Scarlett Johansson reunited with Adam Driver and Miles Teller at the New York Film Festival premiere of *Paper Tiger*, despite arriving jet-lagged from filming another project overseas.

Set in 1986, *Paper Tiger* follows two brothers whose plan to clean up New York’s Gowanus Canal draws the attention of the Russian mafia, with Johansson playing Linda, Teller’s character’s wife. The 64th NYFF runs until 12 October and also includes premieres from Luca Guadagnino, Ava DuVernay, Tony Gilroy and Takashi Yamazaki.
