The Weeknd Drops "Drive" Music Video Starring Jenna Ortega
Directed by Trey Edward Shults.
After dropping the second trailer for his forthcoming film, Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd has returned with an all-new music video for his track “Drive,” off his sixth studio album named after the movie.
Directed by Trey Edward Shults (who also directed the namesake movie), the music video stars Jenna Ortega (who also has a lead role in the film). In the visual, the actress rides a Ferris wheel in a neon-lit carnival with The Weeknd, before she embarks on a long scenic drive through the day and night. A sharp cut leads to the final sequence in the video: an eerie shot of The Weeknd sleeping in a bathtub.
Hurry Up Tomorrow (the album) came out in January and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Hurry Up Tomorrow (the movie) is set to premiere in theaters on May 16.
The film, which also stars Barry Keoghan, follows a musician plagued by insomnia (Tesfaye), who is “pulled into an odyssey” by a stranger (Ortega) that unravels the “core of his existence,” per the official description. The project was produced by The Weeknd’s Manic Phase and Reza Fahimalong with the late Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss. Executive producers include Ortega, Shults, Michael Rapino, Ryan Kroft, Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, and Harrison Huffman.
