]]>Phoenix previously collaborated with Aster on Beau Is Afraid, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. The Oscar-winner will lead his next film Eddington, and he’ll be joined by the two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone (Poor Things), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), and Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us).
In addition to these four A-list stars, the supporting cast of this project will also include Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey).
Aster previously discussed Eddington in one of his Reddit AMAs and said he’s been plotting a Western-noir dark ensemble comedy for years. He described it as a “revisionist Western” that’s “one foot in the Western and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre.”
Eddington will mark Aster’s fourth A24 film following horrors Hereditary and Midsommar and tragicomedy Beau Is Afraid. In addition to writing and directing it, he’ll also be credited as a producer with his Square Peg partner Lars Knudsen.

]]>The post Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal, & Austin Butler Board Ari Aster’s New Film “Eddington” appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Phoenix previously collaborated with Aster on Beau Is Afraid, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. The Oscar-winner will lead his next film Eddington, and he’ll be joined by the two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone (Poor Things), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), and Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us).
In addition to these four A-list stars, the supporting cast of this project will also include Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey).
Aster previously discussed Eddington in one of his Reddit AMAs and said he’s been plotting a Western-noir dark ensemble comedy for years. He described it as a “revisionist Western” that’s “one foot in the Western and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre.”
Eddington will mark Aster’s fourth A24 film following horrors Hereditary and Midsommar and tragicomedy Beau Is Afraid. In addition to writing and directing it, he’ll also be credited as a producer with his Square Peg partner Lars Knudsen.

]]>The post New “Inside Out 2” Trailer Sees Riley Struggling to Cope With New Emotions appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Inside Out 2 will take us back to the mind of newly-minted teenager Riley, and things are about to get messy as she reaches adolescence. Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Anger (Lewis Black), Fear (Tony Hale replacing Bill Hader), and Disgust (Liza Lapira), have been running things on their own for quite some time until new emotions came into the equation and started stirring trouble.
Maya Hawke has previously been announced as the voice of Anxiety, and she’ll be in some pretty good company. Ayo Edebiri, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Paul Walter Hauser are the latest actors added to the cast, as voices of Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment.
As for the rest of the voice cast, Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan are coming back as Riley’s parents, and they’ll be joined by Kensington Tallman as teenage Riley, Sumayyah Nuriddin-Green and Grace Lu as her best friends, and Lilimar Hernandez as popular hockey player Valentina “Val” Ortiz.
Inside Out 2 will hit the theaters on June 14, while the first film is available on Disney+.
