A24 brings fresh horror back to the big screen here in early 2025 with Opus starring Ayo Edebiri (The Bear) and John Malkovich (Billions), and USA Today shares a first look image today as part of their 2025 Movie Preview. Check it out above and read on for more.
A24 will release Opus in theaters on March 14, 2025. From writer-director Mark Anthony Green, the upcoming film will be A24’s first new horror movie to release here in 2025.
The film has been described as “flashy pop horror” as well a “tense, psychosocial game of cat and mouse.”
In A24′s Opus, “A young writer is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star who mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago. Surrounded by the star’s cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.”
Edebiri will play the “meek yet hungry journalist Ariel — her unique charm radiating alongside a distinct final-girl prescience. John Malkovich is effervescent and hypnotic as Moretti, a deified global phenomenon making a dramatically malevolent reintroduction.” What’s even more intriguing is that Sundance had described the film as having musical numbers.
Amber Midthunder (Prey) and Juliette Lewis (“Yellowjackets”) also star, along with Murray Bartlett (“The White Lotus”), Stephanie Suganami (Power Book II: Ghost), Young Mazino (Beef), and Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon).
