October 26, 2023 – Paramount+ today debuted the official trailer and key art for Oscar winner Brian Helgeland’s original film FINESTKIND. The crime drama, starring Independent Spirit Award winner Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Emmy^®-nominee Jenna Ortega and Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones, will premiere on Friday, December 15, on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada. FINESTKIND also will debut in all Paramount+ international markets on December 16, and 101 Studios is handling international sales for all remaining markets. 

FINESTKIND tells the story of two brothers (Foster and Wallace), raised in different worlds, who are reunited as adults over a fateful summer. Set against the backdrop of commercial fishing, the story takes on primal stakes when desperate circumstances force the brothers to strike a deal with a violent Boston crime gang. Along the way, a young woman (Ortega) finds herself caught perilously in the middle. Sacrifices must be made, and bonds between brothers, friends, lovers, and a father (Jones) and his son are put to the ultimate test.

Also starring Ismael Cruz Cordova, Aaron Stanford, Scotty Tovar, Tim Daly, Lolita Davidovich and Clayne Crawford, FINESTKIND is produced by Gary Foster and Russ Krasnoff of Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment, Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan of Bosque Ranch, David C. Glasser of 101 Studios and in association with MTV Entertainment Studios. The film is executive produced by Jennifer Roth, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari and co-produced by Joseph Micucci.
