Jay Kelly will premiere in select theaters on Nov. 14 before streaming on Netflix on Dec. 5.
Long-rumored to be a coming-of-age movie about adults, the official logline for Jay Kelly is slightly more vague: 'Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn't know himself.'
In the first photo from the movie, Clooney's Jay Kelly stands in front of a photograph of Jay Kelly, suggesting that the world-famous celebrity is playing a world-famous celebrity.
Baumbach cowrote the movie with Emily Mortimer, who costars in the feature. Other members of the ensemble include Adam Sandler, Billy Crudup, Laura Dern, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Riley Keough, Patrick Wilson, Nicôle Lecky, Thaddea Graham, Jim Broadbent, Eve Hewson, Alba Rohrwacher, Lenny Henry, Josh Hamilton, and Baumbach's wife and frequent creative collaborator, Greta Gerwig. Online scuttlebutt — or wishful thinking — has suggested Jay Kelly is a showcase for Sandler in a supporting role and could be his ticket to long-deserved Academy recognition.
Baumbach's previous Netflix movie was the polarizing White Noise, an adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel of the same name.
Expect Jay Kelly to play a significant role in the fall festival season, particularly with that release date.
