A first look image was shared by USA Today for the upcoming A24 horror Opus, which stars Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich.
In Opus, “A young writer is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star who mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago. Surrounded by the star’s cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.”
Hailing from writer and director Mark Anthony Green, the film will release in cinemas on March 14th, 2025. This is his feature directorial debut. The film has been described as “flashy pop horror” and a “tense, psychosocial game of cat and mouse”.
Edebiri, who rose to prominence with roles in The Bear and Bottoms, will play the “meek yet hungry journalist Ariel — her unique charm radiating alongside a distinct final-girl prescience. John Malkovich is effervescent and hypnotic as Moretti, a deified global phenomenon making a dramatically malevolent reintroduction.” Reports out of Sundance suggest the flick includes musical numbers. Opus will have its world premiere at the film festival later this month.
The film stars Amber Midthunder, Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Stephanie Suganami, Young Mazino, and Tatanka Means.
