The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega, Barry Keoghan & Trey Edward Shults Talk Hurry Up Tomorrow and Music

Video Description

On May 16, Grammy-winning, Academy Award-nominated artist Abel Tesfaye, professionally known as The Weeknd, is taking fans and audiences backstage for a visual, sonic trip in his psychological thriller, Hurry Up Tomorrow. It's an odyssey of self-discovery that Tesfaye tells Collider's Steve Weintraub is "experimental" and "subjective," allowing the viewers to experience a story that refuses to spell everything out until the very end. In the movie, Tesfaye plays a fictional version of himself — a chart-topping pop icon reeling from the effects of insomnia — in an alternate universe, where he meets a stranger (Jenna Ortega), who starts unraveling him at his core. The film is co-written by Tesfaye, director Trey Edward Shults (It Comes at Night), and Reza Fahim (The Idol), and co-stars Wednesday's Ortega and Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin). Check out the video above or the full transcript below for our sit-down with Tesfaye, Ortega, Keoghan, and Shults, where they discuss the behind-the-scenes of Hurry Up Tomorrow. Multi-award-winning Tesfaye talks about penning the tracks throughout production that would go on to inspire his most recent studio album, Ortega and Keoghan discuss their scenework together, and Shults explains his approach to the movie's ambiguity, saying, "everything's not tied up in a beautiful bow." They also share their favorite movie theaters and Stanley Kubrick movies. #TheWeeknd #JennaOrtega #barrykeoghan #HurryUpTomorrow For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL https://twitter.com/collider https://instagram.com/collider https://facebook.com/collider
