If a movie is going to be mostly close-up reactions of its lead actor, then the actor needs to have an expressive face. Jake Gyllenhaal, who more than fits the bill, faced this challenge in the 2021 thriller "The Guilty," directed by Antoine Fuqua (who used unorthodox filming methods to shoot the movie during the pandemic) and scripted by "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto.

In "The Guilty," Gyllenhaal plays Joe Baylor, a 911 dispatcher in Los Angeles. The film takes place almost entirely during one of his shifts. Joe (who has a haunted past) is pretty dispassionate about his job... at first. Then a woman named Emily (Riley Keough) calls him, claiming that she's being kidnapped. Trying to help her from a distance, Joe discovers the culprit is likely her abusive ex-husband Henry (Peter Sarsgaard), but gradually realizes his assumptions about the...

Justice for movie stars. We are just a few months shy of when Noah Baumbach’s ode to a fictional movie star is released, with one of our starriest film stars at its center playing said fictional movie star — George Clooney — and plenty more playing less famous characters. “Jay Kelly” will present a modern day Cary Grant (who is even referenced in the teaser trailer) as he struggles to juggle his life as a mega famous actor. As the teaser previews, Jay Kelly is accused of just playing himself — a criticism that has been levied, too, on Clooney, as well as the Netflix movie’s co-star Adam Sandler. And Clooney said he doesn’t “give a shit” if people do think that.

“Have you ever tried playing yourself? It’s hard to do,” Clooney told Vanity Fair, co-opting a line from “Jay Kelly.”

Ahead of the Nov. 14 theatrical premiere of their film Jay Kelly, which then moves to the streamer on Dec. 5, George Clooney praised his co-star as more than “just some goofy comedian” in the Noah Baumbach comedy-drama.

“This film, more than any film Adam has done, shows what a beautiful, heartfelt, soulful actor he is—I kept telling the cast, ‘Don’t call him Sand Man. Don’t talk to him like he’s just some goofy comedian. He’s actually a really beautiful, wonderful actor,'” he told Vanity Fair.

“Because of what his paycheck is, which is doing big goofy comedies, when he does these other, beautiful, Uncut Gems kinds of movies, it reminds people of that,” added Clooney. “He’s not just a good comedian.

The teaser trailer features “Jay Kelly Theme,” a track from the original score by Nicholas Britell.

Netflix's Jay Kelly, the next entry in Noah Baumbach's filmography, just got a trailer that unveils an unusual coming-of-age story that stars George Clooney and Adam Sandler. The unexpected pairing seems like the perfect match for a film that follows an actor and his manager confronting their past and present while traveling abroad in Europe.

Netflix has released the first teaser for Jay Kelly, which stars Clooney, Sandler, Laura Dern, and a bevy of familiar faces from Hollywood. It's a rather vague trailer for the film, but it does pull the veil over the comedic and satirical tone that Clooney leans into in the beautifully shot footage. Baumbach, who co-wrote Jay Kelly alongside Emily Mortimer, tends to make films about artists and their personal struggles. He isn't reinventing the wheel here, but perhaps the duo of Clooney and Sandler can provide an exciting new canvas for Baumbach to work with.

George Clooney got everything he could have wanted in the teaser trailer for Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly. The actor fittingly plays an actor in the titular role — but one who doesn’t know what comes after fame and fortune. “Are you running to something, or from something?” his manager Ron (Adam Sandler) asks, to which Jay Kelly responds, “Yes.”

Throughout the preview, Jay Kelly feels disconnected, wondering, “How can I play people when I don’t see people?” He barely sees himself, he admits. “I think I’m always alone,...

The first teaser for Jay Kelly is finally here, giving fans a first look at George Clooney and Adam Sandler sharing the screen in Noah Baumbach’s latest film. Netflix released the teaser, which shows a mix of humor, heart, and deep conversations about life, fame, and friendship.

Here is the first teaser trailer for Netflix’s Jay Kelly, the Venice-bound film from Noah Baumbach starring George Clooney in the title role and Adam Sandler as his devoted manager. Have a look above.

Ready to meet “Jay Kelly?”

Noah Baumbach’s latest, which stars George Clooney as a giant movie star and Adam Sandler as his erstwhile agent, arrives on Netflix on December 5 after a limited, awards-qualifying theatrical run on November 14. And, thanks to a new teaser trailer, you can get a glimpse into the world of Jay Kelly. Watch it below.

The “Jay Kelly” cast also includes Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Grace Edwards, Riley Keough, Jim Broadbent, Stacy Keach, Greta Gerwig, Emily Mortimer (who co-wrote the screenplay with Baumbach), Patrick Wilson and many more.

In “Jay Kelly,” the titular movie star travels to Italy to attend a prestigious film festival, with his agent along for the ride. According to a recent Vanity Fair first look, Baumbach and Mortimer connected during the filming of Baumbach’s last film as a director, 2022’s “White Noise” (also for Netflix). That film co-starred Mortimer and husband Alessandro Nivola’s two children,...

“Jay Kelly,” Noah Baumbach’s return to directing after “White Noise,” already has proven to be an awards contender.

But what about the titular Jay Kelly himself?

The feature, whose elusive logline remains, centers on George Clooney’s Jay Kelly, a fictional A-list movie star in his 60s who faces a personal reckoning when he travels to an Italian film festival to receive a tribute award. The synopsis reads: “The film follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly (Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Adam Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe.

George Clooney is hitting back at critics who question his range as an actor.

Speaking to Vanity Fair for a preview piece on Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, the two-time Oscar winner didn’t mince words when addressing criticism that his characters are tantamount to playing versions of himself onscreen.

“Do people say that I only play myself? I don’t give a sh–,” the Good Night, and Good Luck actor said. “There aren’t that many guys in my age group that are allowed to do both broad comedies like O Brother [Where Art Though?] and then do Michael Clayton or Syriana [for which he won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award]. So if that means I’m playing myself all the time, I don’t give a sh–.”

Echoing a quote from the upcoming Jay Kelly — where Clooney portrays a 60-something movie star reflecting on his personal and professional life — he added, “Have you ever tried playing yourself? It’s hard to do.

George Clooney has heard what some people think about his acting, and he says that he just doesn’t care.

The actor addressed this criticism in a new Vanity Fair interview about his starring role in the upcoming Netflix film, Jay Kelly. Written by Noah Baumbach and Emily Mortimer, it’s a story to which the 63-year-old Clooney can relate: a wildly famous actor in his 60s who faces claims of being a one-trick pony en route to collecting a tribute award at an Italian film festival.

“Do people say that I only play myself? I don’t give a shit,” Clooney told Vanity Fair. “There aren’t that many guys in my age group that are allowed to do both broad comedies like O Brother [Where Art Thou?] and then do Michael Clayton or Syriana. So if that means I’m playing myself all the time, I don’t give a shit,...

In her 2023 memoir Love, Pamela, Pamela Anderson made a shocking revelation that her then-boyfriend Kid Rock lost it during the Borat premiere after realizing she was in the film and called her a wh*re. Well, the surprise didn’t land well. She wrote (via Variety),

I didn’t tell Bob I was in the movie, because I wanted to surprise him. I forgot about the part in the film that referenced the s*x tape. Bob stormed out, calling me a wh*re and worse.

Of course, the fallout was ugly and fast. He peeled away in his car, leaving her stranded, only to later destroy a framed photo at home, mistaking Marilyn Monroe for her. While their relationship was already on the verge of cohabitation imploding that night, Anderson has now made her Hollywood comeback in full swing with The Naked Gun reboot.

Details about the characters they’ll be playing are unclear at the moment. According to Deadline, Alpha Gang is an alien invasion comedy about “alien invaders sent to conquer Earth. Disguised in human form as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang, they are ruthless in their mission… until they succumb to the most toxic and contagious human condition of all: emotion.

The Zellner Brothers, the duo behind flatulence-heavy comedy Sasquatch Sunset, are getting weird with alien invasions in the comedy Alpha Gang. Deadline reports today that Chris Pine (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) and Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu) are among the newest cast members.

The alien invasion comedy is said to take place in a heightened reality, lensed by cinematographer Mike Gioulakis. Based on the plot description and the Zellner Brothers’ previous work, it feels safe to expect things to get weird with their latest.

Director David Zellner has credits going back to 1997, when he made his feature directorial debut with the comedy Plastic Utopia, working from a screenplay he wrote with his brother, visual effects artist Nathan Zellner. As of the 2018 Western Damsel, the Zellner Brothers became a directing duo, and in 2020 it was announced that they were going to be making an alien invasion comedy called Alpha Gang, with Andrea Riseborough, Jon Hamm, Nicholas Hoult, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Mackenzie Davis, Sofia Boutella, and Steven Yeun attached to star in the film. But Alpha Gang missed its 2021 production start date and the Zellner Brothers made Sasquatch Sunset instead. Nine months ago, it was announced that the Zellners were circling back to Alpha Gang, and the impressive cast they originally had lined up was replaced by a different impressive bunch of actors: Cate Blanchett (Disclaimer), Dave Bautista (Knock at the Cabin), Léa Seydoux (No Time to Die...

Exclusive: Chris Pine (Star Trek), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Mufasa: The Lion King), and Doona Bae (Rebel Moon) are new additions to the cast of Alpha Gang, the alien invasion comedy from the Zellner Brothers (Sasquatch Sunset).

Character details are under wraps. As previously announced, Cate Blanchett, Léa Seydoux, Dave Bautista, and Riley Keough will also star.

When the project was announced in October 2024, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, and Steven Yeun were also in the ensemble, though they’ve since fallen out for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. Sources attributed it to a combination of factors including scheduling that are constantly in flux for a great many indie film packages.

Alpha Gang follows a group of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth. Disguised in human form as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang, they are ruthless in their mission… until they succumb to the most toxic and contagious human condition of all: emotion.

In 2018, director David Robert Mitchell followed up his notable low-budget horror movie "It Follows" with a giddily gonzo neo-noir film called "Under the Silver Lake." The title alludes to a particularly fashionable, increasingly gentrified neighborhood in Los Angeles where all the ambitious young filmmakers and angel-headed hipsters tend to end up. Andrew Garfield stars in the movie as Sam, an easily distracted, always-stoned 33-year-old slugabed who is just handsome enough to get away with treating people poorly. Then, one night, Sam is invited into the apartment of his comely neighbor, Sarah (Riley Keough), and the two bond in a distant sort of way.

The next morning, Sarah is not only missing from her apartment, but also everything inside seems to have cleared out overnight, and a mysterious symbol has been painted on the wall. Sam, fond of conspiracy theories, dives into the oddball events and bizarro nightlife of Silver Lake...

Charlize Theron is fighting back against the assumption that action has to be a gendered genre. The Oscar winner, who has led action films such as “Atomic Blonde” and recently “The Old Guard 2,” told The New York Times that it’s “harder” to get female-led films made within the genre.

“Yeah, it’s harder. That’s known,” Theron said as to why there are fewer women-driven action movies. “Action films with female leads don’t get greenlit as much as the ones with male leads. I think the thing that always frustrates me is the fact that guys will get a free ride.”

Theron continued that it doesn’t matter whether male actors in the action space are bankable stars; if a male-led movie flops, the actor’s reputation will barely take a hit. “When women do this and the movie maybe doesn’t hit fully, they don’t necessarily get a chance again,...

Exclusive: Random House has taken the North American rights off the table to I’m on the Moon, the debut comedy memoir by former Late Show and Late Night With David Letterman producer Daniel Kellison.

The deal was sealed ahead of a scheduled auction that had already attracted offers from several major publishers.

Originally titled The Fuck-Up—a name that reflected Kellison’s own self-perception during those formative years—the memoir now goes by I’m on the Moon. It chronicles Kellison’s darkly funny and wildly unlikely journey from being raised by a four-time-divorced Vermont hippie mom and a one-eyed babysitter, to taking a hit of acid and deciding, with sudden clarity, that he had to work for his hero, David Letterman. “From the ominous glow of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant to the bright lights of 30 Rock…”

The book charts Kellison’s rise from a chaotic childhood...

Hollywood has always been a family business.

One generation’s A-lister often leads to another’s breakout role — sometimes riding on a wave of familiar last names, other times actively ducking the spotlight.

But legacy doesn’t guarantee sameness. In fact, that’s where things get interesting.

While some actors seem molded in the image of their famous parents, others flip the script entirely.

They avoid the genre, tone, or polish that made their families household names — carving a quieter, quirkier, or downright chaotic path all their own. That contrast, that break from expectation, is where the fun begins.
