Austin Butler to Lead Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Caught Stealing’ at Sony


Sony Pictures has acquired Darren Aronofsky’s crime thriller "Caught Stealing," which will star Austin Butler.

The film follows Hank Thompson, a burned-out former baseball player, as he’s unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ‘90s NYC. I can’t wait to start working with Austin and my family of NYC filmmakers,” said Oscar-nominated director Aronofsky, whose credits include “The Whale,” “Requiem for a Dream” and “Black Swan.” Butler was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor of his starring role in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” He is can currently be seen in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic “Dune: Part 2” and in Apple TV’s miniseries“Masters of Air.” Up next, Butler will star in Jeff Nichols’ “The Bikeriders” and Sony’s 3000 Pictures film adaptation of “City on Fire,” which he will also produce with David Heyman and Shane Salerno.
