Scarlett Johansson attended the New York Film Festival premiere of “Paper Tiger” after a long flight from an overseas shoot, saying, “It’s 5 in the morning.” She missed its Cannes premiere while filming “The Exorcist: Martyrs”; this was her first time seeing the film at a фестив?
Adam Driver, Miles Teller and director James Gray joined Johansson on the red carpet and at a post-screening Q&A. The premiere opened the festival’s 64th edition, which runs through Oct. 12.
Set in 1986, “Paper Tiger” follows brothers Irwin and Gary Pearl, whose get-rich-quick scheme to help clean up the Gowanus Canal puts them in the crosshairs of the Russian mafia. Johansson plays Linda, wife of Teller’s character.
