Javier Bardem has started filming his new Apple TV+ project.

The 56-year-old Oscar-winning actor left his trailer and headed to set of the upcoming Cape Fear reboot series on Thursday (May 8) in Atlanta, Georgia.

Also seen on set were Javier‘s co-stars Patrick Wilson, Amy Adams, and Anna Baryshnikov.

Here’s the series’ official logline via Variety: “A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Amanda and Steve Bowden when Max Cady (Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.”

Nick Antosca will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner while Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese will also executive produce.

The series is based on both John D. MacDonald‘s novel The Executioners, which inspired Gregory Peck’s 1962 movie Cape Fear, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Scorsese and produced by Spielberg, which starred Robert De Niro and Nick Nolte.

Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema has debuted a teaser trailer for the upcoming supernatural horror ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites.’

Though The Conjuring Universe will continue with "Phase 2", September's The Conjuring: Last Rites is being marketed as the final instalment in the main series of movies that began back in 2013 with James Wan's original supernatural shocker.

This time, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are convinced to come out of retirement to look into the infamous Smurl family haunting.

"It is one of the more Googleable ones," producer Peter Safran tells EW. "It really fit the bill for us, being able to lean into something that audiences could go and Google after the movie. 'Oh! They really did have that many children.' 'Oh! They really were this age, and the grandparents really were there.' All of that stuff has always been meaningful to us."

"It's the end of the story with Patrick and Vera as Ed and Lorraine," he adds. "It doesn't...

New Line Cinema has released the first teaser trailer and poster for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the ninth instalment in the long-running supernatural franchise. Directed by Michael Chaves, the film reunites Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, in what is expected to be their final outing. The film will be released in UK cinemas on 5 September 2025.

The teaser offers a brief but atmospheric glimpse into what appears to be a more personal chapter in the franchise, as the Warrens’ daughter Judy (played by The Serpent Queen‘s Mia Tomlinson) and her boyfriend Tony (Ben Hardy) become drawn into the supernatural events unfolding. Further casting includes returning franchise actor Steve Coulter as Father Gordon, alongside Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton, and Shannon Kook.

The final chapter in The Conjuring franchise should’ve been a victory lap for both fans and the filmmakers. Instead, it feels more like another flat tire on a haunted tricycle. Warner Bros. just dropped the first trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, and while it’s cool seeing Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga back as the loving couple Ed and Lorraine Warren, fans couldn’t help but ask one very important question: Why didn’t James Wan direct The Conjuring: Last Rites? Seriously. Why isn’t the guy who made this franchise scary again behind the camera? Instead, we’re getting Michael Chaves—again. You remember him, right? The director of The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (aka the weakest entry of the franchise) and The Curse of La Llorona (aka let’s pretend it never happened). Chaves is back to helm the Warrens’ swan song, and...

It’s the end of the era with the upcoming arrival of The Conjuring: Last Rites. The first two-minute teaser is incredibly disturbing and seems to signal that phase one of the franchise is going out with a horrifying bang.

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren for likely the last time. Mia Tomlinson plays Judy Warren, Ben Hardy is Tony Spera, and Steve Coulter is Father Gordon. The cast also includes Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton, and Shannon Kook.

James Wan directed the first two The Conjuring films, and Michael Chaves directed 2021’s The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Chaves returns to direct this ninth entry overall in the franchise. Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick wrote the screenplay, with Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Natalia Safran, John Rickard, Hans Ritter, and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick executive producing.

The Warrens are back for their last case.

Warner Bros. released the first official trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites on Thursday, which marks the fourth and final Conjuring movie. However, it’s not necessarily the last in the franchise.

This Conjuring film, like the others, is inspired by the real-life case files of paranormal investigators and couple, Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga). This time, it follows the 1986 Smurl case, a family who was tormented by a demon for more than a decade.

“Every case is different. Every family is different. Once we start, there is no going back. Anything can happen. And most likely, anything will,” Ed says in the trailer.

Lorraine hints at this one being the most dangerous as she says “something’s different” to Ed. At the end of the trailer, a demon says to Lorraine: “We’ve been waiting so patiently so patiently for you,...

The Conjuring: Last Rites gets a new tease from director Michael Chaves and star Vera Farmiga, who hype a coming demon vendetta. After the franchise first got its start back in 2013 with The Conjuring, the horror universe has expanded with numerous sequels and spinoffs, many of which follow Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Farmiga), a husband-and-wife team of paranormal investigators. The Ed and Lorraine saga is now set to come to an end with the release of The Conjuring: Last Rites, which pits the pair against mysterious entities in one last case.

EW now shares a new video promoting the upcoming film, with Chaves and Farmiga taking viewers behind-the-scenes of The Conjuring: Last Rites. In the video, Chaves hypes the Smurl case as "the darkest thing we've ever seen in the series." Franchise producer Peter Safran then discusses where Ed and Lorraine are at in the new installment, revealing...

It's officially the beginning of the end for our favorite power couple of demonologists in the highly-successful "The Conjuring" universe. Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga for well over a decade since 2013's "The Conjuring," are finally wrapping up their tenure as the face of horror's long-running franchise. We only just received our first glimpse at "The Conjuring: Last Rites," but hearing about the grand finale to the main storyline of demon hunters is one thing -- seeing it is quite another.

Warner Bros. has released the first official teaser for "Last Rites," and it certainly feels like the culmination we've been building towards all along. A brief tour of the Warrens' familiar trophy room (which is filled with all manner of haunted items), a reminder of all the foes they've vanquished (or simply narrowly survived) over the years, and a reminder that there are...

Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and the upcoming release of The Conjuring: Last Rites marks the end of an era. The fourth entry in The Conjuring series will supposedly be the last, meaning this is the last we’ll see of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as our favorite horror superheroes. Ahead of its September release, Warner Bros. has released the first official teaser to give us a taste of the final chapter in the Warrens’ cinematic journey.

Michael Chaves returns to direct The Conjuring: Last Rites, which chronicles the Warrens’ infamous Smurl case from 1986.

Watch the teaser below:

Farmiga and Wilson star alongside Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, Steve Coulter, Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton, and Shannon Kook.

Chaves directs from a screenplay by Ian Goldberg & Richard Naing and David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and a story by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick & James Wan.

"Something's changed... Something's different..." Warner Bros has unveiled the first teaser trailer for the horror sequel called The Conjuring: Last Rites, the fourth The Conjuring horror movie in this horror franchise created by James Wan. Set to scare everyone in theaters this September. "Last Case. Last Rites." Paranormal investigators, Ed & Lorraine Warren take on their must disturbing case to date. Jack & Janet Smurl and their family, move into a brand new home they've dreamed of, which became a nightmare as their home begins show signs of demonic infestation. On more freaky story with The Warrens and their family. Vera Farmiga & Patrick Wilson return to co-star alongside Mia Tomlinson and Ben Hardy, who portray Ed and Lorraine’s daughter Judy Warren and her boyfriend, Tony Spera, as well as Steve Coulter returning as Father Gordon. The cast also includes Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, John Brotherton, and Shannon Kook.

The Conjuring film franchise is set to come to an end with the fourth installment, The Conjuring: Last Rites, which Warner Bros. has scheduled for a theatrical release on September 5, 2025 release – and with that date now just a few months away, a teaser trailer has dropped online. You can check it out in the embed above.

Up until this week, we didn’t have any plot info on The Conjuring: Last Rites, but Entertainment Weekly was finally able to draw some information out of the filmmakers. They shared that the film is set in 1986, five years after the events of The Devil Made Me Do It. The Warrens have retired from the exorcist business, largely due to Ed’s heart attack, the one sustained during the demonic happenings of the third film. They still hit the university circuit, presenting talks at various schools, but even those opportunities are drying up.

Ed and Lorraine Warren have one final case to crack in the iconic “The Conjuring” franchise. The paranormal investigating duo, portrayed by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, first appeared onscreen in 2013; now 12 years and a slew of spinoff films later, the original “The Conjuring” will close out with “The Conjuring: The Last Rites.”

Michael Chaves returns to direct “The Last Rites.” In total, the franchise has three “Conjuring” films, three “Annabelle” features, two “Nun” movies, and “The Curse of La Llorona.” Chaves helmed “La Llorona,” “The Nun II,” and “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.” A “Conjuring” series is in development at Max as well.

“The Last Rites” is set in the mid-1980s when the Warrens were retired. However, the couple returns for one last case involving the Smurl family. The Warrens most famously investigated the 1976 hauntings in Amityville, New York, which inspired the “Amityville Horror” franchise.

The Warrens are back for one last fright.

The official trailer for “The Conjuring: Last Rites” shows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) back in action as they tackle another frightening case. This time, Wilson and Farmiga are joined by Ben Hardy (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Mia Tomlinson (“The Beast Must Die”), who are new to the franchise.

While the first two “Conjuring” movies were helmed by James Wan, both “The Devil Made Me Do It” and “Last Rites” feature Michael Chaves in the director’s chair. He has also directed other films in the “Conjuring” universe, including “The Curse of La Llorona” and “The Nun II.” The screenplay for “Last Rites” was written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, who shares a story credit with Wan.

“The Conjuring” movies are loosely based on real-life cases that the Warrens investigated in their career, with the sequel taking on the Enfield Poltergeist in London.

“Discover why this case was their last.” That’s the compelling hook for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the final film in the franchise starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson.

The trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites has arrived. The new movie is the fourth installment in the flagship horror movie franchise, which has also launched the spinoff franchises Annabelle and The Nun. The upcoming Conjuring: Last Rites, which is set to be the final installment following demonologists Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), was directed by Michael Chaves, who previously helmed 2021's The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, 2023's The Nun II, and the 2019 movie The Curse of La Llorona, which takes place in the same universe.

Warner Bros.has now unveiled the official trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites. The trailer opens with Ed Warren giving a tour of their room of cursed artifacts, which includes the painting of the nun demon Valak, as well as the glass case containing the possessed doll Annabelle. After reflecting on their past work, which Ed estimates includes roughly 1,000 cases,...

The fourth (and supposedly final) film in The Conjuring series started with the 2013 movie is supposedly coming to an end with The Conjuring: Last Rites, due in theaters this September. But while the mainline movies centering around demonologist couple Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) Warren might be coming to an end, that doesn't mean the overarching The Conjuring Universe is finished.

In fact, I'd imagine the billion dollar-grossing franchise still has a lot of life left in it, with New Line Cinema head Richard Brenner even calling Last Rites simply the end of "Phase One." James Wan, who directed the first two movies, recently provided an update on at least one potential future film, a spinoff centering on the Crooked Man introduced in The Conjuring 2.

Chatting with Entertainment Weekly as part of the outlet's in-depth Last Rites profile, Wan mentioned his hopes that a movie about The...

If you think you’re prepared for the final Conjuring movie, then think again. In a recent spine-chilling featurette from Warner Bros., Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson revealed that The Conjuring: Last Rite is about to drag you into the Warrens’ darkest, scariest case yet. Well, way worse than Bathsheba’s creepy claps or the Crooked Man’s spooky rhymes.

This time, Ed and Lorraine Warren are set to face a demon that’s not just evil—it’s personal. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return for one final showdown that takes us straight into the nightmare of the Smurl haunting, set in 1986. It’s the fourth and final chapter in a terrifying saga that began way back in 1971. So get ready—Last Rite is here to make you believe in fear, once again.

Renowned for its chilling portrayal of real-life paranormal investigations by Ed and Lorraine Warren, the Conjuring franchise is set to return with its fourth installment. Scheduled to release this September, Conjuring 4 would delve into one of Warren’s most harrowing cases, the Smurl family haunting.

The Warrens’ investigation into this case revealed a complex haunting involving multiple spirits. As The Conjuring: Last Rites brings this terrifying true story to the big screen, audiences can expect a deeply personal and emotionally charged narrative that promises to be the darkest chapter in the series yet.

The upcoming fourth installment, The Conjuring: Last Rites, continues the tradition...

The Conjuring franchise has been quite the success for Warner Bros., but Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) will be calling it quits with The Conjuring: Last Rites. As this will likely be the last we see of the Warrens, The Conjuring producer Peter Safran told Entertainment Weekly that they “toyed with the idea” of going all out with an Avengers-style finale that would have included every demon they’ve fought throughout the series.

“When we were developing the movie, we always called it Conjuring: Endgame because it was a culmination of a great story that audiences had been with,” Safran said. “I’m not saying that our movie is the same as the Avengers: Endgame run of movies, but there was something about building an audience through this storytelling mechanism, through Ed and Lorraine Warren. Knowing that Last Rites was going to be the last one made...

Patrick Wilson is staying in shape amid production on his upcoming Apple TV+ series Cape Fear.

The 51-year-old actor was seen in his sweaty gym clothes while leaving a nighttime workout session on Monday night (May 5) in Atlanta, Ga.

Patrick is starring alongside Amy Adams and Javier Bardem in a 10-episode series adaptation of Cape Fear.

Here’s the synopsis: “A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when Max Cady (Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison.”

The new show will be written and showrun by Nick Antosca and executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.

Patrick was seen going shirtless during a pool day in Italy last year with wife Dagmara Dominczyk, who is best known for her work on Succession.

After more than 10 years and three films in the main saga, Ed and Lorraine Warren will finally hang up their crucifixes with The Conjuring: Last Rites, which is set to hit theaters this September. Once again starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, we now have our first look at the fourth and final film, which is directed by Michael Chaves and sees James Wan return as producer.

A behind-the-scenes featurette was shared on social media yesterday (seen below), showcasing a little of what we can expect to see when the Warrens return on September 5. It took us through the timeline of their cases to reveal that the final film takes place in 1986, and for Wan, he calls it a bittersweet ending to a long chapter in his life:

"The Conjuring: Last Rites is, for me, pretty much the end of an era. It is bittersweet, but all good things come to an end.

Over the course of twelve years, a Conjuring trilogy, an Annabelle trilogy, and a couple of _Nun_s, Australian filmmaker James Wan has presided over one of the biggest — and best — horror franchises in modern cinema. Now, The Conjuring Universe — and, more specifically, The Devil Made Me Do It director Michael Chaves — is set to come full circle as Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga prepare to play everybody's favourite paranormal investigator spouses Ed and Lorraine Warren one last time in The Conjuring: Last Rites. Details on the Conjuring fourquel have been thin on the ground until now, but a newly released featurette for the movie promises The Warrens' final chapter will also be their darkest yet. Check it out below;

As producer James Wan kicks off this new teaser by saying, The Conjuring: Last Rites represents "the end of an era" for his Tcu — and as such, the ante is...

As the fourth and final Conjuring film, directed once again by Michael Chaves, Wilson and Farmiga will reprise their roles as paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they take on their last case. The Conjuring: Last Rites cast also includes Mia Tomlinson, Ben Hardy, Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Beau Gadsdon, Tilly Walker, Molly Cartwright, Peter Wight, and Kate Fahy.

Now, via Entertainment Weekly, a total of eight first-look images from The Conjuring: Last Rites were revealed. The images show Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren, along with several flashbacks to a young Ed and Lorraine, played by Orion Smith and Madison Lawlor.

Mia Tomlinson's Judy Warren was also revealed; Ed and Lorraine's daughter, who was played by Sterling Jerins and Mckenna Grace in previous movies.

Up until today,...

The Conjuring Universe is one of the most unique horror franchises to ever exist. While most horror properties take the form of numerous sequels, remakes, reboots, and requels, the "Conjuring" series is the first to adopt the model made famous by the Marvel Cinematic Universe: a "main" franchise supported by several smaller ones in its orbit. Thus, we have the three "Conjuring" films, the three "Annabelle" pictures, the two "Nun" movies, and (depending on who you're talking to) the outlier, "The Curse of La Llorona." Ironically, the "Conjuring" property also adopted the growing pains that the MCU experienced in its early days, for while there was a general set path for each — in Marvel's case, it was decades of comic book lore, and for the "Conjuring," it was the real-life exploits of demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren — there wasn't exactly a rigid plan, either.

Thus, while the three main "Conjuring...

Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga investigate a new haunting in The Conjuring: Last Rites, their final run in the franchise. Director Michael Chaves recently revealed that the film almost became a culminating event for their characters.

Chaves almost fulfilled one fan theory about The Conjuring: Last Rites, which would have seen Ed and Lorraine Warren taking on a gauntlet of previously vanquished evils. That would have been an epic battle, a fitting wrap-up to Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga's run in the saga. "Even as we were developing it, we were throwing a bunch of ideas out," Chaves told Entertainment Weekly. "How shamelessly big can we make it? How epic can we make it? Is this the culmination of all the demons coming to face them?"

One of the pitched ideas involved multiple portals simultaneously materializing, allowing every entity in The Conjuring universe to cross over. As tempting as that seemed,...

This fall will see the release of "The Conjuring: Last Rites," which will be the final go around for Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Ed and Lorraine Warren. But this is still a universe full of demons and supernatural forces that need dealing with, with or without the Warrens. Hence, if franchise overseer James Wan has his way, one particularly nightmarish monster may yet get his day in the sun as the subject of a spin-off movie.

In a preview piece from the folks at Entertainment Weekly, Wan, who directed the original blockbuster smash "The Conjuring" that started the property as we know it, explained that he still has a desire to make the "Crooked Man" movie that was planned several years back but never materialized. The creature in question first appeared in 2016's "The Conjuring 2," and while other supernatural beings such as "Annabelle" and "The Nun" have received multiple films,...

Martin Scorsese is rebooting one of his classics for Apple TV+. The fan-favorite director's Oscar-nominated 1991 neo-noir psychological thriller Cape Fear is heading to television, with its cast slowly coming together.

According to Deadline, three more actors have boarded Apple's Cape Fear series, which will be headlined by Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson. Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding), Jamie Hector (Bosch), and Clara Wong (Billions) have been cast in undisclosed roles. The trio joins an ensemble that includes Javier Bardem and Cch Pounder. Nick Antosca is writing and serving as showrunner on Cape Fear, with Scorsese and Steven Spielberg attached as executive producers.

Apple's Cape Fear will be based on John D. MacDonald's 1957 novel The Executioners as well as Scorsese's 1991 movie. The 10-episode series will mark the third time The Executioners has been adapted for the screen, with a 1962 movie starring Gregory Peck also having been made. In the upcoming series,...

As far as true stories go, the "Conjuring" franchise has always played rather fast and loose with history. Ed and Lorraine Warren, the married demonologist couple played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, are based on actual people who really embarked on paranormal exorcisms -- though the actions of the real Warrens, both of whom have since passed away, were perhaps a bit more controversial than the movies would have you think. Most (if not all) of the cases at the center of each "Conjuring" movie and spinoff are similarly taken from true accountings ... though, obviously, franchise architect James Wan and the filmmakers that have followed in his footsteps always spice things up for a worthy big screen experience. The horror property is now set to come to a close with the fourth mainline film, this year's "The Conjuring: Last Rites," but the plot of the upcoming sequel might be the most true-to-life one yet.

Exclusive: Apple’s Cape Fear series has three new additions: Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding), Jamie Hector (Bosch), and Clara Wong (Billions).

Character details are under wraps. As previously announced, Javier Bardem, Amy Adams, Patrick Wilson and Cch Pounder are also set.

In Cape Fear — created, written, and showrun by Nick Antosca — a storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when Max Cady (Bardem), a notorious killer from their past, gets out of prison. The 10-episode series is a tense, Hitchcockian thriller and an examination of America’s obsession with true crime in the 21st century.

Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, the show is based on both the novel The Executioners, which inspired Gregory Peck’s 1962 film for Universal, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese, who’s among the executive producers here.

Co-stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are bidding farewell to their "arranged marriage" in The Conjuring universe. Last Rites will be an epilogue to their story, but they teased that the Warrens also face a reckoning in their final case.

Vera Farmiga teased that something from their past will haunt the Warrens in The Conjuring: Last Rites. "[The audience is] going to witness a moment in the Warrens' lives — and a pretty profound moment," she told Entertainment Weekly. "It's a moment that makes time stand still. This one's different than the others. The other three [Conjuring films] were about hauntings, and this one is about reckoning, in a way." That could reference a previous case or an unrevealed backstory, she didn't elaborate.

One thing's for sure: Last Rites will be Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga's final run in the Conjuring universe. Executive producer Peter Safran confirmed as much, but teased the Warrens could return in future installments.

Netflix is doubling down on Adam Sandler movies in 2025. Roughly four months after Happy Gilmore 2 drops onto the streamer, fans of the comedic actor will be able to watch the comedy-drama Jay Kelly, in which Sandler stars alongside George Clooney.

Per Deadline, Netflix has announced the release dates for Jay Kelly. The coming-of-age comedy-drama by writer-director Noah Baumbach will have a limited run in theaters beginning Nov. 14, 2025, before being added to the streaming service a couple of weeks later on Dec. 5, 2025. Plot details remain largely under wraps for Jay Kelly, with the logline merely stating, "Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn't know himself." Netflix has unveiled a first-look still of Clooney as the title character, which can be viewed below.

Described as a "heartbreaking comedy," Jay Kelly marks Baumbach's fourth outing with Netflix, following 2017's The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), 2019's Marriage Story,...

While The Conjuring: Last Rites won’t necessarily mark the end of the franchise – rather, it’s said to be the ending of the universe’s “phase one” – this year’s upcoming sequel will (allegedly) mark the final Conjuring movie to star Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren. And Entertainment Weekly brings us the first images today.

Director Michael Chaves tells EW, “Even as we were developing it, we were throwing a bunch of ideas out: ‘How shamelessly big can we make it?’ ‘How epic can we make it?’ ‘Is this the culmination of all the demons coming to face them?'” But ultimately, he notes, “I felt strongly that the biggest, most emotional story we could tell was the most personal story.”

Patrick Wilson teases in the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, “The third film was kind of a detour. It was more a murder mystery,...

A little over a year ago, it was reported that Noah Baumbach has been tapped to helm his fourth project with Netflix after Marriage Story, White Noise and The Meyerowitz Stories. Plot details are still kept under wraps and it was only this past January that Netflix revealed the title of the film will be Jay Kelly. Baumbach directs the film from a screenplay written by him and the movie’s co-star, Emily Mortimer. Baumbach reunites with his Meyerowitz Stories star Adam Sandler and pairs him up with George Clooney. Netflix continues to dole out the details of the film little by little and today, we are treated to a single image of the film. Take a gander below.

Noah Baumbach is getting back in the awards race, and he’s bringing a star-studded cast including George Clooney and Adam Sandler.

Netflix has announced that Baumbach’s upcoming feature “Jay Kelly” will open in theaters on November 14 before hitting the streaming service on December 5. The announcement was accompanied by a photo of Clooney, who plays the title character, walking past a poster of himself.

“Jay Kelly” appears to be a return to the familiar territory of middle aged neuroses for Baumbach, following the apocalyptic ambition of his previous feature, “White Noise.” While little is known about the film’s plot, it is believed to center around the relationship between Clooney’s eponymous character and a longtime friend played by Sandler. A cryptic official synopsis reads “Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn’t know himself.”

Fargo wrapped up with its final season last year, and the show has seen many movie and TV veterans come and go through its five-season run. One of the stars from the first and second seasons of Fargo was Allison Tolman, famed for her role as Molly Solverson. Unlike many other TV shows, Fargo brings in a mostly new cast each season to tell a new story, with names like Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, and Jason Schwartzman all coming and going over the years. Tolman never came back after Season 2, but we now know this wasn’t due to a lack of interest. During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Tolman was asked about her time on Fargo, and she spoke about it fondly but also recalled how difficult it was to stand on the sidelines after departing the show:
