nominated twice for the Oscar for "Evita", by Alan Parker, and "Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths", by Alejandro González Iñárritu.
Phoenix also collaborated with the American director on "Beau is Afraid" (2023), a role that brought her a nomination at the most recent Golden Globes. Stone was crowned the best actress at the last edition of the Oscars for the role of Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos' "Poor Things," while Pedro Pascal won Best Actor in a Drama Series at the Screen Actors Guild SAG Awards for "The Last of Us."
Austin Butler is among the protagonists in the movie "Dune: Part Two", by Denis Villeneuve, but also in "The Bikeriders", by Jeff Nichols, whose release is scheduled for June.
