In addition to Utopia, Scott will also be releasing a film titled Circus Maximus. He worked on the project with Gaspar Noe, Nicolas Winding-Refn, Harmony Korine, Valdimar Jóhannsson, and Kahlil Joseph. A poster for the movie credits A24 for producing it, although the company claims to not be affiliated. Beginning on Thursday, screenings will take place at AMC theaters across the United States.

The theater chain describes Circus Maximus on its website with the description: “Prepare to enter Circus Maximus as Travis Scott takes his audience on a mind-bending visual odyssey across the globe, woven together by the speaker rattling sounds of his highly anticipated upcoming album Utopia. The film is a surreal and psychedelic journey, uniting a collective of visionary filmmakers from around the world in a kaleidoscopic exploration of human experience and the power of soundscapes.”
