Opus has been directed by Mark Anthony Green in his big-screen movie debut, having previously impressed with his helming of short film Trapeze, U.S.A back in 2017.
It’s been written and co-produced by Mark also, along with Collin Creighton, Brad Weston, Poppy Hanks, Jelani Johnson and Josh Bachove and is being distributed by A24.
The film features a stellar soundtrack with original music being written by legends Nile Rodgers and The-Dream.
Opus premiered in the Midnight section at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2025 and is now gearing up to be watched by the masses.
It currently has a 5.0 rating on IMDb from 399 votes as well as a 37% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The official trailer released last month and has been causing waves online, with many fans flocking to the comments section on YouTube to share their reactions.
One person expressed: ““There’s no cult, like celebrity” is such a cool concept to explore in a film, because indeed, the things fans do for celebrities is just straight up weird sometimes. I dont actually know if this film is going that direction, but it would be cool!”
Another viewer commented: “Edebiri is the young actress I’m most excited about right now – just beautiful, positive energy – as soon as I saw her face I clicked – idk about this movie but I’ll go see her finally in a lead role.”
Somebody else enthused: “I love how I’ve just viewed this trailer and I’m still confused with questions, making me want to see this in theaters! Actual trailers are a dying breed!”
Yet another gushed: “A24 if you’re reading this. Keep doing what you are doing. These movies are becoming more interesting and better every time they come out!!!! Love this idea!!”
While a fifth added: “I’m not always a fan of A24 movies, but I will give them absolute credit for always trying to make original content that isn’t recycled sequels or franchises.
“They always attempt to make something interesting, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Really depends on the director and writers mainly though, not so much the studio. This looks very interesting and I’ll definitely check it out though.”
