Besides acting, Bad Bunny is also an accomplished producer, contributing to Netflix's adaptation of 'They Both Die at the End,' a novel by Puerto Rican author Adam Silvera.
Meanwhile, Darren Aronofsky, known for critically acclaimed films like 'Black Swan' and 'The Whale,' will helm and produce 'Caught Stealing.' He is collaborating with his partner Ari Handel through their company Protozoa Pictures. Aronofsky also has an Elon Musk biopic in development with A24, the studio behind 'The Whale.' The director-producer duo has previously worked together on several iconic films such as 'Requiem for a Dream,' 'Noah,' and 'Mother.'
