“We are in a fight against evil.” A24 has revealed one final official trailer for Ari Aster’s Eddington, set to crash into theaters this July. Ready to watch them fight? This premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews – some love it, some hate it, most were right in the middle on it. The film features Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., Amélie Hoeferle, William Belleau, plus Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only short synopsis: In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in the small town of Eddington, NM. This is sort of a pandemic movie but it’s mainly about how the Covid-19 pandemic broke the minds of many Americans, showing the downfall of many people in this one tiny town. Led by the Sheriff who goes crazy while in a feud with the local Mayor. I’m not a big fan of Eddington – I think it’s a bit of a mess with a mixed message that doesn’t hit hard enough. Although this trailer does make it look like a damn good movie with some radical modern western vibes. Fire it up below.
