Matt Smith (House of the Dragon) and Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) are the latest stars to join the cast of Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming crime thriller Caught Stealing, produced by Sony Pictures. The project, already boasting a powerhouse ensemble, will be led by Oscar nominee Austin Butler, with Zoë Kravitz (Blink Twice) and Academy Award winner Regina King also in pivotal roles. While details surrounding Smith and Schreiber’s characters remain under wraps, their involvement heightens anticipation for this high-stakes thriller.
Caught Stealing is adapted from Charlie Huston’s novel of the same name, with Huston himself penning the screenplay. The film centers on Hank Thompson (played by Butler), a washed-up former baseball player whose life takes a perilous turn when he is inadvertently dragged into the gritty underworld of 1990s New York City. As Hank becomes embroiled in a brutal fight for survival, the movie promises to be a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat ride. Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures is producing, signaling the auteur’s return to intense and cerebral storytelling.
Smith, currently captivating audiences as the enigmatic Prince Daemon Targaryen in HBO’s House of the Dragon, is no stranger to high-profile roles. The Emmy-nominated actor also shined as Prince Philip in The Crown and gained international fame as The Doctor in Doctor Who. His filmography includes standout performances in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and Ryan Gosling’s Lost River.
Meanwhile, Schreiber brings his own impressive credentials to Caught Stealing. Known for his Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated turn in Showtime’s Ray Donovan, Schreiber has recently appeared in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, National Geographic’s WWII miniseries A Small Light, and the biopic Golda. He will soon star alongside Nicole Kidman and Dakota Fanning in Netflix’s upcoming murder mystery series The Perfect Couple, premiering on September 5.
With Aronofsky at the helm and a stellar cast assembled, Caught Stealing promises to be an exhilarating crime thriller packed with intense performances and unexpected twists, set against the gritty backdrop of 1990s NYC. This high-octane film is shaping up to be a must-watch for crime and thriller fans alike.
