Adam Driver and Miles Teller Get Tangled Up With Russian Mob in ‘Paper Tiger’ Trailer

Adam Driver, Miles Teller and Scarlett Johansson star in the latest film from acclaimed director James Gray, "Paper Tiger." The movie, which also features in the New York Film Festival later this fall, has unveiled its first trailer, generating intrigue among audiences. Driver and Teller portray brothers caught in the clutches of the Russian mafia during the 1980s in New York City, while Johansson plays Teller's wife. Scarlett Johansson's role was initially intended for Anne Hathaway.

The film made a striking debut at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was in the running for the prestigious Palme d'Or. Following its premiere, the movie received a 10-minute standing ovation from the audience. Critical reception was equally glowing, with one reviewer describing it as "a taut exercise in suspense, with a couple of bravura sequences that stretch the tension to the breaking point."

The film also explores the complex dynamics within the family, as characters engage in heated arguments but always manage to part ways with the phrase, "I love you."

The director, Gray, has been consistent in delivering intriguing projects, ranging from intimate dramas to historical epics. With "Paper Tiger," he continues to demonstrate his prowess as one of the most dynamic filmmakers in the industry today. The film is set to release on November 13 through Neon, making it an exciting addition to the lineup for the fall.
