‘Jay Kelly' trailer: Netflix unveils first look at Noah Baumbach's film starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler
Netflix has released the first trailer for Jay Kelly , the latest film from acclaimed director Noah Baumbach. George Clooney stars as the titular movie icon, with Adam Sandler playing Ron, his fiercely loyal manager. The film follows the pair on a whirlwind journey across Europe—one that grows unexpectedly introspective as they confront the choices and consequences of their intertwined lives. A standout moment in the trailer sees a young woman confront Jay with a pointed question: 'What do you say to people who say you only play yourself?' Jay replies, unfazed: 'You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it.'
Set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Jay Kelly boasts a powerhouse ensemble including Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Eve Hewson, Greta Gerwig, Alba Rohrwacher, Josh Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Mortimer, Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Isla Fisher, Louis Partridge, and Charlie Rowe. Casting is by Douglas Aibel and Nina Gold.
The film is produced by Amy Pascal, David Heyman, and Baumbach, with a score composed by Nicholas Britell. The trailer is underscored by the original track 'Jay Kelly Theme.' Behind the camera, the creative team includes cinematographer Linus Sandgren, editors Valerio Bonelli and Rachel Durance, sound designer Christopher Scarabosio, production designer Mark Tildesley, and costume designer Jacqueline Durran.
Jay Kelly marks Baumbach's second feature under his multi-year deal with Netflix, following his 2022 adaptation of Don DeLillo's White Noise , which starred Greta Gerwig, Adam Driver, and Don Cheadle. That film also premiered at Venice before streaming globally.

Paige Spiranac opens up about hiding her love life from social media after marriage with Steven Tinoco ended (Image via Getty) Paige Spiranac revealed she is keeping her dating life off limits on social media. The 31-year-old golf influencer spoke during an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday, August 5, on her official Instagram Story. She explained that she was once married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco, but the marriage did not work out. Because of that experience, she decided she will never share her private life online again. Years later, she still gets harsh and hurtful messages about her past. To protect her peace, she chose to keep her personal life just for herself. Paige Spiranac explains decision after failed marriage During the Instagram Story on August 5, Paige Spiranac said, 'I got married young, and when it didn't work out, I decided that I was never, ever, ever, ever going to share my personal life online ever again.' She said those four 'evers' showed how firm she was in her choice. Spiranac married Steven Tinoco in 2019, but they divorced two years later. Even now, she still receives 'horrible and harassing' messages about that relationship, she added. By mentioning her failed marriage so clearly, Spiranac made it plain that she won't discuss boyfriends, dates, or breakups in public. 'I share so much about myself online. I'm very open and honest, but I want to keep a little something just for me,' she said. This shows that some parts of a person's life must stay private even for someone with millions of followers. Paige Spiranac says her mental health comes first when it comes to dating Paige Spiranac said her choice is 'more for my mental wellbeing and my sanity.' She told fans, 'If you never put anything online, you never owe anyone an explanation.' In 2022, she first confirmed she was 'no longer married,' but gave few details at the time. Back then, she warned that public relationships let strangers feel they can pry. 'When you make your relationship public, you give everyone the right to ask questions, and you have to answer them even about breakups,' she told The Spun. Aside from her personal life, Spiranac also answered fun questions in Tuesday's Q&A. She shared her proudest moment and talked about her first acting role in Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix. She filmed a scene with Adam Sandler in Los Angeles this spring and called him 'genuine, funny, kind, humble.' Last month, she walked the red carpet at the film's New York premiere, where she played a sporting goods store employee who helps Happy Gilmore with a golf simulator. Paige Spiranac remains open with fans just not about dating and is focusing on her mental health and growing career. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
