One of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven's (and two successors') best features is its ensemble. Apart from being a brilliant heist Thriller with a breezy tone, the movie shines because of the pure movie star magnetism on screen. Mostly this comes from Pitt and Clooney as Rusty Ryan and Danny Ocean, respectively.
Recently, Pitt and Clooney both cast members of John Krasinski's IF, voicing characters. Ocean's Thirteen and Burn After Reading came 17 years apart now. Pitt and Clooney have subsequently independently starred in a variety of ventures, some more successful than others. Pitt, particularly, has had an unusual late career, featuring in films including Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, The Lost City, and Bullet Train. It seems like the ideal time to get the two back together for a two-hander given both performers are now a little older but still have a certain charm.
First footage from Wolfs, an upcoming thriller, shows Brad Pitt and George Clooney reunited. Under Jon Watts' direction, Wolfs chronicles the tale of two lone-wolf fixers sent to the same task. Also starring Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan, the film marks a reunion for Pitt and Clooney, who formerly featured together in the Ocean's trilogy and Burn After Reading.
The first teaser for Wolfs, which shows Pitt and Clooney's characters on an uncomfortable car ride together, is now available from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Look at the teaser down below:
Written and directed by Jon Watts, Wolfs is an action-thriller with Brad Pitt and George Clooney seeing on-screen reunion following over fifteen years. The movie revolves on two fixers hired for the same position who are brought together.
The new footage hints that the movie might feature some dark comedy in its tone even though it doesn't expose too much about it. Additionally hinted at is a full-length trailer scheduled for tomorrow, May 29.
Unlike the Ocean's movies, Pitt and Clooney's upcoming film at least based on its premise will find their two characters more in conflict with one another, at least initially. Two of Hollywood's most identifiable leading males go head-to-head here, and along the line their characters might find some common ground and mutual respect, hence creating an interesting dynamic. Wolfs still begs a lot of questions, but the casting of the film alone makes it an exciting forthcoming release most certainly.
