**Austin Butler Plunges into NYC Crime in Aronofsky’s “Caught Stealing” – First Trailer Drops!**

**New York, NY –** Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s highly anticipated crime thriller, “Caught Stealing,” starring Austin Butler as Hank Thompson, a former baseball player caught in the criminal underworld of 1990s New York City. The film, adapted from Charlie Huston’s acclaimed book series, promises a gritty and suspenseful ride through a treacherous landscape Thompson never expected.

The trailer offers a glimpse into Butler’s transformation as he navigates dangerous situations and morally ambiguous characters. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Bad Bunny, Matt Smith, Regina King, Vincent D’Onofrio, Action Bronson, Liev Schreiber and Griffin Dunne, with Zoë Kravitz playing Butler’s love interest.

“I am excited to be teaming up with my old friends at Sony Pictures to bring Charlie’s adrenaline-soaked roller coaster ride to life. I can’t wait to start working with Austin and my family of NYC filmmakers,” Aronofsky previously stated.

“Darren is one of the most brilliant audiovisual storytellers in the world, and adapting these wonderful books by Charlie Huston for Austin to star was too exciting an opportunity to not be a part of,” said Sanford Panitch, president of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group.

Aronofsky, known for his visually striking and psychologically intense films such as “The Whale,” “Black Swan,” and “Requiem for a Dream,” is partnering with Sony to bring Huston’s dark and compelling story to life.

Butler, fresh off his success in “Masters of the Air” and “Dune: Part Two,” continues to solidify his position as a leading man. Kravitz, recently directing “Blink Twice,” adds another layer of talent to the already star-studded cast.

“Caught Stealing” is set to hit theaters nationwide on August 29th. Audiences can watch the trailer now.
