Brent Lang Executive Editor It’s not all superheroes, all the time. Studios are still willing to take a few bets on directors with compelling visions, hoping that they can offer up something distinctive and compelling at a time when multiplexes are filled with more of the same. So give Sony Pictures credit for backing not one, but two of these riskier projects — Darren Aronofsky‘s “Caught Stealing” and Kogonada’s “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.” The former is a crime thriller about a former baseball player (Austin Butler) who gets caught up in New York City’s underworld in the 1990s, while the latter is a romantic fantasy that follows two middle aged people who step through a magical portal into their past lives.

Edgar-Jones joked that she’s basically “worked with all of the internet’s boyfriends,” so much so that she’s just got “Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler left.” “I’m lucky that every actor I’ve worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead,” she added on a more serious note.
