Imagine if Salvador Dalí directed a thriller set in a neon-lit dreamscape—that's the vibe you get from the new character posters for The Weeknd's upcoming film, “Hurry Up Tomorrow.” These posters aren't just promotional material; they're a window into the surreal, unsettling world that awaits audiences on May 16.
The posters feature Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd), Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan, each lying on a vivid cherry-red floor, their expressions ranging from bewilderment to tranquility. Tesfaye appears to be in the throes of a nightmarish trip, Ortega gazes upward with a serene yet unsettling clarity, and Keoghan seems to be catching a few moments of rest before diving back into chaos.
These images aren't just visually striking; they hint at the film's themes of insomnia, identity, and existential crisis. Directed by Trey Edward Shults, “Hurry Up Tomorrow” is poised to be a psychological thriller that blurs the lines between reality and illusion. The film's screenplay, co-written by The Weeknd and Reza Fahim, promises a narrative as complex and layered as the posters suggest.
“Hurry Up Tomorrow” is more than just a film; it's the culmination of The Weeknd's musical trilogy, following the albums “Dawn FM” (2022) and “After Hours” (2020). This final chapter is described as a creative apex, filled with existential and self-referential themes that have fans buzzing with anticipation.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shults described the film as a mix of psychological thriller and drama, stating,
“I honestly feel like I've never seen a movie quite like it.”
This bold claim is backed by the film's unique premise: a musician plagued by insomnia is pulled into an odyssey with a stranger, unraveling the very core of his existence.
The character posters of “Hurry Up Tomorrow” serve as artistic previews which hint at an imaginative cinematic journey that will engage and confront viewers. The Weeknd's music fans and fans of psychological thrillers will both experience an unforgettable cinematic moment through this movie.
