One of the most striking films in the competition of the Cannes Film Festival was this year Eddington (2025). The maker of Hereditary (2018), Midsummer (2019) in Beau is Afraid (2023) goes to a town where a power -lusty sheriff waves with the scepter at the time of the Coronapandemie. What does the newly revealed trailer do with our expectations?
Back to the coronation time
The approach of the first teaser of Eddington Stopped pretty well. Practicing actor Joaquin Phoenix (back from a vast after the previous film by Aster) scrolls on those images through a feed full of references to the Coronapandemie, Fake News, Complotting theories and radical political developments.

Yet no release date is currently known, and that means we have to wait for a while. As soon as a release date is added, this will be on the film page of Eddington to stand.
