Jeff shares insights into the film industry’s latest buzz, highlighting the anticipation around Paper Tiger, Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver’s collaboration, and its Cannes Film Festival debut. The movie, distributed by Neon in North America and SND in France, joins a lineup of critically acclaimed films like The Monkey and The Secret Agent, all vying for the Palme d’Or.

Directed by James Gray—known for Oscar-nominated works like The Yards—the film features a stellar cast including Miles Teller, with a plot centered on brothers entangled in a Russian mafia scheme. Producers include Oscar-winning director Raffaella Leone and industry veterans like Gary Farkas and Marco Perego.

Johansson and Driver’s partnership extends beyond this film; they previously worked together on a divorce-themed story. Their careers shine brightly: Johansson with roles in Jojo Rabbit and Lost in Translation, Driver in BlacKkKlansman and Lincoln. Both are celebrated for their versatility across film and television.

Now, seven years after Marriage Story, they reunite for this gritty thriller. While details about the theatrical release remain under wraps, Neon’s involvement ensures a strong launch at Cannes.
