Adam Driver, Miles Teller Star in 'Paper Tiger' Teaser Trailer
Gray said he lets actors shape scenes as Locarno prepares to honor him and screen Paper Tiger for an 8,000-seat Piazza Grande crowd.
- Filmmaker James Gray presented his crime drama Paper Tiger to an 8,000-capacity crowd on the Piazza Grande at the 79th Locarno Film Festival, where he received the Career Leopard honor.
- Set in 1980s New York, the film stars Adam Driver and Miles Teller as brothers who "become entangled in a scheme that turns out to be too good to be true," with Scarlett Johansson co-starring as Hester.
- Gray explained his directorial approach, allowing actors to "tell me what they want to do" to ensure comfort while shooting rehearsals because "messiness is always interesting."
- At a Sunday press conference, Gray described Italian cinema from 1945 to 1980 as "unparalleled," calling movies "the closest thing we have to a dream."
- The Locarno Film Festival runs through August 15, showcasing Gray's classic titles We Own the Night and Two Lovers alongside Paper Tiger, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
