George Clooney is back and he’s bringing the drama—and the laughs—in Netflix’s latest venture, “Jay Kelly,” directed by Noah Baumbach. Prepare for Hollywood-on-Hollywood action with a star-studded lineup and some juicy new stills released ahead of its Venice Film Festival debut.
A-List Alert
“Jay Kelly” has a cast lineup that screams FOMO:
- George Clooney
- Adam Sandler
- Laura Dern
- Greta Gerwig
- Patrick Wilson
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Emily Mortimer co-wrote this dramedy with Baumbach, promising a mix of existential crisis and top-tier hilarity.
Plot Vibe Check
The plot tea? George Clooney plays a massive movie star (shocking, I know) facing a major vibe check in his 60s. He’s juggling family estrangement, mourning a mentor, and reuniting with Billy Crudup’s character for a cold splash of reality. Sandler’s on duty as his loyal manager, with Dern as the publicist—basically, it’s all about who’s keeping the chaos in check.
Creative Power Moves
This flick’s not just boasting a killer cast. Behind the scenes, mega-producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, of “Bond 26” fame, are steering the ship. Color us intrigued. According to Vanity Fair, the film will hit the big screens briefly on November 14 before dropping on Netflix in December. So, keep that calendar open.
Pop over to Vanity Fair’s latest profile for more pics and gossip to tide you over until the trailer drops. Meanwhile, revel in the glory of these Linus Sandgren’s images—they’re not just pretty, they’re Oscar-level stunning.
Stay tuned, because if George Clooney and Noah Baumbach are involved, you know this one’s going to be lowkey iconic.
