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 is setting the table for a massive 2025. His upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, is set for release on January 24. His movie based on the album, starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, is also gearing up for a 2025 release. It turns out he has even more than that in store.

On social media today (December 18), The Weeknd wrote, “New album, new tour, new movie, new everything.”

This mirrors what The Weeknd said at his Billions Club Live concert yesterday (per Billboard): “It’s a little holiday gift for the OG XO fans supporting me since day one. 2024 is almost done. But 2025, we got some new sh*t coming out. New album, new tour, new movie. New everything!”

The Weeknd performed a couple of special one-night only concerts in 2024, but this is the first official mention of plans for a tour in 2025.

Meanwhile, in a teaser video, The Weeknd previously said of his upcoming album, “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 Unveils A Thumping New Single, ‘Open Hearts,’ Via Apple Vision Pro

by

It was revealed a few days ago that The Weeknd would deliver an “Apple Immersive” experience called “Open Hearts” via the Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset platform on November 15. Well, that’s today, so the new song is here.

Currently, the song and video are only officially available via Apple Vision Pro (whether its your own device or one at an Apple store), but fan-made recordings have surfaced online.

The Weeknd sings on the chorus, “Where do I start / When I open my heart? / It’s never easy falling in love again / Cover my scars / When I open my arms / It’s never easy falling in love again / Falling in, falling in love / It’s nеver easy falling in love again / Falling in, falling in love / Falling in love again.”

Apple previously called Apple Immersive Video “a remarkable storytelling format that leverages 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio to transport viewers to the center of the action.” Tor Myhren, Apple’s vice president of Marketing Communications, also noted, “Apple Immersive Video is a groundbreaking leap forward for storytelling, offering Apple Vision Pro users remarkable experiences with an unparalleled sense of realism and immersion. […] Apple Immersive Video revolutionizes the way people experience places, stories, sports, and more by making viewers feel like they’re truly there. It’s the next generation of visual storytelling, and we’re excited to bring it to more people around the world.”
