George Clooney is Jay Kelly. Noah Baumbach’s coming-of-age comedy-drama will be released in cinemas before streaming on Netflix.
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Noah Baumbach is teaming up with George Clooney and Adam Sandler for Jay Kelly, a new, heartbreaking comedy coming to Netflix this fall. The film will open in cinemas on November 14th before streaming on Netflix on December 5th.
Baumbach previously wrote and directed The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), Marriage Story, and White Noise for Netflix. His prior work includes The Squid and the Whale, Greenberg, Margot at the Wedding, Frances Ha, and Mistress America. He also co-wrote the Oscar-nominated script for Barbie. Jay Kelly is co-written by actor Emily Mortimer (who previously wrote episodes of Doll & Em and The Pursuit of Love and will also appear in the film) and produced by David Heyman and Amy Pascal.
PREMISE
It’s a heartbreaking comedy. Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn’t know himself.
Jay Kelly stars Oscar winner George Clooney, who most recently starred in Ticket to Paradise and The Midnight Sky (which he also directed). He can currently be seen on Broadway in his Tony-nominated performance in Good Night, and Good Luck. You might also recognise him from (deep breath) Ocean’s Eleven. Michael Clayton. O Brother, Where Art Thou?. The Descendants. Up in the Air. Gravity, Burn After Reading. Hail, Caesar!. Out of Sight. Solaris, Syriana, and many more.
The film co-stars Adam Sandler, the prolific comedian and actor who will star in the much-anticipated Happy Gilmore 2 this July. Sandler moves from comedy to drama with ease, which is evident in his work in Hustle, Uncut Gems, Meyerowitz Stories, Punch-Drunk Love, and Murder Mystery, among others.
