Venice Film Festival – The iconic duo of Brad Pitt and George Clooney has reunited for a new crime thriller, Wolfs. Set against the backdrop of classic Hollywood style, the film offers a fresh take on the genre with a focus on evolving masculinity.
Directed by Jon Watts, Wolfs follows two rival fixers who are forced to collaborate on a high-profile cover-up. While the film features the expected car chases, shootouts, and general mayhem, it also delves into themes of aging, identity, and the changing nature of male archetypes in Hollywood.
Wolfs is a departure from traditional crime thrillers, as it dismantles toxic masculinity and portrays aging male heroes in a more nuanced and realistic light. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, a key event for launching potential Oscar contenders.
