Getty Images After weeks of suspense, James Gray‘s anticipated next film “Paper Tiger” has joined the Palme d’Or race at the Cannes Film Festival. The gritty crime thriller, starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller, will world premiere in competition, while Neon has secured North American rights, Variety has learned.
“Paper Tiger” follows two brothers as they try to achieve the American dream, only to become “entangled in a scheme that turns out to be too good to be true.” The film’s synopsis reads: “As they try to navigate their way through an ever-more dangerous world of corruption and violence, they find themselves and their family brutally terrorized by the Russian ‘Mafiya.’ Their bond begins to fray, and betrayal — once utterly unthinkable — now becomes all too possible.”
