The Weeknd film with Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan will soon be released in Ukraine

The Weeknd’s new experimental film, “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” reveals his inner world and his search for himself. The film will be released in Ukraine on May 29.

The film “Hurry Up Tomorrow” is a sequel to The Weeknd’s album of the same name. Director Trey Edward Schultz, noted for his work on “Waves” and “It Comes at Night”, took on this picture. The film is described as a “suspense thriller” that experimentally explores the essence of an artist who changes and faces the unknown.

The Weeknd plays the role of himself – a musician who struggles with insomnia and embarks on a journey with a stranger (Jenna Ortega), trying to understand his existence. The actor noted that the character is a reflection of his own experiences:

“This is a fictional version of me in an alternate reality where something went wrong, and dark times have come. Viewers will be able to witness a pivotal moment in his life and his amazing journey,” The Weeknd commented.

Roles of Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan

Jenna Ortega shows herself in an unusual way to the audience. The director promises that this will be “a performance they haven’t seen before” from her and that she will “appear in a new light.”

The details of Barry Keoghan’s character are still being revealed, but his role will be significant for the development of the plot.

The incident that inspired the film

The film was inspired by an incident at The Weeknd’s 2022 concert in Los Angeles, where he lost his voice during a performance and was forced to stop the show. This led to criticism and forced the artist to rethink his emotional state.

“The doctors didn’t find any physical problems, so I realized that the reason was mental,” the artist said.
