Harmony Korine, Travis Scott A24 Film

Harmony Korine Has Secretly Directed a New A24 Feature Written by and Starring Travis Scott



It was August 2021 when Travis Scott and A24 each shared the coffee and blood stained script for an unnamed project commencing his production deal with the studio. Details were scant, notwithstanding Variety‘s note that the film would “align with Scott’s upcoming album” Utopia. (The rapper’s fans quickly sleuthed said script’s either called as much or Dystopia.) It was ten months later that Scott posted two Instagram stories with four things that go well together: body armor, guns, masks, and Harmony Korine.

All of which is to say signs were before us that something was cooking, and today we’ve learned Korine directed Scott in an action-oriented feature film “shot entirely in infrared” which recently test-screened at Metrograph. All compelling stuff, doubly so that––per our source––Scott has left the film in serious limbo by refusing to sign off on its release.

Metrograph have, however, advertised for members this coming Sunday’s “only ever screening of a very special filmmaker’s secret new project,” leaving one to wonder if Korine’s film (if that’s the “secret new project”) might circulate in unofficial means à la Todd Haynes’ Superstar.
