Netflix just dropped a teaser trailer for "Marriage Story" — director Noah Baumbach's upcoming comedy-drama starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, giving us our first proper introduction to "Jay Kelly."
Billed as a "heartbreaking" new watch on Tudum, the streaming service's forthcoming release pairs the two stars as a famous actor (method acting much?) and his devoted manager, respectively.
Admittedly, this first trailer doesn't give too much away about the movie: it's mostly teeing up Kelly's all-star reputation. We might not know Jay Kelly yet, but everyone else seems to.
The drama seems to come from Kelly wrestling with said reputation and his own identity, judging by that one line he drops on a train: "You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it."
However, it does offer a few glimpses at what's in store in this snapshot of the movie star's actor, and ends up with one hell of a cast list.
It might only be a teaser trailer, but this first look at "Jay Kelly" is a promising one, to me. It sets the tone just right, and with such a magnetic star at the helm, I can't wait to see what this slice of Jay Kelly's life has in store.
If you're also excited to watch "Jay Kelly?" You can add it to your fall watchlist, as this teaser confirms the new Netflix movie will hit "select theaters" on November 14, before "Jay Kelly" comes to the streaming service on Friday, December 5, 2025.
