Ayo Edebiri takes on a pop icon and his cult followers in twisted new thriller
Briefly

Ayo Edebiri stars in the new thriller "Opus" alongside John Malkovich and Juliette Lewis, where she plays Ariel Ecton, a young writer invited to a secluded compound by Malkovich's character, pop icon Alfred Moretti. The invitation, framed as an exclusive "listening experience," soon reveals a more sinister purpose amid Moretti's devoted followers. Filmmakers including director Mark Anthony Green, who views Sundance as a dream platform for their premiere, express their enthusiasm for the project's depth and relevance, aiming to engage audiences deeper than typical thrillers.
"Mark Anthony Green is such a talented writer. The moment I read the script, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is so smart. It's so relevant!'"
"Juliette Lewis, who plays Clara Armstrong, described the film as 'thought-provoking, but it's meant to be fun.'"
"I had such high expectations for what this experience would be like. So far, they've been exceeded."
