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 Stealing hails 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.

Piper Perabo celebrates 25 years of 'Coyote Ugly' with throwback photo
Piper Perabo is celebrating the 25th anniversary of " Coyote Ugly." The actress took to Instagram and shared a series of stills from the film, including a group shot with her, Bridget Moynahan, Tyra Banks, Isabella Miko and Maria Bello. "25 years ago today #CoyoteUgly opened in theaters," she wrote. "Sending love to everyone who ever danced on a bar, followed their dreams, or just likes a wild song." She also shared photos with Melanie Lynskey and Leanne Rimes, who sings the film's anthem, "Can't Fight The Moonlight," which was penned by Dianne Warren. Perabo portrayed Violet Sanford in the hit 2000 film, an aspiring songwriter who moves to New York and works at the Coyote Ugly bar. The film also starred Adam Garcia and John Goodman. At San Diego Comic-Con last month, Perabo told The Hollywood Reporter that "there has been some discussion" about a "Coyote Ugly" sequel. "Some things are being discussed," she said. "I can't really say, but people that were doing it are talking about some stuff."

Google mocks Apple's delayed AI features in new 'coming soon' ad
To tease its new phone, Google dunked on Apple — and soundtracked it to Snoop Dogg. In a new advertisement for the coming Pixel 10 smartphone, Google took a shot at Apple's delayed launch of its AI features. Apple announced an overhauled, "more personalized" Siri powered by Apple Intelligence at the Worldwide Developers Conference in 2024, but has yet to roll the feature out. "If you buy a new phone because of a feature that's 'coming soon,' but it's been 'coming soon' for a full year, you could change your definition of 'soon' — or you could just change your phone," the ad's narrator said. The ad then flashed the text, "Ask more of your phone," along with the launch date of August 20. With the camera roving up and down the sides of a jet black phone, Google's ad evoked the sleek futurism of previous Apple campaigns. The company soundtracked its ad to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "The Next Episode." Neither Apple nor Google responded to requests for comment. Apple launched its official AI bid, a suite of features called Apple Intelligence, in 2024. Some of the features announced at WWDC were included in iOS 18, which launched that September. Others, like the Siri integrations for Apple Intelligence, never came. In March, Apple officially announced that it was delaying the Siri overhaul, a rarity for the company. "It's going to take us longer than we thought to deliver on these features and we anticipate rolling them out in the coming year," spokesperson Jacqueline Roy told the unaffiliated Apple blog Daring Fireball at the time. Apple also made a YouTube ad private that showed Bella Ramsey using the still unreleased Siri features. Apple is now facing a lawsuit over how it advertised the AI features on the iPhone 16. CEO Tim Cook gave a status update on the overhauled Siri during Apple's earnings call last week. "We're making good progress on a more personalized Siri, and we do expect to release the features next year," Cook said.

This summer, nothing beats a Jet2 holiday when it comes to viral trends
A travel advertisement for a low-cost British airline has unintentionally become the trending sound of summer 2025, with millions of social media users setting videos to the "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" audio clip. Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday trend explained Whether a self-described chronically online person or a passive social media scroller, chances are that in the last couple of months, you've heard said catchphrase uttered over upbeat music by London pop star Jess Glynne. With millions of videos on TikTok alone posted by delayed travelers and famous actors alike, the popular voiceover from Zoë Lister saying "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" over the hit song "Hold My Hand" has a firm grip on the internet. The catchy tune has been featured in the Leeds-based carrier and tour operator's advertisements since 2015 and serves as the boarding music over the PA system on Jet2 flights. It's also the anchor audio behind Lister's now-viral script that promotes discounts for family travel, boasting deep savings of "50 pounds off per person" and up to "200 pounds for a family of four." Last month, Glynne and Lister met up in real life for the first time at the UK's No.1 music station, Capital FM, to reenact their viral sound. Social media has collectively decided to use the viral audio to show off funny travel woes and epic fail videos, like getting dunked into the sea while parasailing or tourists getting knocked over by massive waves at a waterpark. Jeff Goldblum goes viral with Jet2 holiday trend The actor joined in on the TikTok fun with a spin on the script, swapping Jet2 for his own name and performing the voiceover timed perfectly to the song. Nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday by the numbers on Google and TikTok The audio began garnering mass attention on TikTok in April when Jet2 posted a contest for fans to lip sync the audio and a chance to win airfare vouchers. Since its rise to viral fame online, various iterations of the audio have been made, with more than 1.4 million videos posted with the original sound, according to TikTok data. And last month, according to Google Trends data, Jet2 holidays reached an all-time high interest with "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" and "Jet2 holiday song" becoming top breakout searches in the lifestyle category for July 2025.
