Elsewhere, The Weeknd has been revealed as a co-writer for an upcoming film from director Trey Edward Shults. Little is known about the project, but The Weeknd will also reportedly star alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The untitled film is Shults' first since 2019's Waves. The film was an indie darling, scoring well with critics and audiences but failing to recoup its $6 million budget. Shults has two other feature films - 2015's Krisha and 2017's It Comes At Night.




However, Shults' 2024 outing is shaping up to be his biggest yet. Ortega is one of the hottest stars in Hollywood following her massive 2023 with Wednesday and Scream VI. Meanwhile, Keoghan comes off the critically acclaimed Saltburn. As for The Weeknd, he will likely be hoping for a better-received screen outing after the critical disaster of HBO's The Idol. A lot of criticism was leveled at the project from Euphoria's Sam Levinson. However, The Weeknd's portrayal of primary antagonist Tedros was notably slammed by critics.
