“You want things simple and neat. We were in a fight against evil.” A24 has revealed the full official trailer for Ari Aster’s latest movie titled Eddington, arriving in theaters this July. This recently premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews – some love it, some hate it, most were right in the middle on it. Written & directed by Aster, with Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, along with Austin Butler & Emma Stone. The only short synopsis so far: 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 also more about how the 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 wish it was a better film, I didn’t like it much, especially because it doesn’t hit hard enough in any direction and rambles on way too long. But if you’re intrigued – go see it in theaters anyway.
Here’s the main official trailer for Ari Aster’s modern western Eddington, from A24’s YouTube:
