Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson bring accent A-game to Paper Tiger trailer

Hey, we're New Yorkers over here, and we've got the latest from James Gray, Paper Tiger, opening this November.

Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson bring accent A-game to Paper Tiger trailer

In James Gray's latest film, Paper Tiger, Hollywood stars Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson showcase their accent skills. Originally a pseudo-sequel to Armageddon Time, Paper Tiger delves into the criminal underworld of Gowanus. The film has been generating Oscar buzz, despite not winning the Palme d'Or at the festival circuit. Despite the star power involved, the story is far from a typical Hollywood romp.

The film follows naive engineer Irwin, played by Miles Teller, who partners with his brother Gary, a former cop with a shady past, portrayed by Adam Driver. After witnessing a crime on the Gowanus Canal, the Russian mafia targets Irwin's family and ScarJo's character. The trailer hints at a tense cat-and-mouse game between the brothers and the mob, with the family's safety hanging in the balance. Gray's previous work, We Own The Night, saw him dealing with the Russian mob, and Paper Tiger continues that trend.

Paper Tiger hits theaters on November 13, promising an intense, gritty crime drama featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
