With great anticipation, Noah Baumbach’s version of Don DeLillo’s masterpiece White Noise debuts as the first film to open both the Venice and New York Film Festivals. Here’s hoping that Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig’s leading performances in Baumbach’s first adaptation, which also includes a Danny Elfman score, will accurately translate all the darkly humorous, existential dread from Don DeLillo’s story, in which a family experiences a toxic cloud hanging over their every move—both literally and metaphorically.
The first teaser trailer for the movie, which also stars Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, André Benjamin, Alessandro Nivola, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lars Eidinger, has now been released ahead of its premiere and subsequent Netflix release.
A stressful scene of their family in the car after the accident is seen in the trailer. In the video, Gerwig can be heard saying, “Life is good, Jack.” “As long as the kids are here, we’re safe.” After 2019’s Marriage Story, the director and Driver work together again on White Noise. Driver co-starred in that movie with Scarlett Johansson, and it had its world premiere in Venice.
