New Delhi:
The trailer of Caught Stealing, an upcoming crime thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky is out.
The trailer introduces Hank Thompson, played by Austin Butler - a former baseball player who's now living a quiet life as a bartender in New York City during the late 1990s.
Things spiral quickly when he agrees to look after his neighbour's cat. What seems like an ordinary favour suddenly puts him at the centre of a dangerous criminal mess.
Soon, Hank is chased by several gangs - including Russian and Puerto Rican criminals - and finds himself in violent situations with no idea how he got there. His girlfriend Yvonne (played by Zoe Kravitz) gets caught up in the chaos and the couple is forced to fight their way out of the mess.
The trailer is fast-paced, showing car chases, fights, and tense standoffs. There are moments of dark humour too, with Hank swinging a baseball bat as things get more out of control.
The movie is based on a book series by Charlie Huston, who also wrote the screenplay. It is produced by Protozoa, with Darren Aronofsky, Jeremy Dawson, Dylan Golden, and Ari Handel on board as producers.
Aronofsky, best known for directing The Whale (2022), which earned Brendan Fraser an Oscar, said that Caught Stealing was filmed in New York and called it "a true love letter to the greatest city in the world."
Austin Butler, who appeared in Dune: Part Two, The Bikeriders and the series Masters of the Air, will also appear in Ari Aster's upcoming film Eddington, which recently screened at the Cannes Film Festival and stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone. The film is set to hit theatres on August 29.

Brad Pitt's Mom Jane Dies At 84; Family Says 'We Were Not Ready For You To Go Yet'
Jane Pitt, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings - Doug and Julie - in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father. Brad Pitt is grieving the loss of his beloved mother, Jane Pitt, who passed away at the age of 84. Jane, a retired school counselor, raised Brad and his siblings – Doug and Julie – in Springfield, Missouri, alongside their father, William Pitt, a former trucking company owner. Though the family kept a low profile, Jane occasionally stepped into the public eye to support her Oscar-winning son, attending red carpets including the 2012 Oscars and the 2014 premiere of Unbroken, directed by then-daughter-in-law Angelina Jolie. On Wednesday, August 6, Brad's niece Sydney — Doug's daughter — shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Calling Jane 'the biggest heart," she wrote, 'My sweet Grammy, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier." Sydney added, 'She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it. I don't know how we move forward without her." Jane Pitt was not only a dedicated mother and grandmother but also a passionate supporter of children's health. In 2009, Brad and his siblings donated $1 million to open the Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center in Missouri. The facility brought the region its first pediatric oncologist and hematologist, demonstrating the family's commitment to meaningful change. Even as recently as June 2025, Brad Pitt paid tribute to his mom during a press interview for his film F1. Speaking to Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, he smiled and said, 'I gotta say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning. To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom," before blowing a kiss on camera. Jane's deep impact on her children's lives was evident in a 2018 video for WorldServe International. 'I'm very proud of all my children," she said. 'They see a need and try to step in and fill it… It's an amazing thing." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Brad Pitt mourns mother Jane at 84 amid painful family rift
Brad Pitt's mother, Jane Etta Pitt, has died at age 84, his niece Sydney confirmed in an emotional Instagram tribute. She described Jane, a former Missouri school counselor, as having "the biggest heart" and teaching kindness, faith, and finding joy in small things. Jane, married to trucking executive William Pitt for 62 years, was the family's "glue," famously mediating disputes and attending red carpets with her Oscar-winning son. Brad last publicly acknowledged her in June, blowing a kiss during a TV interview: 'Love you, Mom'. Her death follows a January scam where fraudsters impersonated her to steal $800,000 from a woman convinced she was dating Brad. Jane's passing intensifies Brad's heartbreak over his fractured relationship with his six children. Five have publicly distanced themselves: Zahara (19), Shiloh (18), and Vivienne (16) legally dropped "Pitt" from their surnames, while Pax (20) once called him a 'world-class a--hole'. Only Knox (16) retains "Jolie-Pitt" . The rift stems from a 2016 plane incident where Angelina Jolie accused Brad of physical abuse during a drunken argument with Maddox (22). Though never charged, the children aligned with Jolie. Brad has "virtually no contact" with his adult kids and limited court-mandated visits with the minors. Despite the chasm, Brad clings to hope for reconciliation, especially with twins Knox and Vivienne. He orders their favorite foods during rare visits and "prays they'll give him a chance" . Insiders say he's "totally devastated" by the estrangement but refuses to 'give up'. Jane's death may deepen his isolation: She and William sent annual birthday cards to the grandkids but received no replies . Brad's parents last saw the children in 2014; family photos vanished from social media after 2016. As one source noted: "He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad" . For now, Brad focuses on film projects and girlfriend Ines de Ramon while navigating grief and unanswered texts to his kids.
