LOS ANGELES, CA — The trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s highly anticipated crime caper, ‘Caught Stealing,’ has been released, showcasing the film’s thrilling plot set in 1990s New York City.

Austin Butler stars as Hank Thompson, a former baseball prodigy who finds himself navigating the dangerous underworld of NYC. The logline describes Hank as being ‘unexpectedly embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival amidst the criminal underbelly,’ revealing a tense storyline that ensues when he agrees to watch his neighbor’s cat.

‘I am excited to be teaming up with my old friends at Sony Pictures to bring Charlie Huston’s adrenaline-soaked roller coaster ride to life,’ Aronofsky said in a statement. He praised Huston’s books, from which the film is adapted, as captivating and dynamic.

Aronofsky has an impressive track record, with previous works including the Academy Award-winning film ‘The Whale.’ He aims with ‘Caught Stealing’ to offer a lighter tone while keeping the thrill intact.
