Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz Heat Up Trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s Crime Thriller ‘Caught Stealing’ (2025)

Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz find themselves sliding toward trouble in the trailer for the crime movie Caught Stealing.

Sony Pictures is set to release Darren Aronofsky‘s thriller feature in theaters Aug. 29. Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Bad Bunny, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Griffin Dunne, Carol Kane, Regina King and Vincent D’Onofrio round out the cast.

Caught Stealing stars Butler as Hank Thompson, a down-on-his-luck former baseball player who is suddenly immersed in the New York City crime underworld in the late 1990s.

Aronofsky helmed the film from a script by Charlie Huston, who wrote the books on which the movie is based. Caught Stealinghails from Protozoa and counts Aronofsky, Jeremy Dawson, Dylan Golden and Ari Handel as producers.

Butler’s recent projects include the features Dune: Part Two and The Bikeriders and the series Masters of the Air. He can soon be seen in Ari Aster’s Eddington, which screened at Cannes this month and also stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal and Emma Stone.

Aronofsky most recently directed the 2022 drama The Whale, which won two Oscars, including best actor for star Brendan Fraser. Among the latter’s competition in the category was Butler’s performance for Elvis.

During Sony’s presentation at CinemaCon earlier this year, Aronofsky debuted Caught Stealing’s first footage and teased the film as “something different.” He added, “I wanted to do something that was a lot of fun.”

Aronofsky noted that he shot the project in NYC and called the movie “a true love letter to the greatest city in the world,” which also happens to be the filmmaker’s hometown.
