Star Wars icon Ewan McGregor and Marvel's Ethan Hawke are half-brothers in the first trailer for Raymond & Ray.
Coming exclusively to Apple TV+ on Friday, October 21, this one boasts one hell of a creative team behind it too, including director Rodrigo García (The Affair) and producer Alfonso Cuarón (a two-time Oscar winner).
As it quite clearly says on the tin, the movie centres on Raymond (McGregor) and Ray (Hawke), who've lived in the shadow of their awful late dad, and use his funeral as an opportunity to reinvent themselves.

In the trailer itself, Raymond, played by McGregor tells Hawke's more cynical character, Ray, that "the old man was always screwing with us, but forgiveness is good", as they're informed that his dying wish was for them to dig his grave.
Cue the soul-searching and comical brotherly conflict, set to Charles Bradley's cracking cover of Black Sabbath song 'Changes'.
After premiering at this month's Toronto International Film Festival, here's how Variety summed up the movie: "There is the slightest hint of wisdom and even joy in the last act of Raymond & Ray that makes one interrogate how well we really know our parents — a question most ageing human beings ask themselves as the time ticks onwards towards the inevitable.
"But García's film is too run-of-the-mill to matter in the end, on its minor excursion to nowhere special."

In other news, Obi-Wan Kenobi actor McGregor discussed why the Star Wars prequels were initially panned back in July.
"I think the critics just wanted to feel like they were seven or eight again, and they didn't get that. So I was left with that [reaction] for years and years, and it took [until I started] meeting people, and I realised how important our films have been to them."
Raymond & Ray hits Apple TV+ on October 21.
