Wolves Trailer
In the 2 minute 43 second long trailer, a woman calls a fixer for help after a murder. Unfortunately, it seems more than one person was sent to handle the job. George and Brad make it clear that this is “not (their) way of doing things” but they are not given a choice in the matter. They soon realize that the body they are transporting may not be dead, which leads to chaos. The person they are handling describes them as “basically the same guy”, which irritates them.
About Wolves
Directed by Brad and George John, the film is produced under the banners of Plan B Productions and Smokehouse Pictures. Apple is also producing the film in collaboration with them, while Sony Pictures Releasing is distributing it. Apart from the lead pair, Wolves also stars Austin Abrams, Amy Ryan and Poorna Jagannathan.
Fans reacted to the trailer, saying that it is a reunion they ‘deserve’. A fan wrote, “The union of the Ocean’s franchise and Bullet Train. This is the best kind of movie we wanted to see!” Another wrote, “Ocean’s Eleven vibes man…. This will be a treat for cinema lovers.”
Brad and George reunite
For those who don’t know, Brad and George have been working together for 16 years. They worked together in Ocean’s Eleven and its sequels Ocean’s Twelve and Thirteen. Their last film was Burn After Reading in 2008.
while talking to Entertainment Tonight In December, George sarcastically joked that he was working with “pretty boy” Brad again because “he needed the work, he’s an up-and-coming artist.” When asked if he felt like no time had passed since working on Wolves, George said, “No, it feels like a lot of time has passed. A lot of time.”
Wolves will be released in theaters on September 20.
