First Look at Five Time Grammy Award Winner The Weeknd’s Movie ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’

by

From the start of his swift climb to stardom within the music scene, Abel Tesfaye has been recognized by his stage name The Weeknd. Last year, Tesfaye declared the conclusion of his persona as The Weeknd with a final album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, which marked the end of his second trilogy and was released to the public on January 31st.

Besides music, Tesfaye also intends to use a movie to fully express that aspect of his character and its significance over the past ten years. Reports indicate that a film titled after his seventh studio album has been in development since mid-2024, and fans are now getting their first official glimpse before the movie’s release on May 16th.

Hurry Up Tomorrow, A Window Into The Weeknd’s Mind

In Hurry Up Tomorrow, not much is revealed about its main storyline yet. The central idea revolves around a troubled singer grappling with insomnia, who seems to be slipping deeper into a strange new world as his mental state declines. It’s highly probable that Tesfaye will portray this mysterious singer as the protagonist, while some spectators suggest that the character might represent The Weeknd’s persona.

Initially, the scene features Jenna Ortega, set to star in ‘Death of a Unicorn’ by A24 in 2025, along with Barry Keoghan. Their roles appear to provide backing for Tesfaye’s character during his voyage.

The first glimpse showcases both Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, who are due to star in ‘Death of a Unicorn’ by A24 in 2025. In these scenes, they seem to be offering support for Tesfaye’s character on his journey.

Or even simpler:

In the first scene, Jenna Ortega (who will be in ‘Death of a Unicorn’ by A24 in 2025) and Barry Keoghan appear together, providing support to Tesfaye’s character during his journey.

As a gamer, I’d say: “Not only does ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ boast an impressive ensemble led by Ortega and Keoghan, but it was masterfully crafted by the brilliant mind behind ‘Waves’, Trey Edward Shults. His involvement guarantees a solid foundation, both on-screen and off.

Tesfaye isn’t new to visual content, having created it himself and co-starring with Euphoria creator Sam Levinson on the MAX show The Idol. However, The Idol, which ran for just one season before being canceled, wasn’t successful. But there’s optimism that this project involving Tesfaye will be better received due to the influential individuals involved and its strong ties to Tesfaye’s personal life.

First Trailer and Release Date for Hurry Up Tomorrow

Fans won’t have to wait much longer for further information about The Weeknd’s first movie as a director, Abel Tesfaye-led. He has been hinting at the trailer release on his and the movie’s social media accounts (X), stating it will be shared with everyone tomorrow. In post-production now, the film is progressing toward its scheduled release date of May 16th. The anticipation builds as we wonder how much music from the self-titled album will be incorporated into the film. For the time being, fans can enjoy the album “Hurry Up Tomorrow” until May arrives.
