A movie featuring the popstar has reportedly finished filming, but no one’s told us anything about it. Help!
Barry Keoghan, as well as Tesfaye himself in a lead role. Tesfaye produced and wrote it, while Trey Edward Shults is directing. Reza Fahim is a co-writer and producer Oneohtrix Point Never will be scoring the project, which was shot in Los Angeles. This week, reports circulated on Twitter that filming had finished. While unsourced tweets should usually be taken with a few grams of salt, Tesfaye retweeted one of those messages from an account named “Weeknd Insider” .
Now, onto the fun part: speculating about everything else. What could a movie, co-written and starring Tesfaye, possibly be about? In case the name change made you forget, the Canadian rapper made his name with a series of sleazy, intimate mixtapes before sometimes-inventively, sometimes-unsuccessfully melding that sound with Swedish music-mathematician Max Martin to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
Ortega and especially Keoghan’s presence suggest, at least to this hopeful writer, that the film may have a few more tricks up its sleeve. Ortega is known for bringing a playful, sardonic edge to proceedings, while Keoghan is an unnerving, compulsively watchable screen presence. And even if he has left behind his nomenclature, Tesfaye’s last fully-fledged outing as The Weeknd, 2022’s, was an inventive, existential concept album and career highlight.
