Ari Aster Shares His Original Concept Drawing of the ‘Midsommar’ May Queen

In the final moments of Midsommar, the sophomore effort from Hereditary‘s Ari Aster, Dani (played by Florence Pugh), the newly-anointed “May Queen”, watches as her unfortunate past goes up in flames. As her fairytale comes to an end, her frown turns upside down just as the credits hit.

Aster has just shared the original (and previously unseen) concept drawing for Midsommar‘s iconic final moment, which he penciled after completing his first draft.

While the costume designer filled in a lot of empty space, the drawing perfectly mirrors what Aster was able to capture on film, and through Pugh’s outstanding performance. These are the moments where you truly understand that Aster had a full vision in his head before he ever stepped foot on stage.

Preparation is key to great filmmaking. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Aster.

One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).

Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”

In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”

Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.

Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”

“She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
