Full Trailer for Ari Aster's Pandemic Thriller EDDINGTON with Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal — GeekTyrant
A24 has released the full trailer for director Ari Aster's new film Eddington , which is set during the COVID pandemic, a moment in time that I really have no desire to revisit. That was just such a weird, crazy, and scary time.
Aster is a great filmmaker, though, and it looks like he's made an interesting film. The movie is described as a modern Western and the brief logline reads:
'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.'
The new trailer pulls takes us back five years, when six-foot-enforced social distancing was a thing, and there were protests sparked by the death of George Floyd and there were tons of online conspiracy theorists.
Phoenix and Pascal are joined by Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O'Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr. and William Belleau.
This is Aster's fourth feature film, following Hereditary , Midsommar and Beau Is Afraid , the last of which Phoenix also starred in. When talking about working with Phoenix, Aster said:
'Having now worked with him, I understand why he is so reluctant to jump onto anything — because he really puts all of himself into whatever he's doing. The way that he challenges the material — not in a gratuitous way or in a way that's a pain in the ass.
'The question usually amounts to 'Is there anything we haven't considered here?' I realized that it's something that I was really wanting from an actor, and now I can't imagine making a film without him.'
Eddington is set to open in competition at Cannes. It will be released in the US on July 18.

Johnny Depp says he 'never chased fame' and cannot discuss how much it 'upsets' him
Johnny Depp has "never chased" fame. The 62-year-old actor has been one of the biggest names in Hollywood for more than 40 years but has insisted that being well-known or "pleasing" others was never part of his plan, although he is aware that he cannot really talk about how "upset" it makes him and expect others to sympathise. He told The Sunday Times: "Well, fame is the last thing I ever chased. "If you look at the 9,000 years that I've been doing this s***, it's pretty clear that I wasn't ever thinking how I could be more famous, make a hit or please the press. Fame is an occupational hazard — but if I spout off about how upset I am, people will say, 'Sweetheart, take a job pulling trash bags.' Meanwhile, the Pirates of the Caribbean star grew up as one of four, and even though his parents divorced when he was a teenager, he admitted that the "dynamics changed" once his siblings got married and he found himself having to "step in and out" of family life as he became more well-known. He said: "My brother had his problems with the parents. "There were many episodes of conflict — he and my father would duke it out — and Debbie had her problems with them too. Then Danny got married. Soon Debbie got married too, so it was only me and Christi. Then Christi got married, so it was only me. And dynamics changed. It was almost as if I was used to conflict. It was not abnormal. I did my best to just step in and out. "What were my initial dealings with what we call 'love'? Clearly obtuse. And what that means is, if you're a sucker like I am, sometimes you look in a person's eye and see some sadness, some lonely thing and you feel you can help that person. 'But no good deed goes unpunished. "Because there are those who, when you try to love and help them, will start to give you an understanding of what that malaise, that perturbance was in their eyes. It manifests itself in other ways. And the interesting thing is that it is merely a sliver of my life I have chosen to explore, because it is my mother and my father. Do you know what I'm saying?"

Selena Gomez Is Back in Her Bangs Era
Welcome back to Team Bangs, Selena Gomez. After a dalliance with slightly longer lengths, a brief escapade into blonde, and some variations on the bob (the lob and the puffed variety), the pop star and Rare Beauty founder has settled on her summertime hair refresh. Her longtime makeup artist Hung Vanngo dropped the first picture on his Instagram yesterday (June 21). Her new haircut was done by another go-to Gomez glam team member, Orlando Pita. (Who also often works with Julianne Moore, Sofia Coppola, and Anne Hathaway on their refined, elegant styles.) Photo: Instagram (@hungvanngo) Of recent, Gomez had been wearing her hair in a grown out bob, hitting just below her shoulders. She often sticks to a middle parting, and has been styling it in slicked back buns and high ponytails for the last few months. This time, her new cut features wolf cut-esque choppy layers, with the shagginess from her natural curls providing lots of volume and texture to graze the top of her collarbones. The bangs fall thickly across her brows, but have been cut into to resist any density, and to keep them easy in the summer heat. It's an easily replicable cut, light and breezy for this time of year and requiring little maintenance. Selena Gomez is no stranger to the bob, which has become somewhat of a signature look for her red carpet appearances. There was a soft and waved bob worn at the American French Film Festival, a glamorous old Hollywood bob for the Golden Globes, and a more experimental wet-look, flipped bob at the 4th Academy Museum Gala last year. A longtime fan of the bob, Selena Gomez JB Lacroix BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 02: Selena Gomez attends the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 02, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage) Karwai Tang Bangs, too, have called Gomez back time and time again. Last year, she debuted some '70s style curtain bangs that hit below the brow. On other occasions, she switched it up to a more messy, piecey fringe that looks great with up-dos, face-framing Brigitte Bardot-esque bangs, and a casual curly set. A beauty mogul, Gomez is a serial re-inventor unafraid of the style switch up, whether that's a statement lip or total hair transformation.
