It’s honestly difficult to imagine two people who are more diametrically opposed than the famously gruff, Academy Award-winning Tommy Lee Jones and Wednesday star Jenna Ortega, who is already a Gen Z icon despite being just 21 years old.

Nevertheless, the pair star together in the upcoming Paramount+ film Finestkind. Or did they? Tommy Lee Jones wasn’t sure himself, so he had to check with Ortega while they were taking photos on the red carpet together.

Tommy Lee is now 77 years old and has made a lot of movies over the decades, so we’re going to cut him some slack. He’s also an iconic American actor so there will be no TLJ besmirchment in this house.

As for Finestkind, which was directed by Brian Helgeland and debuted to a 33% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film tells the story of “two brothers (Ben Foster & Toby Wallace), raised in different worlds, who are reunited as adults over a fateful summer.”

Here is the official synopsis for the film, via Paramount:

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 (Jenna Ortega) finds herself caught perilously in the middle. Sacrifices must be made and bonds between brothers, friends, lovers, and a father (Tommy Lee Jones) and his son are put to the ultimate test.

Finestkind is just one of many projects that Ortega is set to star in, as the trailer for her new movie Miller’s Girl was also released earlier this week. She also has a starring role in films such as Death of a Unicorn, Winter Spring Summer or Fall, and Beetlejuice 2. There will also be a second season of the wildly popular Wednesday, of course.

Finestkind will begin streaming on Paramount+ on Friday, December 15.
