Queer: Luca Guadagnino says new film will feature “scandalous” sex scenes
Challengers director Luca Guadagnino has confirmed lots of steamy sex scenes in his new film Queer. Back in December 2022, Deadline revealed that Daniel Craig would be teaming up with the Call Me By Your Name filmmaker for an adaptation of William S Burroughs’ short novel of the same.
Set in the 1940s, the forthcoming film follows Lee (Craig), a man who travels to Mexico City to escape his drug-fueled life in New Orleans, Louisiana.
While navigating the diverse city and his looming heroin withdrawal, he becomes infatuated with a young American Navy serviceman named Allerton (Drew Starkey), who’s dealing with his own set of drug-induced problems.
Alongside Craig and Starkey, Phantom Thread’s Lesley Manville, Moonrise Kingdom’s Jason Schwartzman and Trinkets star Henry Zaga also star in the film.
