Written by Noah Baumbach and Emily Mortimer, Jay Kelly marks another collaboration between Baumbach and a top-tier creative team. The film is produced by David Heyman, Amy Pascal, and Baumbach himself, with key behind-the-scenes talent including cinematographer Linus Sandgren, editors Valerio Bonelli and Rachel Durance, and sound designer Christopher Scarabosio. The production design is helmed by Mark Tildesley, while costumes are crafted by Jacqueline Durran. Casting was overseen by the powerhouse duo of Douglas Aibel and Nina Gold.
With a tone that promises both poignancy and introspection, Jay Kelly is shaping up to be a thought-provoking exploration of fame, friendship, and finding purpose later in life—anchored by powerhouse performances from George Clooney and Adam Sandler under Baumbach’s steady direction.
