Two-time Oscar-nominee Scarlett Johansson and BAFTA-nominee Miles Teller have joined James Gray (Ad Astra, The Lost City of Z)’s Paper Tiger alongside Adam Driver. The film will be produced by Rodrigo Teixeira under his RT Features banner and frequent collaborator Anthony Katagas under AK Productions alongside  Raffaella Leone, Gary Farkas, Marco Perego, Carlo Salem, and Andrea Bucko. Executive producers include Lee Broda, Jeff Rice, Riccardo Maddalosso and Emille Salveson.

Paper Tiger follows two brothers who pursue the American Dream—only to become entangled in a scheme that turns out to be too good to be true.  As they try to navigate their way through an ever-more dangerous world of corruption and violence, they find themselves and their family brutally terrorized by the Russian “Mafiya.”  Their bond begins to fray, and betrayal—once utterly unthinkable—now becomes all too possible.

Vincent Maraval and Kim Fox’s The Veterans is representing the international sales rights and CAA Media Finance is handling North American rights. Sacker Entertainment Law is handling the film’s business affairs, production legal and finance legal. Production begins this month in New Jersey.
