Eddington Trailer with Phoenix, Pascal, Butler, Stone, and More

A24 has released the official trailer for Eddington, the upcoming Western black comedy film written and directed by Ari Aster. The movie will have its World Premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Not yet rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), Eddington will be released in theaters on July 18, 2025.

The film is officially described as follows: “In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.”

The cast includes Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Belleau, with Austin Butler and Emma Stone.

Production for the film began in March 2024, with Aster writing, directing, and producing alongside Lars Knudsen under their Square Peg production company. A24 is financing and producing the movie.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Darius Khondji (Evita, Bardo) is the director of photography, and the music is by Bobby Krlic (Ari Aster’s Midsommar and Beau Is Afraid).

Eddington marks the sixth collaboration between Square Peg and A24, which produced and distributed Aster’s previous three films — Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau Is Afraid — as well as Dream Scenario.

Square Peg and A24 are also working together on upcoming projects such as The Drama and Primetime.
