The new trailer for Paper Tiger has been released, offering a closer look at the upcoming crime drama starring Scarlett Johansson, Adam Driver and Miles Teller. Written and directed by James Gray, the film is set in New York in 1986 and follows a family whose life changes after they become connected to a criminal deal.
Miles Teller plays Irwin, an engineer who is trying to build a stable life for himself and his family. Things take a different turn when his brother Gary, played by Adam Driver, brings him into a business deal involving Russian criminals. What first looks like an opportunity soon becomes a serious problem for Irwin and those closest to him.
Gary is a former police officer, and his connection to the criminal world brings Irwin into a situation he may not be prepared to handle. As the deal becomes more dangerous, Irwin finds his marriage and relationship with his children coming under pressure. His relationship with Gary also becomes more difficult as he begins to question the choices that brought him into the situation.
The film is set in the outer boroughs of New York, an environment that has been an important part of James Gray’s filmmaking. The new trailer gives viewers a look at the growing tension between the brothers and the problems that follow after Irwin becomes involved in the deal. The story also explores family loyalty and how one decision can affect an entire family.
Paper Tiger marks another collaboration between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. The two actors previously appeared together in Marriage Story, where they played a married couple dealing with a difficult divorce. Their reunion in this film brings them into a very different story.
The film premiered at Cannes earlier this year and will open the New York Film Festival on September 25. Paper Tiger will release in select US theatres on November 13 before expanding nationwide on November 20.
A teaser trailer was released in August. The latest trailer gives a longer look at the characters and the criminal situation that puts Irwin’s family under pressure.
