Jenna Ortega's Performance In Hurry Up Tomorrow Is Praised Close The Weeknd celebrates Ortega's performance in Hurry Up Tomorrow. With the same name as the Weeknd's sixth album, Hurry Up Tomorrow is a psychological thriller directed by It Comes at Night's Trey Edward Shults and is based on the album. The Weeknd and Shults co-wrote the project alongside Reza Fahim, who worked with the Weeknd on HBO's controversial The Idol series.

Jenna brought so much depth to the character. There was a scene where Trey and I looked at each other like,"On paper, this is just ridiculous — how is it going to translate on screen?" And she said,"I have an idea." She led that whole scene — none of it was rehearsed, and a lot of my reactions in it are not acting.
