Pedro Pascal had a strong message about the current political chaos in the U.S. at Cannes: "F--- the people who try to make you scared."

Pedro Pascal had a strong message about the current political chaos in the U.S. at the Cannes press conference for “ Eddington,” telling journalists: “Fuck the people who try to make you scared.” The A24 film — which doesn’t shy away from skewering the MAGA movement — is set at the height of the COVID pandemic in May 2020 and follows “a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal)” that “sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico.” Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward and Clifton Collins Jr. round out the cast. Variety ‘s Owen Gleiberman praised “Eddington” in his review, calling the film a “brazenly provocative Western thriller” that sets out to “capture the creeping unreality of what America’s become.”
