los angeles [India]April 21 (ANI): ‘Outer Banks’ fame Drew Starkey has come on board for ‘Queer’ which stars Daniel Craig in the lead.
Luca Guadagnino William S. Burroughs adaptation “Queer,” starring Daniel Craig as the famed counterculture writer’s alter ego, an outcast American expat living in Mexico. As Variety reports, Starkey will play a young man with whom she becomes madly infatuated.
‘Queer’ Leslie Manville (“The Crown”) will also topline Wes Anderson’s frequent collaborator Jason Schwartzman; and Henry Zaga (“The New Mutants”), according to inside sources.
The boldly ambitious indie film is set to begin shooting this month at Rome’s renovated Cinecittà studios, where the Mexico City-set film will be entirely filmed.
Lorenzo Milli’s Fremantle-owned Italian company The Apartment — the internationally expanding shingle behind Guadagnino’s “Bones and All” and Sofia Coppola’s upcoming “Priscilla” — teamed up with Guadagnino’s own Frenesi film to produce “Queer.” Still working. Fremantle North America is also on board.
American playwright Justin Kuritzkes, who wrote Guadagnino’s upcoming sexy comedy “Challengers” starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Fast—which has now completed the post—continues his collaboration with the Italian director. The Huey Burroughs novel has been adapted for the big screen. (ANI)
