Update 5/29: The full Wolfs trailer, featuring George Clooney and Brad Pitt as two Michael Clayton/Winston Wolf types forced to work together when they’re accidentally double-booked to dispose of the same dead body, dropped this morning. Check it out right here:
George Clooney! Brad Pitt! Two up-and-comers we’ve had our eye on for some time. They last shared the screen sixteen years ago, in 2008’s Burn After Reading, and if you remember anything else about that underratedly absurd Coen Brothers spy farce besides that launched-a-thousand-gifs shot of Brad breaking it down in biker Lycra and Clooney building a horrific lovemaking machine in his basement, you may recall that—sixteen-year-old movie spoiler alert, plus blood-and-gore warning— their big shared scene doesn’t end well for Pitt’s character.
Now the iconic Ocean‘s duo are teaming up once again for Wolfs, a new Columbia Pictures and Apple Original Films action comedy due out in September. The pitch, per an official synopsis? Clooney “plays a professional fixer hired to cover up a high profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two ‘lone wolves’ are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected.”
Since this film features two extremely A-list movie stars and was shot in New York City, we’ve seen plenty of long-lens set photos of Brad and George enjoying each other’s company between setups (and trying to act while looking like they’d rather be swaddled in high-end goosedown instead of wearing only cool-guy leather jackets in the February night.)
But we’ve been waiting a while for our first real look at the rest of Wolfs, which co-stars Amy Ryan and Euphoria‘s Austin Abrams and was written and directed by three-time Spider-Man helmer Jon Watts, but as of this morning— well, okay, as of this morning, we’ve still got another 24 hours to wait for the actual trailer, which drops worldwide tomorrow. In the meantime, you can check out the trailer tease right here:
