Lionsgate is gearing up to release “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” a highly anticipated psychological thriller based on music, in theaters worldwide. Starring Abel Tesfaye, widely recognized as The Weeknd, alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, the film is directed by Trey Edward Shults, acclaimed for his previous film ‘Waves’.

“Hurry Up Tomorrow” is produced by Tesfaye’s label Manic Phase in partnership with Reza Fahim, the late Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss, featuring a solid creative team. The executive production team includes Jenna Ortega, Trey Edward Shults, Michael Rapino, Ryan Kroft, Wassim “Sal” Slaiby and Harrison Huffman.

According to Deadline, the film expands on The Weeknd’s upcoming album, also titled “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” with a yet-to-be-announced release date. The album’s themes blend perfectly with the film’s soundtrack, composed by The Weeknd and Daniel Lopatin.

Cinematography is handled by Chayse Irvin, while Erin Benach and Hannah Jacobs bring their costume design expertise. Its production design is led by Elliott Hostetter, adding visual depth to the film’s unique aesthetic.

“Abel is an artist whose creativity transcends any medium,” said Adam Fogelson, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “With ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’, his collaboration with Trey Edward Shults introduces a new dimension to his musical world, turning it into a cinematic psychological thriller.”

“This film promises a fresh and immersive experience for audiences everywhere, and we’re excited to bring it to the global stage.”

“Hurry Up Tomorrow” marks the grand finale of The Weeknd’s trilogy of studio albums, following the success of “After Hours” (2020) and “Dawn FM” (2022).

This latest installment completes the trilogy, delving into existential themes and introspective storytelling that reflects The Weeknd’s artistic journey.

Having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, The Weeknd recently ventured into television as the co-creator and star of the 2023 series “The Idol,” where he shared the screen with Lily-Rose Depp.
