George Clooney and Brad Pitt are set to reunite on the big screen in the upcoming action-comedy “Wolfs,” directed by Jon Watts. The first teaser trailer, though brief, gives a tantalizing glimpse of the duo in an awkwardly silent car ride, signaling the return of their dynamic chemistry from the “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise.
“Wolfs” features Clooney as a professional fixer tasked with covering up a high-profile crime. Pitt portrays a second fixer who arrives on the scene, forcing the two lone wolves to collaborate. Predictably, their night spirals out of control in unexpected ways. The film, written and directed by Watts, who is known for his work on “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” also stars Austin Abrams, Amy Ryan, and Poorna Jagannathan.
This project marks another collaboration between Clooney and Pitt, who previously starred together in the “Ocean’s” franchise and the Coen Brothers’ “Burn After Reading.” Their previous work has been celebrated for its sharp wit and engaging performances, and fans are eagerly anticipating their return to a similar genre.
Clooney has expressed high confidence in “Wolfs,” revealing that discussions about a sequel are already underway. He praised director Jon Watts, describing the film as “an off the charts great film” and emphasizing the joy and talent Watts brings to the project. Clooney also highlighted the positive experience of working with Pitt again, calling the shoot “a blast.”
In an era where streaming services are dominating the release strategies for new films, Clooney and Pitt have taken a stand to ensure “Wolfs” receives a theatrical release. They have even sacrificed part of their salaries to make this possible. Clooney noted that while this decision was initially unpopular, the success of theatrical releases like “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” has reinforced the value of traditional cinema experiences, which in turn boosts their performance on streaming platforms.
The excitement surrounding “Wolfs” is palpable, with fans and critics alike eager to see Clooney and Pitt’s on-screen chemistry once more in what promises to be a thrilling and entertaining ride.
