André 3000 Featured in New Trailer for A24’s ‘Showing Up’

A24 looks to continue its streak of widely acclaimed, uniquely moving entries with director Kelly Reichardt’s upcoming Showing Up.

Thursday, a two-minute trailer for the Michelle Williams-starring film was released, giving the world a glimpse into what to expect from this story about a sculptor met with seemingly mundane life challenges in the run-up to the opening of her new show.

Williams, whose past work with Reichardt includes Certain Women and Meek’s Cutoff, is joined in the cast by Hong Chau, Maryann Plunkett, John Magaro, André Benjamin (a.k.a. André 3000), James Le Gros, and Judd Hirsch.

Meanwhile, Showing Up doesn’t mark the first time that André 3000 has been enlisted for an A24 project. Earlier this year, he was tapped to participate in the soundtrack proceedings behind Everything Everywhere All at Once, which now stands as A24’s biggest film ever.

Other A24-backed entries on the horizon include Jesse Eisenberg’s When You Finish Saving the World, Ari Aster’s recently retitled Beau Is Afraid, and Ti West’s MaXXXine.
