"Eddington" trailer released.
The trailer dropped Tuesday morning, and it's a very trippy ride. That shouldn't surprise anyone. A24 is known for pushing the limits and doing things far from normal.
Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
What do we all think about the preview? Again, it seems unlike any Western we've seen before, and the fact it takes place during the height of 2020 insanity is certainly an interesting plot point.
Something makes me think this film might get a shade preachy, but I'll reserve judgment until I see it, which I will 100% will be doing.
What I do know is that the cast is outrageously stacked. Getting Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Luke Grimes together for a movie is awesome.
Every one of them has had a great career, and Austin Butler is seriously in play for Hollywood's next "it man."
Furthermore, Luke Grimes crushed it for five seasons on "Yellowstone." He's definitely familiar with the genre, even if "Eddington" will be a very different vibe.
