George Clooney and Adam Sandler are going Hollywood.

Netflix released the trailer for Noah Baumbach's *Jay Kelly* on Monday that revealed dazzling new footage from the film, which follows an aging A-list movie star (Clooney) in crisis as he confronts his legacy alongside his manager (Sandler).

The trailer opens with Clooney's character, Jay Kelly, sitting on a dimly-lit New York street, cryptically stating, "I don't wanna be here anymore, Jerry. I wanna leave the party."

Sandler's character, Ron, hypes up his client at what looks like an event honoring the actor. "Jay Kelly, so handsome," he says. "Look at you, you're the American dream. The last of the old movie stars!"

Later, Jay confronts his daughter, Daisy (Grace Edwards), who announces that she's leaving for Paris momentarily.

"This is your last summer! It'll be so lonely here without you," Jay tells her.

"Thinking about her leaving, I feel like I missed it," he says in a different scene.

From there, we hear Liz (Laura Dern), Jay's publicist, frantically call Ron. "We need you now," she says as Ron listens to a call through a fence opposite his wife Lois (Greta Gerwig). "Jay is having a nervous breakdown. It's bad. It's really, really bad."

Jay then announces that he's going to France, and Ron and Liz accompany him.

"When I look at you, I see my whole life," a French passerby tells the actor on a crowded train.

Jay expresses his discontentment. "Lately, I feel like my life doesn't really feel real," he says. "I'm suddenly remembering things. And what is that?"

Ron responds, "Memory?"

Jay shoots back, "It's like a movie where I'm playing myself."

In another scene, Jay implores his other daughter, Jessica (Riley Keough), to witness his work.

"I just want you to come with me to see what I did," he begs. "It's got to have meant something."

She responds, "What if it didn't?"

Ron later questions Jay's feelings of meaninglessness. "Does none of this mean anything to you?" Sandler's character asks. "'Cause it means something to me. I mean, you're Jay Kelly, but I'm Jay Kelly too!"

The trailer then returns to that New York street from the opening shot, revealing that it's actually part of a movie set. "That's the crazy thing. Everything you thought you were isn't true," Jay says in character before a director calls, "Cut!"

The trailer ends with Jay talking to a director played by Jim Broadbent.

"All my memories are movies," the actor says.

"That's what movies are for us," the director responds. "Pieces of time."
