Both articles basically say the same thing, but I wanted to include a photo of Florence Pugh.
  • Ari Aster's (Hereditary) next film has now cast Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, Vilhelm Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, Ellora Torchia and Archie Madekwe.
  • Synopsis from the source: Pugh and Reynor are playing a couple who travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for a famous mid-summer festival. It starts as an idyllic retreat, but devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition spurred by a pagan cult.
  • The film is currently in production in Budapest.
  • Aster also wrote the script.
  • A24 is financing and distributing.
  • Folk horror is my jam so I'm into this.
