Brad Pitt and George Clooney reunite after 16 years for Wolfs.

Wolfs trailer

The 2-minute-43-seconds long trailer sees a woman calling a fixer to help her after a murder. Unfortunately, it looks like more than one person was sent in to handle the job. George and Brad make it clear it’s “not how (they) work” but are given no choice in the matter. Soon they realise that the body they’re carrying might not be dead after all, leading to chaos. The person they’re handling even describes them as “basically the same guy” much to their irritation.

About Wolfs

Brad and George produce the Jon-directed film under the Plan B Productions and Smokehouse Pictures banners. Apple is also producing the film with them, while Sony Pictures Releasing distributes it. In addition to the lead pair, Wolfs also stars Austin Abrams, Amy Ryan, and Poorna Jagannathan.

Fans reacted to the trailer, calling it a reunion they ‘deserve’. One fan wrote, “Oceans franchise meets Bullet Train. This is the best type of movie we wanted to see!” Another wrote, “Ocean's Eleven vibes man.... its gonna be a feast for cinephiles.”

Brad and George’s reunion

For the unversed, it has been 16 years since Brad and George acted together. They starred together in Ocean’s Eleven and its sequels, Ocean’s Twelve and Thirteen. Their last film together was 2008’s Burn After Reading.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in December, George sarcastically joked that he's working with “pretty boy” Brad again because “he needed work, he's an up-and-comer.” When asked if it felt like no time has passed while working on Wolfs, George said, “No, it feels like a lot of time has passed. Too much time.”

Wolfs will hit theatres on September 20.
