A former baseball player, a bat, Russian gangsters… Darren Aronofsky makes his return to the thriller genre with Caught Stealing, a brutal, hallucinatory thriller adapted from Charlie Huston<\/em>‘s cult novel. With its wild battles and urban paranoia, the film promises to be a cinematic bomb. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Austin Butler in a survivor’s role<\/h2>\n\n

Set to hit theaters on August 27, 2025<\/em>, Caught Stealing<\/strong> stars Hank Thompson<\/em>, an ex-baseball player turned bartender in the Lower East Side of the ’90s<\/strong>. One night, he finds himself at the center of a mafia spiral after being beaten up by two Russians in tracksuits. On screen, Austin Butler<\/strong> – propelled to worldwide stardom with Elvis<\/em> – plays this borderline character. And according to the first images revealed at CinemaCon<\/strong>, he’s unrecognizable, raging and magnetic. <\/p>\n\n
