A24 Teases Ari Aster’s Hereditary Follow-Up, Sommar

A24 released a teaser gif for Sommar, Ari Aster’s Hereditary follow-up. Previously known as Midsommar, the film is “is technically a horror film,” according to Aster. “It’s Scandinavian folk horror.” Anyone who’s read Norse mythology knows that Scandinavian folk can be pretty horrifying. Much disembowelment. The film will be set during the midsummer festival in a small Swedish town. “What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult,” per the press release. Aster told The Hollywood Reporter that this Sommar will most likely be his last horror film for quite a while. “I consider myself a genre filmmaker in that I want to play in every genre,” he said. “I would love to make a musical. I have ten other scripts that I’ve written that I want to make and there are other things I have. I’m writing a sci-fi film and there are at least four or five movies that I have ready to go that I am excited about making that I’d like to do in succession.”
