The Weeknd’s ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Trailer Follows a Celebrated Musician’s Emotional Lows


The Weeknd's 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' trailer follows an insomnia-plagued musician's journey to understand the core of his existence.

The Weeknd, born Abel Tesfaye, first announced the film project in December, and described it as a “musically driven psychological thriller.” It follows a musician who journeys with a stranger to unravel his own identity, a synopsis explains. Hurry Up Tomorrow features collaborations with Justice, Florence + the Machine, Future, Giorgio Moroder, and Lana Del Rey, with Rolling Stone calling it “dazzling and frustrating, with moments of lyrical clarity and sonic density that stand out amidst the heavy-hearted reflections and even heavier synths.” After his best-selling album After Hours didn’t receive any Grammy nominations, the Weeknd called the Recording Academy “corrupt” and lacking “transparency.” “Collaboratively planning a performance for weeks to not being invited?” he wrote on social media November 2020.
