A24 Partners With Legendary Photographer Gregory Crewdson on Image for Ari Aster’s ‘Eddington’ (EXCLUSIVE)
A24 has partnered with photographer Gregory Crewdson on an exclusive image inspired by Ari Aster's "Eddington."
That changed after he got an invitation from Ari Aster and A24 to compose a custom image from the set of “ Eddington,” a darkly comedic look at a sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) navigating small town politics during the height of COVID that premieres this month. Crewdson’s images, whether they are set in abandoned streets or cramped basements, often capture, in his words, “a moment between moments.” That’s certainly the case in the picture he took of Phoenix, standing alone in the center of town, flanked by a gunshop and a boarded up house, the taillights of a truck in the distance. Aster cites Crewdson as an early influence on his films, praising the “the way [his photos] rendered the mundane so strange and eerie.” He also admired their “extreme formalism, the painterly quality of the compositions and the vibrancy and control of color.”
