Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025)

Opening with a commercial for The Weeknd’s latest album (also titled Hurry Up Tomorrow), this meta-thriller has Abel Tesfaye playing a fictionalized version of himself, sort of like he did in the failed HBO series The Idol, but way less sexually charged. In this version, he’s a popular singer who’s still reeling from an intense breakup with an unnamed woman (Riley Keough, only appearing through voice work and one brief bikini pick on his phone). Like the real Abel, he’s also dealing with the aftermath of a “television thing not working out” which his manager and longtime friend, Lee (Barry Keoghan), wants him to move past and concentrate on touring America. As the sadness and stress start to affect Abel’s voice, he encounters Anima (Jenna Ortega), a young fan with a troubled past who turns out to be violently unhinged in a obsessive, Misery sort of way. There’s a scene of Jenna bouncing around in a low cut tank to The Weeknd’s real-life hit “Blinding Lights” and another where she struggles against Barry as he tries to subdue her, but all wishes for an errant nip to appear have gone unanswered. We need Jenna to hurry up and go nude already!
