After starring in the idol, the weeknd will be seen once again in the upcoming psychological thriller “Hurry Up Tomorrow.” The renowned pop star is one of the most profitable bets when it comes to music; however, the last project reception was respectfully mediocre. Then how credible can this movie be for Lionsgate, which just got the rights to its distribution?
Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the movie will include alongside the Weeknd, AKA Abel Tesfaye, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan. Both of them are considered darlings to the Hollywood audience in recent times.
Something peculiar about the movie is that it will build upon the upcoming album by the weekend. Going by the same title, it is indeed a massive power move to make a movie for an album. And while the release date for the album is yet to be clarified, the songs and features are going to be part of the movie’s own score. But then, what if you are not a fan of Weeknd?
Weeknd’s performance in the last show was quite mediocre. And while somewhere it could be that the story itself was a bit corny as Lily Rose Depp did make a much better comeback after her performance was considered weak as well. Still, the first outing of the week has indeed left a mark on the audience.
The movie is set to have a worldwide release facilitated by Lionsgate. Dubbed as the “culmination of the studio albums ‘trilogy,” the movie might just work well, given the tremendous popularity of Tesfaye’s music and the faces like Ortega and Keoghan; however, the audience is going to be a little apprehensive about Weeknd’s performance.
