The Weeknd Tests the Depths of His Soul in Ominous ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Film Trailer: Watch

The Weeknd has shared another glimpse into his upcoming Hurry Up Tomorrow film ahead of its nationwide theater release on May 16.

The ominous thriller received a second trailer on Tuesday (April 1) as the Toronto singer/actor took viewers further into his bewildering odyssey. Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan serve as The Weeknd’s co-stars in the movie directed by Trey Edward Shults.

Abel plays a fictionalized pop star version of himself while Ortega (Anima) serves as his love interest and brings him on a psychotic journey, testing the depths of his soul.

“Have we met before,” The Weeknd asks Ortega’s Anima character while driving. Things get eerie when Ortega’s shown lighting a home on fire and tying the XO frontman up while performing some sort of satanic ritual on him.

The movie serves as the film companion to The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow album, which arrived in February and saw him retire his artistic alias.

“I tried to make the movie in a way where, for his fans and people who want to approach it at that level, I hope it’s very satisfying and you get a good meal out of it,” Shults told EW. “And for people that aren’t his fans and don’t know anything about him or even care about the final capping of the Weeknd, I think you still have a great movie to go through.”

Hurry Up Tomorrow notched The Weeknd his fifth No. 1 album atop the Billboard 200 when the set earned 490,500 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Feb. 6, per Luminate.

Just ahead of Hurry Up Tomorrow hitting theaters on May 16, The Weeknd will embark on his After Hours Til Dawn Tour on May 9 in Phoenix. The trek will invade stadiums across North America this summer with Playboi Carti and Mike Dean serving as the tour’s special guests.
