Renowned filmmaker Ari Aster, celebrated for his chilling masterpieces Hereditary and Midsommar, is gearing up for his next cinematic venture. Reports suggest that Aster is currently exploring locations in New Mexico for an upcoming horror project under the A24 banner.
The director, known for his meticulous attention to detail and atmospheric storytelling, has been spotted in the southwestern state, fueling speculation about the film's setting and themes. While details remain under wraps, insiders hint at a narrative that may intertwine local folklore with Aster's signature psychological horror.
Why New Mexico?
New Mexico's stark desert landscapes and rich cultural history provide a compelling backdrop for horror. The state has previously hosted iconic productions like Breaking Bad and No Country for Old Men, proving its versatility as a filming location.
Aster's choice of New Mexico aligns with his penchant for immersive, location-driven storytelling. Fans are already theorising whether the film will draw inspiration from regional legends or explore entirely new territory in the horror genre.
A24's Continued Partnership
This marks another collaboration between Aster and A24, the independent studio behind his previous critically acclaimed works. The partnership has yielded some of the most talked-about horror films of recent years, setting high expectations for this new project.
While no official release date has been announced, the film is expected to enter production later this year, with potential filming around Phoenix adding to the project's mystique.
