Calling All Oscars: Darren Aronofsky Is Teaming With Austin Butler To Adapt A Popular Novel


Austin Butler may never live down his Elvis Presley accent, but who cares when the role gave him his first Oscar nomination! The actor has become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors in recent years, with his latest role being among the star-studded Dune: Part 2 cast. Next, he’s working with another critically-acclaimed director. Butler has just signed on to Darren Aronofsky’s next movie, so bring in the early Oscar predictions!

Butler is set to play the lead in a movie called Caught Stealing, which has just joined a long list of upcoming book adaptations being produced by Hollywood. Per Deadline, Austin Butler will play the leading role of Hank Thompson in Aronofsky’s next project, who is a former baseball player who finds himself in the underbelly of New York City’s crime world while working as a bartender. Caught Stealing is based on Charlie Huston’s 2004 novel of the same name, and Huston will be behind the script of the adaptation too!
