Sony has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming film “Caught Stealing,” directed by Darren Aronofsky. The film stars Austin Butler as Hank Thompson, a former baseball player who unexpectedly finds himself navigating the perilous criminal world of 1990s New York City. The story centers around his struggle for survival in a treacherous underworld he never anticipated being part of.
Joining Butler in this compelling ensemble cast are Bad Bunny, Matt Smith, Regina King, Vincent D’Onofrio, Action Bronson, Liev Schreiber, and Griffin Dunne. Zoë Kravitz plays Butler’s love interest in this gripping tale. The screenplay, adapted from Charlie Huston’s book series, captures the high-stakes and riveting themes that Aronofsky is known for.
Darren Aronofsky, acclaimed for his previous works including “The Whale,” “Mother!,” “Black Swan,” and “Requiem for a Dream,” expressed excitement about this project, stating, “I can’t wait to start working with Austin and my family of NYC filmmakers.” Sanford Panitch, president of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group, highlighted the opportunity to adapt Huston’s “wonderful books” for such a vibrant cast as a thrilling venture.
Austin Butler has had a busy year, recently appearing in “Masters of the Air” and in Denis Villeneuve’s Oscar-winning film “Dune: Part Two.” Zoë Kravitz has also made waves by directing her feature film “Blink Twice.”
The anticipation for “Caught Stealing” builds as it is set for release in theaters on August 29.
This latest film promises to be another masterful creation from Aronofsky, known for his ability to intertwine intense narratives with strong character development. The combination of a talented cast and a gripping plot sets the stage for an exhilarating movie experience.
