About Jay Kelly
Jay Kelly is a famous movie star who carries the pressure of long years in the glare of cameras and the pull of fame in a life lived in the public eye. He confronts memories of a career that never seems to slow, and begins to reassess what success truly means. His steadfast manager Ron juggles the business side and the care of a man who is both adored and scrutinized, often clashing with the public persona Jay has built. The two navigate late night talks, awkward family moments, and surprising moments of vulnerability that test their alliance. Through intimate conversations, dry wit, and small acts of honesty, Jay questions the choices that shaped him and the person he hopes to become, both off screen and on the set of his life.
Created by Emily Mortimer and Noah Baumbach, this project leans into a mix of sharp dialogue and character driven humor. George Clooney headlines as Jay Kelly with Adam Sandler delivering the steady support of Ron Sukenick; Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, and Riley Keough appear in supporting roles, enriching the dynamic. The film is slated for a 2025 release window.
