‘Eddington’: Watch The Trailer For Ari Aster’s Explosive New Film
Ari Aster and Joaquin Phoenix are reuniting for Aster’s fourth feature film, Eddington. This time, Phoenix plays a small-town sheriff as Aster crafts a tale about the degradation of America in the face of turmoil.
The film’s synopsis reads, “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.”
Watch the official trailer below:
Phoenix stars in Eddington with Pedro Pascal, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Belleau. Austin Butler and Emma Stone also appear in the film.
Aster and Phoenix previously collaborated on Aster’s third film, Beau is Afraid, where Phoenix played the titular Beau. There, Aster and Phoenix tapped into their neuroses to craft a bizarre odyssey for the most anxious man on the planet. Now, with Eddington, it seems they’re going in a very different direction.
Dread Central’s Josh Korngut saw the film at its world premiere at Cannes and awarded it five stars. In his review, he wrote,
“With Ari Aster’s brilliant fourth film, Eddington, he allows the mask of America’s decency to slip off completely, and what’s revealed beneath is the rotting flesh on the face of the chaotic beast we’ve been becoming for so long.“
Eddington comes to theaters on July 18, 2025, from A24.
