The trailer for Hurry Up Tomorrow, starring Jenna Ortega, Barry Keoghan, and musician Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (The Weeknd), was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday. The upcoming film is directed by Trey Edward Shults. Inspired by The Weeknd, the film is described as a "musically driven psychological thriller."
The official synopsis of Hurry Up Tomorrow reads, "A musician plagued by insomnia is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence." The trailer with fast-paced visuals shows Abel and Jenna in a relationship, which confuses and complicates the life of the former.
Interestingly, the film shares the same title as The Weeknd's forthcoming album, which concludes his artistic trilogy following 'After Hours' (2020) and 'Dawn FM' (2022). Hurry Up Tomorrow is backed by The Weeknd through his banner Manic Phase and Reza Fahim, alongside Harrison Kreiss and the late Kevin Turen. It is executive produced by Ortega and Edward Shults, alongside Michael Rapino, Ryan Kroft, Harrison Huffman, and Wassim “Sal” Slaiby.
The film has cinematography by Chayse Irvin, music by The Weeknd and Daniel Lopatin, production design by Elliott Hostetter, and costume design by Erin Benach and Hannah Jacobs.
Hurry Up Tomorrow is all set to hit theatres on May 16. Final Destination Bloodlines, the latest film in the franchise, is also set to release on the same date.
