"You were inflicting pain upon yourself and those surrounding you. A transformation is imperative." Indeed, the captivating second trailer for Lionsgate's Hurdle-Leaping Journey Through Space, Time, and Melody, titled Hurry Up Tomorrow, has been unveiled. This latest brainchild of director Trey Edward Shults (Krisha, It Comes at Night, Waves) promises an enchanting cinematic experience, poised to grace theaters this May. In collaboration with the megastar musician, now embracing his real moniker, Abel Tesfaye (a.k.a. The Weeknd), this film delves into the realm of surrealism.
Tesfaye portrays an unnamed musician, a semblance of his true self, grappling with insomnia and bizarre visions. His path crosses with an enigmatic stranger, embarking on a voyage that dismantles every facet of his self-perception. The trailer mirrors the abstract and peculiar essence of its predecessor. Jenna Ortega stars as Anima, Barry Keoghan as Lee, and Paul L. Davis as Lavi, collectively weaving a narrative that starts to "decipher the innermost sanctum of his existence." Time travel or some otherworldly technique? The footage, teeming with intrigue, commands attention – a must-see for all cinema enthusiasts. Your thoughts on this enigmatic endeavor?
