I’m very curious what would create more hype, a surprise drop with a release date week in advance for the 22nd

Or announcing it this week with the date for the 22nd.

Given the blend of autobiographical elements, themes of rebirth, psychological torment, and nods to Misery, the following could be a potential synopsis for Hurry Up Tomorrow feature film:

Synopsis: Hurry Up Tomorrow is a surreal, psychological drama about Abel, a world-famous musician struggling to confront the trauma and isolation that fame has brought him. The story unfolds over three symbolic chapters, each delving into a stage of Abel’s life, with dreamlike sequences that blend reality and nightmare. As he encounters a mysterious fan (Jenna Ortega) in a remote house, he is drawn into an intense psychological conflict that forces him to confront his fears, regrets, and fractured sense of self.

Chapter 1 - The Abyss Gazes Into You

Abel, worn down by an exhausting tour, finds himself stranded on a desolate road when he crashes into an incoming vehicle. He awakens in an eerie, isolated house where he’s “rescued” by Jenna Ortega, an ardent fan with a strange familiarity with his life and work. Jenna’s manner is caring but unsettling; she seems to know his deepest struggles and even references his public traumas, hinting at a knowledge that goes beyond the typical fan.

As Abel tries to rest, he is plagued by unsettling visions of himself as a child, haunted by cloaked figures who represent those who shaped, manipulated, and exploited him over his career. Jenna insists that he must confront his past to move forward, trapping him in a psychological maze of memories and twisted reenactments of his past glories and failures.

Chapter 2 - Unprepared Certainty

The narrative dives deeper into Abel’s mind as Jenna orchestrates strange, symbolic rituals intended to “cleanse” his soul. She speaks in riddles, echoing words from his lyrics and taunting him with fragments of his public persona. Abel’s sense of time begins to distort, making him feel trapped in a timeless, purgatorial state where seasons never change. He becomes immune to the “nausea” of his past, even as he is forced to confront wounds hidden beneath his fame—the “bulletproof bandages” he used to cover his real pain.

As Jenna’s psychological hold intensifies, Abel begins to hallucinate episodes from his career, including the infamous incident when he lost his voice on stage. In a moment of vulnerability, he admits he feels old and new at once, as if he’s caught between past and future, unable to truly see himself. Jenna forces him to face what lies beneath, the silent “screams” of his suppressed self, symbolized by the figure of “Child Abel” who appears lost and afraid. Abel realizes he has long been trapped in a “gilded cage” of his own creation—a beautiful yet confining world that protected him from his own vulnerabilities.

Chapter 3 - The Gilded Cage Burns

In this climactic chapter, Jenna pushes Abel to his breaking point, using his fame and self-image against him. She orchestrates a final, intense “ritual,” where Abel is forced to witness a hallucinatory nightmare where Child Abel is unable to escape the cloaked figures. Thankfully, with the help from an angelic figure wearing all white, representative of his mother, Child Abel is able to see the light and find her embrace.

In a final act of defiance, Abel rebels against Jenna’s manipulation, fighting to protect his younger self. The setting begins to dissolve as flames engulf the house, mirroring a scene in his São Paulo concert visual, where a burning house is shown; perhaps symbolizing his desire to break free of his self-imposed “cage.” As he stumbles out of the house, he realizes that the very traits he once believed made him invincible—his fame, his voice, his stage presence have all failed him in some way, forcing him to face a new path and a new sense of self.

As the flames close in, Abel has a final vision of himself as both old and young, as if witnessing his rebirth from the outside. He awakens in the wreckage of his car, realizing that he’s still alive. In a closing scene, he looks into a mirror, seeing himself anew, caught between past and future, and whispers, “When today ends, I’ll discover who I am.”

Themes of Rebirth, Purgatory, and the Abyss: Throughout the film, Abel’s journey of rebirth is presented as a descent into his own personal purgatory, with endless doors, cloaked figures, and familiar yet distorted memories serving as a haunting reminder of his fragmented identity. Each chapter forces Abel to confront his own duality, from his childhood self to his public persona, pushing him to face the abyss he’s ignored for so long.

In the end, the burning house and Child Abel symbolize his release from the endless “spin” of his own self-deception, paving the way for a new beginning. However, the final scene leaves it ambiguous whether Abel has truly escaped or if he’s bound to revisit this journey, forever caught in his own “gilded cage.”

This breakdown builds on some clues we have been presented with, crafting a story that mirrors Misery in psychological tension, while symbolically addressing Abel’s journey through fame, identity, and self-reinvention. It’s a purgatorial tale where he confronts both the horrors and hopes that lie beneath his public persona, giving way to a dark, semi-biographical story about finding oneself amidst the “abyss” of fame.

wow!!!

Good sign if this means the HUT date will be sooner

Bad sign if this means Lionsgate is in shambles

SÃO PAULO A HIT F*** NIGGAS

it's not even on the us spotify charts

I DONT CARE

A lot of xo Twitter discovered he’s a Trumper today some of the tweets have been hilarious

is he really? i thought it was just half memes and that he is just a delusional elon fan

The US just doesn’t know good music

Certified trumper bro. Think a few of the crew are. That Henny dude posts Trump from time to time lol illangelo posts some scary right wing stuff too

I remember Abel and belly cancelled one of their TV performances because trump was appearing the same night. That was back in like 2016 I believe

I have to admit tho and you guys know I’m not a hater. But I’m very surprised all 3 singles flopped so far. Did not expected that for this final area

Sao Paolo is doing extremely well globally, just not huge in the states right now

And Timeless has done pretty decent in the US, I’m not sure why people are saying that one flopped

cmon man

? What

I didn’t say anything crazy, Sao Paolo is doing pretty well right now on Spotify Global, and Timeless has been relatively stable in the US

he better show up, give a eulogy and then in the future perform at a tribute concert

I wonder if Dancing in the Flames will be a bonus track. Not sure it fits the vibe of the rest of the album.
