Scarlett Johansson, Miles Teller and Adam Driver Reunite in James Gray’s Paper Tiger
Hey movie lovers, guess what? We’ve got a big one coming up. If you’re a fan of movies like Marriage Story, Top Gun: Maverick, or gritty American dramas — this is gonna be your jam.
Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller are teaming up with Adam Driver for a brand-new film called Paper Tiger, directed by James Gray. Yep, that’s the same guy who gave us Ad Astra and The Lost City of Z. The film is set to begin shooting next month in New Jersey. That’s right, Jersey is about to get busy.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about this exciting project.
Johansson and Driver Reunite
Remember Marriage Story from 2019? That emotional rollercoaster that made all of us ugly cry? Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver starred in it — and both got Oscar nominations. They had crazy-good chemistry, and fans have been waiting for them to reunite. Now it’s happening with Paper Tiger, and honestly, we’re hyped.
Johansson has been killing it in Hollywood for years. From Lost in Translation to Jojo Rabbit to being Black Widow in the Avengers movies, she’s done it all. She’s also headed to the Cannes Film Festival this year for Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme, and she’s making her directorial debut with Eleanor the Great. That’s a busy summer, y’all.
Miles Teller is on Fire Too
Miles Teller isn’t slowing down either. After blowing up in Top Gun: Maverick, he’s been lining up one project after another. He starred in The Gorge on Apple TV+, just finished filming Michael (yep, the Michael Jackson biopic), and Eternity with Elizabeth Olsen. Plus, he’s got two more films on the way — Possum Song and Winter Games. This man is booked and busy.
Teller brings that gritty, all-American energy to his roles. Whether it’s in intense dramas like Whiplash or emotional love stories like The Spectacular Now, he brings the heat. Seeing him act alongside Driver and Johansson? That’s something special.
What’s ‘Paper Tiger’ All About?
So, Paper Tiger isn’t just a catchy name. This movie is being described as tense and gritty. It follows two brothers chasing the American dream — classic setup, right? But then, things take a dark turn. They get pulled into a sketchy scheme and end up in some deep trouble with the Russian Mafiya.
Yeah, you read that right. Russian mobsters.
As their world spirals into violence and corruption, their bond starts falling apart. Betrayal creeps in. The movie’s giving serious crime-thriller-meets-family-drama vibes. Think The Departed mixed with American History X. Fans of hard-hitting drama are in for a treat.
Why Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong Left
Interesting twist — the roles Johansson and Teller are taking were originally meant for Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong. But because of scheduling conflicts (Hollywood’s always got that problem), they had to drop out. Still, we can’t complain about this new cast. This might be one of the most stacked lineups of the year.
Who’s Making This Happen?
The movie’s being produced by Rodrigo Teixeira under RT Features and Anthony Katagas for AK Productions. There are also producers from Italy, France, and the U.S., showing just how global this film really is. CAA Media Finance is handling North American rights, and sales are heating up at the Cannes market right now.
International rights are being handled by The Veterans, which is run by Vincent Maraval and Kim Fox. That tells us the studio is really backing this one hard. Plus, Sacker Entertainment Law is covering all the legal and business details, so things are rolling smoothly behind the scenes.
Trust me, this film is gonna be all over movie blogs and trailers soon enough.
Scarlett, Miles, and Adam? That’s a dream team. And with James Gray directing, Paper Tiger could easily become one of the year’s must-watch films. Stay tuned, folks.
