The teaser gives little away in terms of plot, instead focusing on the ensemble cast and mysterious nature of New York City. Alongside Moore, John Lithgow (The Old Man) also appears in the spot, as well as Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Dominion), and Brianna Middleton (The Tender Bar). Darren Goldstein (Ozark) is also in the film.
Sharper "unfolds within the secrets of New York City, from the penthouses of Fifth Avenue to the shadowy corners of Queens. Motivations are suspect and expectations are turned upside down when nothing is as it seems." Caron directs from a screenplay written by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, two writers who have worked on shows such as Comrade Detective and Superstore. The script for Sharper was included on The Black List from 2020, which is an annual collection of well-liked screenplays not yet produced. A24 is distributing the film.
