The long-awaited on-screen reunion of George Clooney and Brad Pitt is almost here.
The actors join forces to star together in their first film in 16 years: “The Wolves,” the trailer for which is expected to be released on Wednesday.
Ahead of the trailer, Apple TV+ released a 30-second teaser showing the duo in a tense, silent car ride with only the windshield wiper making any noise.
Clooney, 63, and Pitt, 60, star in the new thriller as two fixers hired for the same job. The actors haven’t co-starred in a film since 2008’s “Burn After Reading.” Before that, the two real-life friends starred together in the “Ocean’s Eleven” film trilogy.
Technically, Clooney and Pitt’s reunion already happened this month in John Krasinski’s “If,” although it wasn’t exactly the on-screen duo fans were expecting.

As a gag, Pitt was credited in the film as an invisible character who never speaks, while Clooney had a real role as the voice of an imaginary friend.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in December, Clooney sarcastically joked that he was working with “pretty boy” Pitt again because “he needs work, he’s an up-and-comer.” When asked if it felt like not much time had passed since they last worked together, Clooney joked: “No, it feels like a lot of time has passed. Too much time.”

“Wolfs” is directed by Jon Watts, marking the filmmaker’s first film in nearly a decade that isn’t part of the “Spider-Man” franchise. Watts directed all three Tom Holland-led “Spider-Man” films, most recently 2021’s “No Way Home.” Before that, he was known for directing the Kevin Bacon thriller “Cop Car.”

In an interview with Deadline last year, Clooney revealed that there were already discussions about a sequel to “Wolfs.”
“It was a great shoot and Jon is an extraordinarily talented guy who is also very cheerful,” he said. “He loves what he does. We had a lot of fun making it and seeing it. It’s a great movie and it’s fun to work with Brad again. We had a great time moment.”
“Wolves” release date
“Wolfs” is scheduled to be released on September 20.
