We could also be transferring in the direction of the latter a part of the 2025 film schedule, however there are nonetheless loads of nice titles being launched at this level within the yr. Caught Stealing, the most recent function from director Darren Aronofsky, is among the most up-to-date movies to hit cinemas. To date, the crime thriller has captured critics’ consideration, and it’s additionally earned a glance from Hugh Jackman. That was evidenced by the truth that Jackman posted some phrases of help for Aronofsky and co. amid the movie’s opening weekend.
The Caught Stealing premiere in New York drew out a number of notable faces this previous week, and amongst them was Hugh Jackman. It was there that he not solely posed for pictures but in addition blended it up with Darren Aronofsky and the forged. Jackman even posed for pictures with the movie’s lead actor, Austin Butler and, as a video shared by THR confirmed, the Australian actor had sort phrases for Butler’s work. Someday later, Jackman took to his Instagram story to share a photograph of himself that was taken on the premiere and to share a message:
Go see [Caught Stealing]!! Congrats to my expensive pal [Darren Aronofsky] & the massively proficient forged.
The person who was initially doubted for the function of Wolverine has constructed a fame for being one of many kindest stars in present enterprise, and this put up actually tracks with that. I truthfully by no means get bored with seeing artists help one another, and it is a candy instance of that. Additionally, I suppose it in all probability shouldn’t be all that stunning that Jackman attended that premiere and praised the movie. That’s due to his connection to the director.
Darren Aronofsky beforehand collaborated with Hugh Jackman on the 2006 movie The Fountain. The science-fiction, romance movie that entails three completely different tales involving diversified characters performed by Jackman and Rachel Weisz. Whereas the film bombed on the field workplace and acquired blended opinions, it has garnered one thing of a cult following. Now, after seeing Jackman shout out Aronofsky, part of me is considering the opportunity of them reuniting for one more movie in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
At this level, although, numerous eyes appear to be on Caught Stealing, which was positively reviewed by CinemaBlend’s Eric Eisenberg. The film facilities round a former baseball participant (Austin Butler) who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the legal underworld in Nineties New York after agreeing to observe a neighbor’s cat. Additionally within the film are Zoë Kravitz (with whom Butler was aggressive amid a scene), a mohawk-sporting Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Benito Martínez Ocasio (Dangerous Bunny), Regina King and Carol Kane.
So it just about goes with out saying that Darren Aronofsky assembled fairly the ensemble for his latest manufacturing, and it’s great to see that it’s being properly acquired. The icing on the cake for me, nonetheless, is the sight of Hugh Jackman sharing some reward for the movie. In some instances, the ties that bind some creatives could be fairly sturdy, and it appears Jackman and Aronofsky nonetheless have a strong bond.
Try Caught Stealing, which is enjoying in theaters nationwide now. Followers who wish to take a look at The Fountain also can accomplish that by renting or shopping for it on digital platforms.
