Ari Aster‘s Eddington

[samsnee]

“There was a period of time when I thought “Midsommar “” would be the debut feature, and there was a period when I thought another script called “Eddington” might be the first movie. For like five years, I was trying to get that Western-noir dark ensemble comedy going. That won’t be the next one, by the way, though I do still want to make it very badly. I made Hereditary first, but I always had “Midsommar” in my back pocket, like it was right there in me.”

“Although it’s sort of a – I don’t know if you’d call it a revisionist western. It’s contemporary; one foot is in the western and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre. So it’s like a film noir ensemble western dark comedy.””

Aster went on to say that it was set in a fictional copper mining town in New Mexico and that he hoped to make the film there.

What have I missed?

Just a few supposed critics calling Beau is Afraid a career-killer.

Ari Aster wrote a script for a contemporary Western film that he had at one point considered making as his directorial debut. He tried to make it for about five years before deciding to make Hereditary and Midsommar first.
