That’s a wrap on Ari Aster’s “Eddington.” Production has been completed on the film which started shooting in late March. Expect an early 2025 release for this one.

Apparently, “Eddington” might be a zombie movie. The exact nature of the zombies are vague. It is set during COVID, and the virus mutates. A special effects crew has been seen on-set, with 80% of the shoot occuring at night.

We already know the film is about a Sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix), his wife (Emma Stone), the local mayor (Pedro Pascal) and a bunch of Q-Anon locals. It’s a wild idea to have Aster mix in COVID and politics with a zombie outbreak. “Eddington” has been described as an “ensemble film.” The COVID aspect of the plot is interesting given that Aster had written the film in 2019 and only inserted the pandemic in one of the final drafts of the script.
