WATCH: Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke get intimate in gay cowboy drama
Strange Way Of Life, which just dropped a trailer ahead of its premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival.From the jump, the short film—only the director’s second in English—had us by the bootstraps, said to be Almodóvar’s answer to Brokeback Mountain, but apparently much more “physical” and “animalistic.”So, uh, yeah.
Sold.But the all-star cast only sweetens the deal. At the center of the film are two of the daddiest daddies to ever daddy on screen: Silver fox Ethan Hawke and the current reigning “Internet’s Boyfriend” of 2023, Pedro Pascal.Strange Way Of Life‘s official synopsis provides a bit more clarity on the roles they’ll both play, as well as the fiery—and mysterious—chemistry between them:“A man rides a horse across the desert that separates him from Bitter Creek.
He comes to visit Sheriff Jake. Twenty-five years earlier, both the sheriff and Silva, the rancher who rides out to meet him, worked together as hired gunmen.
Silva visits him with the excuse of reuniting with his friend from his youth, and they do indeed celebrate their meeting, but the next morning Sheriff Jake tells him that the reason for his trip is not to go down the memory lane of their old friendship….”“Celebrate their meeting,” eh?
