‘Paper Tiger’ Trailer: Adam Driver And Miles Teller Are Brothers In Harm’s Way In James Gray’s NYC Drama
Neon has unveiled promotional material for "Paper Tiger," director James Gray's crime drama that premiered in competition at Cannes Film Festival this year. The film is scheduled for limited theatrical release in November, with an earlier appearance as the opening-night selection for the New York Film Festival in September. Gray drew inspiration from his family's real-life brush with the Russian mafia during the 1980s to create this story centred in Queens.
The ensemble features Adam Driver as a former police officer and Miles Teller as an engineer who become entangled in an organized crime scheme, whilst Scarlett Johansson portrays Teller's character's wife navigating the resulting fallout. The Cannes premiere earned a lengthy standing ovation, and early reviews have praised Gray's direction for bringing freshness to the crime-drama genre whilst maintaining emotional authenticity through strong casting choices and character development.
