Netflix just dropped the first trailer for a new George Clooney and Adam Sandler comedy movie — and I can't wait to stream it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix just dropped a teaser trailer for "Marriage Story" — director Noah Baumbach's upcoming comedy-drama starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, giving us our first proper introduction to "Jay Kelly." Billed as a "heartbreaking" new watch on Tudum, the streaming service's forthcoming release pairs the two stars as a famous actor (method acting much?) and his devoted manager, respectively. Admittedly, this first trailer doesn't give too much away about the movie: it's mostly teeing up Kelly's all-star reputation. We might not know Jay Kelly yet, but everyone else seems to. The drama seems to come from Kelly wrestling with said reputation and his own identity, judging by that one line he drops on a train: "You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it." However, it does offer a few glimpses at what's in store in this snapshot of the movie star's actor, and ends up with one hell of a cast list. It might only be a teaser trailer, but this first look at "Jay Kelly" is a promising one, to me. It sets the tone just right, and with such a magnetic star at the helm, I can't wait to see what this slice of Jay Kelly's life has in store. If you're also excited to watch "Jay Kelly?" You can add it to your fall watchlist, as this teaser confirms the new Netflix movie will hit "select theaters" on November 14, before "Jay Kelly" comes to the streaming service on Friday, December 5, 2025. What else do we know about 'Jay Kelly' on Netflix? Netflix has already shared a brief synopsis for "Jay Kelly," which reads: "The new film from Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Adam Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe. Along the way, both men are forced to confront the choices they've made, the relationships with their loved ones, and the legacies they'll leave behind." The other major bit of news we have is that stacked cast list. In addition to our two leads, "Jay Kelly" also features Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Eve Hewson, Greta Gerwig, Alba Rohrwacher, Josh Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Emily Mortimer (who co-wrote the movie with Baumbach), Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Isla Fisher, Louis Partridge and Charlie Rowe. The streamer has also released a handful of new images from the movie alongside the above trailer, which we've shared throughout this article.

5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and more (Aug. 12-18)
The summer rolls on and if the outdoor heat has you wanting to stay indoors where it's cooler, the best streaming services are offering plenty of new movies to keep you busy. After sitting out last week, Netflix is back with a bang this week. The world's biggest streaming service is launching not one, but two, new originals this week, and they're very different. One is an animated canine comedy very much for grown-ups, while the other is a somber crime thriller that sees a woman pushed to the brink over one very long night. Meanwhile, HBO Max has a fantasy adventure from A24, and Hulu has a horror that has really caught my eye. So, these are the top new movies landing across streaming platforms this week, and don't forget to check out our guide to the top new TV shows this week, either. 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' director Ari Aster returns with 'Eddington,' a neo-Western black comedy that is proving to be just as divisive as his previous movie 'Beau is Afraid" (which I enjoyed). Perhaps 'Eddington's' biggest draw is the all-star cast, which includes Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler and Emma Stone. Aster's committed fanbase won't need convincing to give this one a watch, but those who found 'Beau's' warped adventure more confusing than compelling might feel a similar sense of frustration with 'Eddington.' The movie takes place in the eponymous town of Eddington, New Mexico, and centers on a standoff between the sheriff (Phoenix) and the incumbent mayor (Pascal), running for reelection. Set during the COVID-19 pandemic, the two disagree over safety protocols, and as you would expect from an Ari Aster movie, the situation rapidly escalates further. Buy or rent on Amazon from August 12 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Netflix's new animated comedy features a pack of cartoon canines, but this is certainly not a family-friendly flick. 'Fixed' is an animated movie for older viewers, packed with crude humor, sexual innuendo and, based on the trailer, many sightings of animal genitalia. It looks like a farcical comedy, and it's the first adult animated movie from Sony Pictures Animation. The idea seems very silly on paper, but Sony has recruited a solid voice cast including Adam DeVine, Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn and Fred Armisen, giving the wacky concept some credibility. 'Fixed' focuses on a terrier named Bull (DeVine), who is shocked to discover he's set to be neutered in just 24 hours. Faced with this life-altering event on the horizon, he sets out on a final madcap adventure with his best friends before waving goodbye to his testicles. Yes, that's the actual premise of the movie. I'm not sure how to feel about this one, but I'm pretty confident it won't be a Netflix movie to watch with your parents or with young kids. Watch on Netflix from August 13 I'll confess that 'It Feeds' wasn't on my radar prior to being added to Hulu's release calendar for this week, but after doing a little research, I'm surely intrigued by this horror-thriller, and it's most definitely going straight into my weekly watchlist. For starters, not only does its dark premise sound spooky in all the right ways, but it also holds an impressive 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes. 2025 has already been an excellent year for horror movies, and 'It Feeds' looks like another winner for the genre. Cynthia (Ashley Greene) is a clairvoyant therapist with a young daughter, Jordan (Ellie O'Brien). Battling personal demons of her own, she's sucked into a sinister nightmare when a young girl bursts into her home practice and begs for help. The girl believes that an evil entity is feeding on her, and it's up to Cynthia to unravel the mystery and find a way to stop the malevolent presence before time runs out. Watch on Hulu from August 15 By most accounts, 'The Legend of Ochi' is a delightful adventure movie full of whimsy and wonder. But while it features an adorable creature, it's not necessarily a family movie, as it incorporates darker themes and gets pretty emotionally heavy at certain moments. Meanwhile, critics have praised the movie for the design of the titular creatures, which have been brought to life using old-school puppetry rather than CGI effects. Set in a secluded village in the mountains of Ukraine, Yuri (Helena Zengel) is instructed to never go out after dark for fear of encountering vicious creatures known as the Ochi. But when she discovers an injured young Ochi left behind by its own kind, she sets off on an adventure to reunite the lost creature with its family. Learning a few life lessons on the way. Watch on HBO Max from August 15 I've been particularly unimpressed with Netflix's original movie slate this summer, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that 'Night Always Comes' is going to be the high-quality hit that the streaming service needs right now. There are reasons to be optimistic. For starters, it stars Oscar-nominee and 'Fantastic Four' alumna Vanessa Kirby, and it comes from director Benjamin Caron, a Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning filmmaker. In 'Night Always Comes', Kirby plays a desperate woman who has just a single night to raise $25,000 to avoid her family being evicted from their home. As the night progresses, she becomes increasingly desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to secure her family's future. The movie also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Zack Gottsagen and Randall Park. The fact that it hasn't been screened at any film festivals in the lead-up to release — a common method of generating early buzz — is a tad concerning, but I'm staying hopeful it'll be a high-quality thriller.

‘Freakier Friday' Review: Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan Make a Charming Case for the Value of the Legacyquel
You'd be forgiven if your moviegoing interest in the legacyquel — a clever term for a next-gen sequel to a popular, typically very nostalgic film that former IndieWire editor Matt Singer coined over a decade ago — has waned. Again, Singer spotlighted the phenomenon over a decade ago, and franchise-mad Hollywood shows no signs of breaking with the pattern. 'Tron: Ares' is fast approaching, and, just last week, Netflix launched 'Happy Gilmore 2.' In the past year alone, we've had 'Karate Kid: Legends,' 'Gladiator II,' and 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.' Mileage on these titles very much varies, as does critical response and audience enjoyment. Leave it to Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan to crack the code as to what makes a good legacyquel, which they've done quite handily with their long-gestating 'Freaky Friday' sequel, Nisha Ganatra's charming and quite fun 'Freakier Friday.' The secret? Fittingly enough, it harkens back to exactly what Curtis and Lohan brought to Mark Waters' 2003 'Freaky Friday': actual verve, obvious joy, and performances that are about three times better than they need to be. More from IndieWire 'Nadja,' from Michael Almereyda and EP David Lynch, Gets 4K Director's Cut from Grasshopper Films TIFF Announces 2025 Wavelengths Lineup, Featuring the Very Best of the Avant-Garde If you're of the mind that Curtis should have won her first Oscar for her work in Waters' film, thanks to a spectacular and incredibly funny turn as overworked mom Tess Coleman, who switches bodies with her wise-ass teenage daughter (Lohan), leading to all kinds of high jinks, 'Freakier Friday' is very much for you. Twenty-two years ago, Curtis turned in some of her best work as a sassy rocker teenager trapped in the body of her strait-laced mom, and revisiting that concept is more than enough reason to launch a sequel. The twist? Lohan ably matches Curtis' vim and vigor, and a pair of young stars give them a serious run for their money as their body-switching compatriots. Simply put: Here is a legacyquel worth the wait. What a concept! Written by Jordan Weiss (who shares story-by credit with Elyse Hollander), the sequel makes an early claim to something sort of tricky: Yes, it's going to love its various characters and their very different generational markers, but it's sure as heck gonna poke some fun at them, too. More than two decades on from the first film, we find Tess (Curtis) still working as a therapist, now armed with a podcast she's attempting to launch, despite her Boomer tendencies to not actually record the damn thing. Anna (Lohan) is a single mom with a hip career as a music manager, but she's also prone to attempting woo-woo deep-breathing techniques to ease her stress. And Anna's teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters)? She's got a 'no triggering' sign on her bedroom and attends a high school where 'gluten-free' is the default offering for any and all foodstuffs. Still, the Coleman ladies really love each other, and as Tess tells us in voiceover, when Anna decided to become a single mom all those years ago, she vowed they'd raise Harper together. Intergenerational parenting! Thank God that Tess and Anna are armed with some deep, hard-fought empathy for each other (thanks, everything that happened in 'Freaky Friday'), but that doesn't inure them from tough stuff to come. Surely, it's nothing a little double body-switching can't cure? The fourth member of this ill-fated quad soon comes into focus: British transfer student Lily (Sophia Hammons), who cannot stand laidback surf bum Harper (the feeling is mutual). When the girls' deep dislike for each other explodes into chem lab violence, their single (very, very much single) parents are forced into a parent-teacher meeting for the ages. The sparks are instant for Anna and Lily's dad Eric (Manny Jacinto), and a zippy montage races us through their speedy romance, straight into an autumn wedding that, like many things in Ganatra's film, sweetly echoes the original. But the days leading up to the nuptials aren't all flowers and puppies, and when all four ladies are forced to mix and mingle at Anna's bachelorette party… well, you can probably see the swapping to come, or at least the need for the swapping to come. This time around, it comes courtesy of an absolutely hilarious Vanessa Bayer as a multi-hyphenate psychic who can't seem to nail any of her many jobs (Reiki to Starbucks, business card-making to something involving dogs?), but has somehow harnessed the power to swap the bodies and souls of four women. (The film is entertaining enough to paper over some small plot holes, but audiences should be prepared to walk out of the theater happy and a bit confused over the finer points of what the heck just happened.) Soon enough, Anna and Harper have switched (Butters nails the uptight-adult-in-kid-body ask, while Lohan gets to dabble in the teenage fun she wasn't able to in the first film), along with Lily and Tess (if this was all a bid to get Curtis back to playing nutso teens in her adult body, the full force of her performance makes that reasoning hard to argue with). While Anna and Tess naturally team up to try to reverse things — and how fun for everyone else to see 'Harper and Lily' hanging out — Harper and Lily come up with a different idea: They'll use this as an opportunity to break up their parents finally. Consider it a reverse 'Parent Trap,' and Curtis and Lohan go wild with the possibilities, the two actresses clearly delighting in getting to go on this new adventure together (if the first film was missing anything, it was the fizzy fun of seeing the pair sharing the screen). And while much of what they take on is, well, kind of silly — consider a long-form montage sequence in which the duo try on wacky outfits with Anna's rising star client Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) — the obvious joy with which that stuff is approached is contagious. It seems like the easiest ask — let's make this 'Freaky Friday' sequel as entertaining and funny as the first one! — but just look at a decade-plus worth of dour, dim, and dismal fellow legacyquels, and it's clear how rare 'Freakier Friday' really is. While many of the beats might feel familiar, there's something cozy about those story points (that the film is centered on a wedding, just like the original, mostly feels right), and even some early tonal issues are forgotten as the film ratchets up its enthusiasm and good humor. Curtis and Lohan's commitment naturally extends to some bouts of dizzying physical comedy, some of the best examples taking place at (gasp!) at a record store belonging to no less than Jake (returning co-star Chad Michael Murray), who romanced both Coleman ladies in the first film. As Lohan attempts to flirt in such a way that it makes her look like she's having a medical emergency, and Curtis finds herself crawling and joint-cracking around nearly every inch of the joint's floor, another sort of spell takes hold — this time, on the audience. The best you can do? Embrace it. Something like this might only come around once every 22 years. Grade: B+ Walt Disney Pictures will release 'Freakier Friday' in theaters on Friday, August 8.
