Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet reunites with his Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino for Bones and All, based on the novel by Camille DeAngelis. The film, which is coming off an impressive festival run, just unveiled a trippy trailer ahead of its November 23, 2022 theatrical run.
MGM also released a new poster featuring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell (Lost in Space). The cast also includes Michael Stuhlbarg, André Holland, Chloë Sevigny, David Gordon Green, Jessica Harper, Jake Horowitz, and Mark Rylance.
“There is something about the disenfranchised, there is something about people living at the margins of society that I am drawn toward and touched by. All my movies are about outcasts, and the characters in Bones and All resonated with me,” said director Guadagnino. “In that regard, it’s also interesting to me to tackle texture-wise the mid-West in the 80s. The idea of the traveler, the one who roams, the wanderer in this kind of modern setting felt very American to me and seemed to me to be a good place to start making movies in the USA.”
The Oscar-nominated filmmaker has wanted to work with Chalamet since directing him in the critically acclaimed Call Me By Your Name, describing the actor as someone who “has the rare capacity to think not just from the perspective of his own character but from the wider perspective of cinema.”
Guadagnino added: “He is a very curious, very open, very human actor but also, he taps into something very contemporary, which was vital for this film. As Lee, he brings that sense of our times. He reveals the insecurity of Lee but also a compassion that is absolutely heartbreaking.”
Guadagnino serves as a producer on the R-rated thriller along with Chalamet, Theresa Park, Marco Morabito, David Kajganich, Francesco Melzi d’Eril, Lorenzo Mieli, Gabriele Moratti, and Peter Spears. Giovanni Corrado, Raffaella Viscardi, Moreno Zani, Marco Colombo, and Jonathan Montepare executive produce.
The Plot:
Bones and All is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter; a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.
