Jon Hamm is a thief who steals from the rich in Your Friends & Neighbors trailer

By
Your Friends & Neighbors — Official Trailer | Apple TV+

In the Your Friends & Neighbors trailer, Jon Hamm’s Coop asks, “How the hell did everything go so wrong, so fast?”

Hedge fund manager Andrew “Coop” Cooper (Hamm) seemingly has it all — money, cars, and a house. It all comes crashing down after he is fired from his position. As a recent divorcee, Coop determines he can live off his current finances for about six months. Desperate for money, Coop starts to steal luxurious items from the homes of his wealthy neighbors. By turning to petty crime, Cooper learns that the “secrets and affairs hidden behind those wealthy facades might be more dangerous than he ever imagined.”

Besides Hamm, the Your Friends & Neighbors cast includes Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Marie Gravitt, and Donovan Colan.

Opus: John Malkovich, Mark Anthony Green on storytelling and creating pop stars
A director points to two actors.

If John Malkovich is in a movie, he's stealing the show. From the high-pitched Russian mobster (Rounders) and sadistic killer (Con Air) to the charismatic seducer (Dangerous Liaisons) and the satirical version of himself (Being John Malkovich), Malkovich portraying an eccentric character is the norm, not the exception. Because of his mysterious demeanor and distinct voice, who better to play a legendary pop star than Malkovich?
In Mark Anthony Green's Opus, a young writer named Ariel Ecton (Ayo Edebiri) and her journey to the compound of the iconic Alfred Moretti (Malkovich), the world's most famous pop star, who is preparing to release his first album in 30 years. Surrounded by several journalists and Moretti's followers, Ariel quickly learns about the dark side of celebrity and tribalism in this psychological horror.
Malkovich and Green spoke to Digital Trends about the art of storytelling and how to create a pop star out of thin air.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Digital Trends: I wanted to start with a question for both of you about storytelling because I feel like there's this debate on who is a storyteller. Can actors be storytellers? I watched a recent interview with Kieran Culkin and Coleman Domingo, and they said they weren't necessarily storytellers. They were servants who were in service to the story. That was their job. At the end of the day, it wasn't their script. Mark Anthony, I'll start with you. How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as a storyteller because you wrote and directed this script?
Mark Anthony Green: Yeah, I think most people would probably agree — Writer-director, storyteller, especially if it's an original story. The reason I approach it differently, I won't say I disagree with ... I'll never say I disagree with Coleman Domingo because I'm such a fan. The reason I kind of approach it differently, probably the best part of the job, is working with John and Ayo and Murray [Bartlett] and Juliette [Lewis] and Tony [Hale]. Working together to tell the story.
There's never a moment where I feel like I'm the only one in charge or tasked with the story. I thoroughly expect Shirley Kurata, our costume designer, to be telling that story, and you better believe I expected John's ass there on time to tell that story, and he was. He [John] would send ideas, even improvise lines. There are some moments in Opus when John improvises lines and tells the story. I don't think that's how it works. I think that those guys [Colman and Kieran] were being humble, and I appreciate that.
