When a young journalist meets a legendary pop star who disappeared 30 years ago, things are about to get seriously complicated. A24’s latest thriller “Opus” looks like it’s going to be a wild ride through the shadowy corridors of celebrity culture.
Ayo Edebiri stars as Ariel, a writer who finds herself invited to the remote compound of Alfred Moretti, played by the incomparable John Malkovich. From the trailer, it’s clear this isn’t just another music industry story – it’s a psychological descent into obsession, power, and the dangerous myths we create around fame.
The film promises a razor-sharp exploration of celebrity worship, blending horror elements with a dark satirical edge that A24 has become known for. Malkovich looks particularly chilling as Moretti, a global phenomenon who seems to have been orchestrating something far more sinister than a musical comeback.
Early buzz suggests “Opus” will challenge viewers’ expectations, mixing genres and delivering the kind of unexpected storytelling that has become A24’s trademark. With a supporting cast including Tony Hale and Amber Midthunder, the film seems poised to be a must-see for anyone who loves intelligent, boundary-pushing cinema.
Set to release on March 14th, “Opus” looks like it’s going to be more than just a movie – it’s a statement about the dark heart of fame in the modern world. Buckle up.
