Exciting news is buzzing in the film industry! As reported by Deadline, the highly anticipated drama Paper Tiger has added Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller to its star-studded cast, joining Adam Driver, who was previously announced. This latest development comes after Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong had to step away from their roles due to scheduling conflicts. Fans are already buzzing about what this powerful trio might bring to the film!
Paper Tiger promises to deliver a gripping storyline that plunges into the lives of two brothers chasing the elusive American Dream. However, their aspirations take a dark turn as they stumble into a dangerous web of corruption and violence perpetuated by the enigmatic Russian ‘Mafiya.’ As their brotherly bond faces unthinkable strains and unexpected betrayals begin to loom, viewers are sure to be on the edge of their seats.
Helmed by the talented James Gray, who also wrote the film, production is slated to kick off next month in New Jersey, setting the stage for what could be a spellbinding cinematic experience.
Scarlett Johansson has an exciting lineup herself, including her debut as a feature director with Eleanor the Great. This heartwarming film features June Squibb as a 90-year-old Floridian who forges an unexpected friendship with a young student from New York City. The film is set to make its premiere at the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival. Additionally, audiences can catch Johansson in Wes Anderson’s ensemble piece, The Phoenician Scheme, which hits Cannes on May 18th and will reach theaters on May 30th.
But wait, there’s more! Johansson is also gearing up for her significant role in Jurassic World Rebirth, portraying Zora Bennett, an expert in covert operations. Zora is assigned to lead a daring mission to secure genetic material from the planet’s three largest dinosaurs. As her mission collides with that of a civilian family besieged by monstrous aquatic creatures, they find themselves marooned on an island harboring shocking secrets long buried. Fans won’t want to miss this thrilling ride, set to land in theaters on July 2nd.
Meanwhile, Miles Teller, fresh off his performance alongside Anya Taylor-Joy in The Gorge, is set to light up the screen again with a role opposite Elizabeth Olsen in Eternity, a romantic comedy from A24. In this intriguing project, characters must confront the decision of who they want to share eternity with in the afterlife—sounds fascinating! While a release date has yet to be announced, it’s expected later this year, and we can’t wait to see what Teller brings to this unique storyline.
