By A24 has premiered the second trailer for “Hereditary,” “Midsommar” and “Beau Is Afraid” filmmaker Ari Aster’s new Western-noir dark political comedy film “Eddington”.
Set during the pandemic, the ensemble film centers on primarily on the rivalry between Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal).

Aster writes, directs, and produces with Lars Knudsen for Square Peg. Oscar-winning cinematographer Darius Khondji handling the visuals while Bobby Krlic will compose the film’s score.
