Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing looks like one for the Baby Driver fans


If you got a kick out of Baby Driver, there’s a very good chance you’re going to be into Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming black comedy / thriller, Caught Stealing.
Adapted from Charlie Huston’s 2005 novel of the same name, Caught Stealing tells the wild take of Hank Thompson (Austin Butler), a former high school baseball prodigy whose dreams of going pro came to an end following a career-ending injury. Though life hasn’t worked out the way Hank expected, things seem to be going pretty well for him in the movie’s new trailer. Hank’s girlfriend Yvonne (Zoë Kravitz) loves him, he’s got a solid job working as a bartender, and his eccentric neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) tends to keep to himself.
But when Hank agrees to watch Russ’ cat, he doesn’t realize that he’s putting himself at risk of dealing with some of his neighbor’s shady business partners. And it isn’t long before Hank finds himself having to run from and fight off members of multiple crime syndicates. Compared to the novel, Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing looks like it’s going to be a bit more of a high-octane thrill ride, tonally speaking. With Huston writing the film’s script as well, the new adaptation probably won’t veer all that far away from its source material. But we won’t know until Caught Stealing hits theaters on August 29th.
