Two of the biggest movie stars of the last 30 years, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, are teaming up for what is sure to become one of the most anticipated new movies of 2024, Wolfs.
The pair famously starred alongside each other in the trilogy of Ocean's movies (Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen), as well as the Coen Brothers movie Burn After Reading. Neither Clooney or Pitt star in movies as frequently as they used to, so fans of the two stars are going to be eagerly awaiting this one.
Let's not waste anymore of your time in dive into everything you need to know about Wolfs right here.
Wolfs release date
Wolfs has been set for a September 20 release exclusively in movie theaters in the US and UK.
That exclusive run will last for one week before the movie premieres on the Apple TV Plus streaming service on September 27.
With a fall release date, there's also a good chance that Wolfs could play some of the major fall festivals and be positioned for an Oscar run based on its reception, though nothing has been announced at this time.
Wolfs cast
The headliners of the Wolfs cast are of course Clooney and Pitt. The Oscar-winners (Syriana for Clooney, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for Pitt) are two of the most iconic movie stars of recent memory, though is the first time that they are physically appearing in starring roles in a movie since 2022; they both are credited as voice actors in the 2024 movie IF. This also marks the first time that we'll see them together, in the flesh, on screen since 2008's Burn After Reading.
But Clooney and Pitt are not alone in the movie. Other members of the Wolfs cast includes Amy Ryan (Sugar, Only Murders in the Building), Austin Abrams (Euphoria, Do Revenge) and Poorna Jagannathan (Never Have I Ever, The Night Of).
Wolfs plot
With a script written by Jon Watts, here is the official synopsis for Wolfs:
"Global superstars George Clooney and Brad Pitt team up for the action comedy Wolfs. Clooney plays a professional fixer hired to cover up a high profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two 'lone wolves' are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected."
While we wait to see how all of that plays out in Wolfs, we know that the story is going to continue, as Apple has already greenlit a sequel to the movie.
Wolfs trailer
As promised, the Wolfs official trailer premiered on May 29, putting Clooney and Pitt's lone-wolf fixers as reluctant partners as they try to unravel a conspiracy. Watch the trailer (as well as the previously released teaser trailer) directly below:
