Hurry Up Tomorrow: The Weeknd's Cinematic Dream Turns into a Nightmarish Masterpiece

The Weeknd is making major moves, and this time, it’s not just in music. Lionsgate just dropped the official trailer for his upcoming film Hurry Up Tomorrow, giving fans a first look at the cinematic world inspired by his sixth studio album of the same name. The trailer made its grand debut during his performance at CinemaCon, setting the internet on fire with anticipation.

Directed by indie favorite Trey Edward Shults, Hurry Up Tomorrow brings The Weeknd’s signature moody, intoxicating aesthetic to the big screen. The film features a star-studded cast, including Wednesday breakout star Jenna Ortega and the ever-unpredictable Barry Keoghan, promising a thrilling and visually arresting experience. If the trailer is any indication, we’re in for a ride packed with hedonistic highs, eerie storytelling, and, of course, a killer soundtrack.

Speaking of the soundtrack, fans can expect new and unreleased music from The Weeknd woven seamlessly into the film’s narrative. Given his track record for crafting immersive sonic universes (Dawn FM, After Hours—we’re looking at you), it’s safe to say this won’t just be a movie; it’ll be a full-blown experience.

But don’t expect a lighthearted watch—Hurry Up Tomorrow is set to push boundaries. The film carries an R-rating due to its depiction of drug use, bloody violence, and brief nudity, making it clear that The Weeknd is leaning into the darker, more provocative storytelling he’s known for.

With the fusion of hypnotic visuals, an A-list cast, and The Weeknd’s unmistakable sonic touch, Hurry Up Tomorrow is shaping up to be one of the year's most intriguing releases. No official release date has been confirmed yet, but one thing is for sure—this is a film you won’t want to miss.

Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, watch the trailer on repeat because this one is already giving cult classic vibes.
