To capture the vibe of the upcoming Sony Pictures film CAUGHT STEALING, street artist Swoon crafted movie posters hyping its August 29 theatrical release date. Caught Stealing is directed by Academy Award® nominee Darren Aronofsky and is based on Charlie Huston's book of the same name. The film stars Austin Butler, Regina King, Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Griffin Dunne, Benito Martínez Ocasio, and Carol Kane.
"I reached out to the legendary SWOON—who was pasting NYC walls during the exact era CAUGHT STEALING unfolds—to create posters for the film", commented Aronofsky to ageekdaddy.com. "Watching her work unleashed that same electric rush I’d get stumbling across fresh pieces tucked into forgotten alleys and dead-end streets of NYC in the 90s. That pulse quickening thrill of discovery, when you turn a corner and find something brilliant burning on a brick wall nobody else has noticed yet—that’s what I hope these posters summon."
Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant. When his punk-rock neighbor Russ (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, Hank suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him; the problem is he has no idea why. As Hank attempts to evade their ever-tightening grip, he’s got to use all his hustle to stay alive long enough to find out.
The film has not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association of America [MPAA]. Have any promotions for this film caught your attention yet? Has your interest been piqued to go see it?
