Ayo Edebiri may be best known for her work in comedies like The Bear and Bottoms, but she’s teaming up with A24 for what looks to be a creepy cult movie.
Check out the trailer for Opus:
The simple tagline reads: An iconic pop star returns after decades missing.
Besides Edebiri, the movie also stars Julietter Lewis, Murray Bartlett, Amber Midthunder, Stephanie Suganami, Tony Hale, and Young Mazino.
We’ve gotten a lot of modern cult films in recent years with films like Hereditary and Kinds of Kindness, but it looks like this one is going to have its own weird twist with the Get Out nature of the trailer. It’s unclear just how weird everything is expected to get, but Malkovich can get pretty freaky depending on the project.
It’s even neat to see a puppet in the film because it could be a reference to Being John Malkovich, another weird movie about a puppeteer taking over the body of actual John Malkovich.
As far as it looks, this is the directorial debut of Mark Anthony Green whose only credit before this project was a short film. Even if that is the case, the trailer does look very impressive, and the fact that it’s managed to gather quite an impressive cast could mean that a lot of movie buffs may want to see just what Opus is going to be all about.
Catch Opus when it releases in theatres on March 14.
