Hurry Up Tomorrow

The Weeknd’s Music-Based Film With Jenna Ortega & Barry Keoghan Gets Release Date

by

The Weeknd will release his upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow on January 24, 2025, but that’s not the end of his rollout for this blockbuster finale of the moniker’s career. Moreover, Lionsgate is also putting out a film of the same name, which will star the Toronto superstar alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. It will reportedly release on May 16, 2025, Trey Edward Shults of Krishna and It Comes At Night will direct, and will apparently be a “musically driven psychological thriller.” In fact, some rumors predict that it will be a soft reboot of Misery with Abel Tesfaye playing a famous singer and Ortega playing an obsessive stalker.

All of this is good news for fans of The Weeknd who want to celebrate the end of this After Hours trilogy with a bang, as it seems like they will have a lot to indulge in. It’s been a big year for him even outside of the lack of an album drop, especially given his involvement in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. But that was more of a casual and arms-length effort, showing love to GNX and seemingly shading Drizzy all throughout.

Now, though, all sights are set on Hurry Up Tomorrow, both the album and this film. “I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move,” The Weeknd expressed in a teaser clip for the upcoming record. “I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right? The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates. A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am. Hurry Up Tomorrow.”

In addition to all this hype, The Weeknd will also celebrate the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow with a one-night-only show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. From the details we know from a press release, it’s shaping up to be one of his biggest and most impressive performances ever, which is saying a lot. Let’s see if the album – and film – lives up to expectations…

Yesterday, The Weeknd teased that he has a “new movie” coming out in 2025. We now know exactly when.

Directed by Trey Edward Shults (Krisha, It Comes at Night), Lionsgate’s Hurry Up Tomorrow is scheduled to hit theaters on May 16, 2025, the same weekend as a new Final Destination movie and a week before Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and the live-action Lilo & Stitch.

The film stars The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, and has been described as a “musically driven psychological thriller.” (There’s also been rumors that it’s a “loose remake” of 1990’s Misery with The Weeknd as a famous singer and Ortega as a “deranged fan/stalker.)

Hurry Up Tomorrow shares a title with The Weeknd’s upcoming album, out January 24, 2025. In a teaser video for the album, he said, “I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move. I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right? The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates. A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am. Hurry Up Tomorrow.”

The Weeknd To Perform Following Hurry Up Tomorrow Release

The album will be accompanied by a film of the same name, starring The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan. It will follow the first two installments of his latest trilogy, 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM. It will also follow various singles including “Dancing In The Flames,” “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti, and “São Paulo” featuring Anitta.

Hurry Up Tomorrow could also reportedly be the last album The Weeknd releases under his stage name. During an interview with W Magazine last year, he teased the idea of ditching the moniker in favor of his real name. “It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter. I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn,” he explained at the time. “The album I’m working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd. This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say.”

Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) has announced it will distribute Hurry Up Tomorrow, a suspense thriller and the first feature film by Grammy-winning, Oscar- and Emmy-nominated artist The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye.

The Weeknd’s ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Film With Jenna Ortega And Barry Keoghan Gets Worldwide Distribution From Lionsgate

The Weeknd’s album Hurry Up Tomorrow is coming to theaters as a thriller film. According to Deadline, the film version will be Abel’s feature-starring debut (he previously appeared as himself in the Safdie brothers’ 2019 crime thriller Uncut Gems) and will also star thriller vets Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The director, Trey Edward Shults, is best known for his 2017 horror film It Comes at Night and the 2019 drama Waves. The film will be distributed by Lionsgate, which has signed on as the worldwide theatrical distributor.

So far, there are few details about the film’s story, but judging from the videos already released from the album, including “Dancing In The Flames,” “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti, and “São Paulo” with Brazilian star Anitta, you can bet it’ll have an eye-popping, mind-bending psychological edge.

Abel flashed leading-man potential in his debut starring role in the HBO series The Idol, but hopefully, Hurry Up Tomorrow will manage to avoid repeating the mistakes of that troubled production, which led to lukewarm critical reception and an early cancelation. At the very least, we know it’ll have a great soundtrack, with Abel putting the promotion for the apparent soundtrack in the lead this time around. While neither the album nor the film have announced release dates yet, the sheer amount of music that has already been suggests that neither can be very far off.
