Ari Aster's 'Midsommar' Gets New Release Date
The upcoming horror film "Midsommar" is coming to theaters sooner than originally scheduled.
A24 has moved the Ari Aster-directed movie's release date to July 3, pushing it up more than a month from its Aug. 9 date, Deadline reports. That means some early summer scares for horror fans. The film is Aster's follow-up to the chilling "Hereditary."
While the footage released so far looks bright and flowery at first, the plot is absolutely not. The story follows a woman named Dani (Florence Pugh) as she travels to a small Swedish village with her boyfriend, Christian (Jack Reynor), for a nine-day festival that only takes place every 90 years. As she spends time there, she realizes there is very something dark and dangerous going on.
Aster wrote the script in addition to directing. The film's cast also includes William Jackson Harper, Will Poulter, Archie Madekwe, and Ellora Torchia.
"Midsommar" opens July 3, so update your calendar accordingly.
