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.�
