Coming first to select theaters on November 14 and streaming globally on Netflix December 5, JAY KELLY brings together an all-star cast — George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and Billy Crudup — under the sharp, heartfelt direction of Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story, The Meyerowitz Stories).
The film follows Jay Kelly (Clooney), a famous movie actor whose career has defined him for decades, and his loyal manager Ron (Sandler). What begins as another whirlwind adventure in the spotlight transforms into an unexpectedly intimate exploration of identity, regrets, and the ripple effects of past choices. Along the way, the pair must reckon with their relationships, their sense of purpose, and the legacies they will ultimately leave behind.
Written by Baumbach and Emily Mortimer, JAY KELLY blends humor, honesty, and emotional depth in the way only Baumbach can. Laura Dern and Billy Crudup round out the ensemble, delivering performances that promise both sharp wit and moving vulnerability.
The trailer teases a story that’s part road trip, part midlife reckoning, and entirely human. With its mix of comedic banter, raw conversations, and cinematic intimacy, JAY KELLY looks poised to be a standout of the season — one that asks, Do you know how difficult it is to be yourself?
Whether you catch it on the big screen this November or stream it at home in December, JAY KELLY is shaping up to be a must-see for fans of layered storytelling and powerhouse performances.
