“CAUGHT STEALING” screenplay by Charlie Huston, directed by Darren Aronofsky, starring Austin King, Regina King & Zoe Kravitz – The Trailer is Here!

The trailer for Caught Stealing is here and I am sold.

The film’s based on Charlie Huston’s novel CAUGHT STEALING.  I’ve been a fan of the book (and Charlie Huston) since I first read it nearly two decades ago.  CAUGHT STEALING is the first of a trilogy that gets my highest recommendation.  I hope the movie can match the level of excellence.

He was just supposed to watch the cat. Now he’s running for his f**king life.

Austin Butler stars in Darren Aronofsky’s #CaughtStealingMovie – only in theatres August 29.

Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant.

When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him; the problem is he has no idea why. As Hank attempts to evade their ever-tightening grip, he’s got to use all his hustle to stay alive long enough to find out…
