‘Eddington’ Trailer: Joaquin Phoenix Gets Into Standoff With Pedro Pascal In A24’s Covid-Era Western From Filmmaker Ari Aster


'Eddington's first full-length trailer sees Joaquin Phoenix's Eddington, NM sheriff get into a standoff with a mayor played by Pedro Pascal.

For Aster, Eddington marked a reunion with Phoenix on the heels of his last film, the dark A24 comedy Beau Is Afraid. He directed from his own script, with Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Austin Butler, and Emma Stone rounding out the cast. Eddington drew a nearly seven-minute standing ovation in its launch at Cannes, where Deadline’s Damon Wise praised Aster for being “willing to go there” with his satire of modern-day America and all its challenges — “a slice of history that we have yet to see properly shown on film, even though it happened only five years ago.”
