Darren Aronofsky usually puts movie fans through the emotional ringer with his movies. But when the director presented the first footage of his 2025 new movie, Caught Stealing starring Austin Butler, to attendees at CinemaCon 2025, he said that he wanted to try something different: “I wanted to do something that was, simply put, a lot of fun.”
That something fun is the crime thriller comedy Caught Stealing, which heads back to 1990s New York City and sees Butler have to deal with a group of seedy individuals from the city’s criminal underbelly. What, were you expecting a straight comedy from Aronofsky?
