Barry Keoghan is set to star in a new psychological thriller alongside Jenna Ortega, titled HURRY UP TOMORROW.

The film, which shares its name with The Weeknd’s upcoming album, will hit North American theaters on May 16, 2025, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The project brings together several notable collaborators. Trey Edward Shults, known for A24 films like, WAVES and IT COMES AT NIGHT, will direct the musically-driven thriller. Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), a frequent creative partner of The Weeknd, will contribute to the film’s soundtrack alongside The Weeknd’s own music. The film is being produced by Lionsgate in partnership with The Weeknd’s production company, Manic Phase.

For an actor most people didn’t know existed two years ago — and now that they do, are still trying to figure out how to pronounce his name — Barry Keoghan has become an incredibly seen young performer. After an Oscar nomination for 2022’s THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN; the hurricane of memes, snark, and discourse around last year’s SALTBURN; and a publicity-friendly relationship with pop girlie du jour Sabrina Carpenter, Keoghan went from “Oh, that kid in DUNKIRK?” to one of 2024’s rodent boyfriends.

This come-up is funny if you’re one of the few people who have been following Keoghan’s career since he played the creepy kid who probably poisons Colin Farrell’s family in Yorgos Lanthimos’s 2017 movie THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER. Keoghan won fans among the cinephile set for the aloof intensity he demonstrates there, which could be dialed up for a movie like THE GREEN KNIGHT or down to suit the snappy superhero needs of ETERNALS.
