With his first two feature films, Hereditary (2018) and Midsommar (2019), Ari Aster became one of the most popular and praised new names in the horror scene. There is no doubt that big expectations are set in his upcoming film, entitled Disappointment Blvd., and now we have more information about it.

Disappointment Blvd. is a decades-spanning portrait of one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time.

Joaquin Phoenix, known for his fan-favorite performance in Joker (2019), and Parker Posey, that has appeared in films like Scream 3 (2000), Blade: Trinity (2004), Superman Returns (2006), and The Eye (2008), lead the main cast that also includes Michael Gandolfini, Amy Ryan, Zoe Lister-Jones, Nathan Lane, Kylie Rogers, Patti LuPone, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Hayley Squires, and Denis Ménochet.

As happened with his previous 2 films, A24 is producing and financing the film with Ari Aster writing the screenplay and directing. Aster and Lars Knudsen are producing for Square Peg.
