Ari Aster Teases His Follow Up To ‘Midsommar’, A “Nightmare Comedy”

In 2019 Ari Aster unleashed his disturbing, hit film Midsommar (review). Now, he’s teasing his next project. During a Reddit Ask-Me-Anything session, the Hereditary director stated that his next film will either be a “zonky nightmare comedy” or a “big, sickly domestic melodrama” saying either project would fit in with both Midsommar and Hereditary. Aster also described the second film as an “anxiety comedy” and “an absurdist, evil comedy.” Recently, while speaking to a group of UC Santa Barbara’s students, Aster teased that he’s completed a new draft of the “nightmare comedy.” Aster also said that the film will be even longer than Midsommar‘s extended cut which is 147 minutes long and more disturbing than the film’s theatrical release, saying “All I know is that it’s gonna be four hours long,” Aster stated. It can be noted that both of its predecessors were over two hours long. As soon as we know more we’ll give you an update.

A group of attractive people manage to mow down a kid while doing the ol’ DWI bag and then find themselves stalked and slayed by a maniac wearing a burlap sack over his head. It’s like Jason Voorhees knows what you did last summer with The Wake. To elaborate, after our “heroes” murder said child, they are invited to his wake by his mother, and for some outrageous reason they actually go, only to be drugged and bound within a house lit only by blue lighting (seriously…every. damn. scene. Blue, blue, blue…). The group then slowly (and I mean slowly…more on that in a bit) meander around the house and occasionally have a go-around with the dude in the sack mentioned previous. Let’s start with a few nice things to say about The Wake. Let’s see…there were a few unexpected elements that added a bit of freshness to this somewhat pedestrian affair; namely, the dude driving the car actually admits
