All of Us Strangers director reveals the “important” reason behind casting Andrew Scott
The director of All of Us Strangers has opened up about the importance of casting openly gay actor Andrew Scott as the film’s lead character.
Since the movie was announced in November 2022, LGBTQIA+ movie enthusiasts have eagerly awaited the release of the highly anticipated British fantasy drama.
Based on the novel Strangers by Japanese novelist Taichi Yamada, the film follows screenwriter Adam (Scott) who navigates a new romance with his mysterious neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal).
However, things take a surprising turn when Adam comes across his dead parents (Jamie Bell and Claire Foy) who “appear to be living just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.” Andrew Haigh, who previously received acclaim for Weekend (2011), 45 Years (2015), and his work on Looking (2014-2015), wrote and directed the upcoming feature.
