Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, & Miles Teller Are All Gunning for Oscars in Paper Tiger Trailer
NEON is positioning Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller for Oscar campaigns after the film drew strong Cannes notices and a 10-minute standing ovation.
- On Friday, James Gray's crime drama 'Paper Tiger' opens the 64th New York Film Festival. Distributor Neon confirmed an awards campaign for stars Miles Teller, Adam Driver, and Scarlett Johansson.
- Set in 1986 Queens, the 115-minute film follows brothers Gary, an ex-cop, and Irwin, an engineer, who become entangled in a Russian mafia scheme dumping oil near the Gowanus Canal, endangering their family.
- Produced on a $15 million budget with 24 executive producers, the drama reflects Gray's 'operatic' approach. He incorporates Hitchcockian elements into the family story, aiming to edge 'closer to spectacle' than his prior work.
- Following its festival circuit, Neon will release the film in select theaters on November 13, expanding nationwide on November 20. The project garnered a 10-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Festival.
- Neon intends to break the trend of Gray's prior films failing to receive full-fledged awards pushes. Despite widespread critical acclaim, the director has never secured an Academy nomination.
