Originally set for release on August 9th, we’ve learned out of CinemaCon today that Hereditary director Ari Aster‘s new horror film Midsommar will now be releasing on July 3rd!
Aster has recently described the film as both a “post apocalyptic breakup movie” and a “Scandinavian folk horror film,” and it looks like A24 has a whole lot of faith in it.
Aster’s new film stars Jack Reynor, Will Poulter and Florence Pugh with Vilhem Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, Ellora Torchia and Archie Madekwe.
“Pugh and Reynor will play a couple that travels to Sweden to visit their friend’s rural hometown for its fabled mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.”
