James Gray is set to direct Paper Tiger, featuring an impressive cast that includes Adam Driver, Jeremy Strong, and Anne Hathaway. This domestic crime drama, initially announced earlier, is now accelerating into production, with reports indicating that filming will begin in April in New Jersey. While there are questions about Hathaway's schedule due to her involvement in Christopher Nolan's project — potentially suggesting a smaller role — anticipation remains high.
Paper Tiger tells the story of two brothers chasing the American Dream, only to find themselves ensnared in a seemingly perfect yet disastrous scheme. As they become embroiled in a world rife with corruption and violence, their lives — and those of their family — are threatened by the ruthless Russian "Mafiya," creating tension and the risk of betrayal among them.
Based on Gray’s original screenplay, the film marks a reunion between the director and stars Hathaway and Strong from Armageddon Time. For Driver, this will be his first collaboration with Gray, adding to his impressive roster of partnerships with acclaimed filmmakers.
