Picture this: A restaurant in Rome, a chance encounter as table mates sharing space over dinner and an inspired conversation about fashion, art, film, marketing and more. It’s precisely that scene, which unfolded in Italy last April as Amazon MGM Studios head of global marketing Sue Kroll found herself seated across from Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson at a last-minute dinner ahead of a glitzy Rome red carpet premiere for Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, released by the studio and featuring costumes by the acclaimed Cfda international designer of the year.
The meeting, meal and chat produced the pictures that have Hollywood buzzing — in a good way — thanks to a surprise collaboration. The veteran top Hollywood executive stars in the Spanish luxury brand’s new spring-summer 2025 pre-collection campaign alongside of the moment stars like The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, Baby Reindeer breakout Richard Gadd, Queer’s Drew Starkey and The White Lotus actor Leo Woodall.

One surprise hit movie can still supercharge an actor’s trajectory.
In December 2023, Sydney Sweeney starred with Glen Powell in Anyone But You, Sony Pictures’ romantic comedy that became an unabashed box office success, making $220 million on a budget of $25 million. Sweeney’s fee for the movie was $2 million for the film.
Less than a year later, in October, Sweeney nabbed a $7.5 million payday to star in The Housemaid, a Lionsgate thriller that will also star Amanda Seyfried and be directed by Paul Feig, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
It’s a notable jump that is not too common in modern Hollywood, where big hits tend to come from franchise plays and, A-list actors aside, pay jumps come in pre-negotiated increments. But Sweeney has become one of the most in-demand actresses, and has capitalized by lining up a savvy range of movies, including a boxing biopic and a Hollywood...

Zendaya has made some cool money in her career, beginning as a child artist and then fully transitioning into an acclaimed actress. In 2024, she has an Emmy and a Golden Globe to her name, makes millions per role, and is dating one of the most handsome young men in Hollywood. Her massive net worth is very close to the money her Spider-Man co-star and boyfriend, Tom Holland, makes.

Zendaya’s future profile in Hollywood is only going to ascend from this point. She has already earned $10 million for her role in Challengers and is likely to earn a million per episode when HBO returns with Season 3 of Euphoria.

Jude Law’s most beloved character Mr. Napkin Head almost had a very different origin story.
While fans of Nancy Meyers’ 2006 “The Holiday” are well-versed in the lore of Law’s single father character donning a white napkin over his face and wearing glasses, it turns out that the bit was originally for an entirely different movie: “Alfie.”
Law told Variety that the Mr. Napkin Head scene was cut from the 2004 feature, and Meyers took inspiration from it.
“I’d actually done Mr. Napkin Head before,” Law says. “I did ‘Alfie’ with Charles Shyer, who had been married to Nancy Meyers. And Charles included Mr. Napkin Head in ‘Alfie,’ but the scene got cut. And then I did Nancy’s film, and Mr. Napkin Head was in that.”
“Alfie,” which was a remake of the Michael Caine-led original, starred Law as the titular ladies’ man who cheats on his...

Over the last decade, perhaps no filmmaker has expressed lust, longing, and simmering sensuality on the big screen with as much verve as Luca Guadagnino. From the May-December, sun-kissed romance of Call Me By Your Name, to the cannibals-on-the-lam love affair of Bones And All, to this year's intoxicating tennis-based ménage à trois Challengers, the Italian auteur has been bringing sexy back since long before it seemingly went away. And with his latest, William S. Burroughs adaptation Queer, the filmmaker — working from a script by his Challengers collaborator Justin Kuritzkes — looks to have done it again. The movie stars Daniel Craig as ageing, isolated American ex-pat William Lee, who finds himself seeking connection in Mexico City when he becomes infatuated with young buck Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey). Check out the swoon worthy first trailer below:

Daniel Craig stars in Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of William S Burrough’s famous novel Queer, which now has a new trailer.
Next month will see A24 release Queer, Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of the William S Burroughs autobiographical novel about love, desire and self-loathing. Daniel Craig stars as as William Lee, the film’s protagonist, joined by Lesley Manville, Jason Schwartzman, Henry Zaga, Andra Ursuta, Michael Borremans and David Lowery.
Guadagnino’s Challengers made plenty of waves when it released in cinemas earlier this year, and the filmmaker has wisely chosen again work with that film’s composers, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who return to score Queer.
Here’s the synopsis for the new film:
‘Craig plays Lee – a self-conscious, insecure man living it up in 1950s Mexico City surviving on GI Bill benefits and part-time jobs among expat American college students. He becomes infatuated with Eugene Allerton...

Born September 1, 1996, Zendaya rose to fame as a child star on the Disney Channel, with fan-favorite characters in “Shake It Up” and “K.C. Undercover.” The singer and actress soon started dabbling in feature films, where she earned the plum role of Mj, Tom Holland‘s love interest, in Marvel’s “Spider-Man” movies. Zendaya’s biggest claim to fame was in 2020, when she became the youngest-ever Emmy winner in the Best Drama Actress category for playing a teen drug addict on “Euphoria.” Her career continues to blossom thanks to recent releases like “Challengers” (directed by Luca Guadagnino) and “Dune” (directed by Denis Villeneuve).

Awards season is underway, and the Gotham nominations are only a small blip for what could be on Oscar voters radar.
While any nomination (or win) from any industry group marks a chance at gaining momentum, it’s important to remember the Oscar punditry golden rule: It’s not about what everyone wants to win, it’s about what will win. And critics are not Oscar voters. Each Gothams category is determined by a set of five distinct critics and journalists from various disciplines.
The slate of feature film nominees, with Sean Baker’s hilarious and moving dramedy “Anora” leading the charge with four nods, is yet another compelling reason to think that the Neon-distributed Palme d’Or winner has what it takes to go all the way in the race. On the other hand, I wouldn’t read too much into the complete shutout of films such as...

At this stage of the Oscar race, several things are certain. Palme d’Or winner “Anora” (Neon), which scored four nominations on October 29 for the first of the award shows of the season, the Gothams, remains the frontrunner in the Oscar race. Sean Baker’s film is followed by Netflix’s French Oscar submission “Emilia Pérez,” which was not eligible for Best Feature but didn’t land an international nod, either. Does “Emilia Pérez” need a Gothams nod in its pursuit of Oscar glory? No.

“Anora,” a free-wheeling comedy about a sex worker who becomes entangled with the family of a Russian oligarch, led the Gotham Awards, picking up four nominations, including a nod for best feature.
“Nickel Boys,” the story of two African-American teens who are sent to an abusive reform school, and “I Saw the TV Glow,” a psychological horror film about high schoolers who begin to lose touch with reality, were close behind with three nods apiece.
“Nickel Boys” will vie for best feature alongside “Anora.” Other nominees for the top prize include the erotic drama “Babygirl,” the black comedy “A Different Man” and “Challengers,” a love triangle that unfolds against the backdrop of professional tennis. There were several notable omissions, with critically heralded films like “The Brutalist” and “Conclave” passed over for a best feature nomination. “The Brutalist” did earn two nominations for its star Adrien Brody and for the supporting turn of Guy Pearce.

Sean Baker’s Cannes Palme d’Or-winning Anora from Neon has nabbed four Gotham Award nominations today including Best Feature, Best Director, Outstanding Lead Performance for Mikey Madison and Outstanding Supporting Performance for Yura Borisov.
Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers from Orion/Amazon MGM was nominated for Best Feature. The studio’s Nickel Boys by RaMell Ross had noms for Best Feature and Best Director.
The indie-centric awards last year removed a longstanding budget cap on eligibility, an opening for bigger budget studio and streamer fare to submit for consideration.
A24 films were everywhere with multiple nominations for Babygirl, I Saw The TV Glow, Sing Sing and A Different Man. The Brutalist, Janet Planet and Love Lies Bleeding had noms as well.
The October noms and early December ceremony are industry bellwethers, coming at the start of awards season in the crush of fall festival buzz.

“Anora,” “Babygirl,” “Challengers,” “A Different Man” and “Nickel Boys” have been nominated as the best films of 2024 by the 2024 Gotham Awards, the Gotham Film & Media Institute announced on Tuesday.
Sean Baker’s “Anora” led all films with four nominations, including Best Feature, Best Director and Outstanding Lead and Supporting Performances for Mikey Madison and Yuri Borisov.
In the gender-neutral Gotham acting categories, other nominees included Pamela Anderson for “The Last Showgirl,” Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce for “The Brutalist,” Nicole Kidman for “Babygirl,” Marianne Jean-Baptiste for “Hard Truths,” Demi Moore for “The Substance” and Saoirse Ronan for “The Outrun.”
Eligibility for the Gotham Awards used to be restricted to films that came in under a $35 million budget cap, but the awards did away with that rule last year. Currently, the definition of a film eligible for the Gothams is “filmmaking with a point of view … where the vision of an individual director,...

The first trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s forthcoming film Queer is a sensory overload of epic proportions. Daniel Craig leads the film, set for release Nov. 27, as William Lee. He brings to the screen a tangible sense of nervous curiosity as he circles Drew Starkey’s Eugene Allerton. “I want to talk to you,” he tells him, pausing before adding a caveat: “Without speaking.”
The trailer pays close attention to movement and touch. There are centipedes that crawl across the screen, accompanied by the subtle, chilling sound of one hundred legs moving.

Award-winning director and producer Luca Guadagnino re-teamed with Challengers screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes for his latest film, a period romance titled Queer. The 1950s story stars Daniel Craig, who finds himself in Mexico City and infatuated with a younger man, played by Drew Starkey. The Queer trailer has now arrived, soundtracked by Sinead O’Connor’s cover of Nirvana’s “No Apologies.” Watch it below.
In the sun-soaked first look at the film, which was was based on the 1985 novel of the same name by William S. Burroughs, Craig and Starkey meet in a bar before striking up a physical relationship. “I want to talk to you without speaking,” Craig says, and it all feels quite Call Me By Your Name between the undeniable chemistry and gorgeous vignettes of summer in Mexico.
When Queer premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, reception was generally positive, and Craig’s performance received especially favorable buzz.

Hot off of last year’s Challengers, Luca Guadagnino returns with a new intimate story with Daniel Craig as he strays from his solitary lifestyle when he suddenly finds someone to connect with. A24 has released the melodic and, at times, surreal trailer of Queer.
The plot of Queer reads: “1950. William Lee, an American expat in Mexico City, spends his days almost entirely alone, except for a few contacts with other members of the small American community. His encounter with Eugene Allerton, an expat former soldier, new to the city, shows him, for the first time, that it might be finally possible to establish an intimate connection with somebody.” That Queer is also based on a William S. Burroughs novel adds a bit more excitement to the Guadagnino project, which has been in development since 2022.

Leave it to filmmaker Luca Guadagnino to redefine a movie star before our very eyes. The director who landed Timothée Chalamet on the map in 2017's heart-wrenching romance "Call Me by Your Name" and most recently turned a sports drama starring the triumvirate of Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, and Mike Faist into one of this year's most exhilarating theatrical experiences with "Challengers" isn't even close to being done just yet. His latest film might also be one of his most anticipated ever, taking aim at the life and times of famous American writer William S. Burroughs in what's arguably his most complicated and impressively adult subject matter yet. Not only does "Queer" live up to every unspoken promise of its title, as I reviewed for /Film here, but it also delivers what might very well go down as Daniel Craig's best performance yet.

"I want to talk to you... without speaking..." A24 has unveiled the first official trailer for Queer, the second film from Italian director Luca Guadagnino out this year (he also opened Challengers in spring). Queer, adapted from the William S. Burroughs' novel, originally premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival (here's my review) with stops at the Toronto, Zurich, London, and New York Film Festivals as well. Set in the 1950s - Daniel Craig stars as drifter Lee, who recounts his life in Mexico City among American expatriate college students and bar owners surviving on part-time jobs and G.I. Bill benefits. He is driven to pursue a young man named Allerton, based on Adelbert Lewis Marker. Drew Starkey co-stars as his infatuation Allerton, with a cast including Lesley Manville, Jason Schwartzman, Henrique Zaga, Omar Apollo, & Colin Bates.

A24 Films has unveiled the trailer for “Queer,” a new movie based on William Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novel. The film stars Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey and was directed by Luca Guadagnino. Guadagnino is known for movies like “Call Me By Your Name” and “Challengers.”
“Queer” takes place in 1940s Mexico City and follows the story of William Lee, an American man living abroad. Lee leads a solitary life among other expatriates and local bar owners. This changes when he meets Eugene Allerton, a former sailor struggling with drug addiction. Lee grows obsessed with Allerton, who is at first indifferent. Their relationship develops as Allerton slowly becomes more involved with the persistent Lee.
The film competed at several festivals this year, including the Venice Film Festival where it was considered for the top Golden Lion prize. It also screened at the Toronto and New York Film Festivals. Other cast members include Jason Schwartzman,...

Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville and Omar Apollo co-star.

“Queer” is almost here.
Luca Guadgnino’s latest, which stars Daniel Craig and is based on a slender William S. Burroughs novel of the same name, hits theaters on November 27, courtesy of A24. And there’s a brand-new trailer that you can watch, right now, below.
In “Queer” Craig plays William Lee, a Burroughs stand-in, who becomes infatuated with a young man named Allerton (Drew Starkey) while careening through the underground nightlife of Mexico City in the 1940s. (Lee is there to acquire a drug that he thinks will grant him psychic abilities – because of course he is.) Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville and filmmaker David Lowery also star.
Burroughs wrote “Queer” while waiting to be sentences for the murder of his common-law wife Joan Vollmer, who he shot in the head while attempting a “William Tell routine.” (This incident was dramatized in David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Burroughs’ “Naked Lunch.

Luca Guadagnino officially has two Oscar contenders in the mix — both of which are written by Justin Kuritzkes.
Auteur Guadagnino reunited with his “Challengers” screenwriter Kuritzkes for “Queer,” which Guadagnino commissioned Kuritzkes to adapt from William S. Burroughs’ novella. Check out the trailer for “Queer” below.
Best Actor frontrunner Daniel Craig leads the film as William Lee, a gay expatriate living in Mexico City in the 1940s. Lee becomes fascinated by Eugene Allerton (“Outer Banks” star Drew Starkey), who is a young discharged Navy veteran. The duo embark on a romance, which at times is one-sided; later, they travel to South America for an ayahuasca experience to reach enlightenment.
“Queer” also stars Lesley Manville, Jason Schwartzman, and Omar Apollo. The A24 film debuted at the Venice Film Festival.
Directing “Queer” was a lifelong pursuit for Guadagnino, who said during the Venice press conference that Burroughs’ novel resonated with him decades ago.

Can a genuine connection go beyond lust and longing? “Queer” sees two men discover something more beneath the usual facades. Luca Guadagnino helms this anticipated film based on a short novel by counter-culture legend William S. Burroughs. The “Challengers” director reunites with screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes, who wrote the popular tennis drama. This time, Kuritzkes offers a script that ventures well beyond Burroughs’ original story.

On Thursday night (October 24), the fashionable couple matched in maroon while grabbing dinner together in New York City.
However, a video from the night out shows that Tom and Zendaya got separated by a crowd of fans and paparazzi who were swarming the Challengers actress for autographs and photos. Tom is being praised as a hero and perfect boyfriend for his response.

The clip was obtained by E! News. In it, Tom pushes his way back into the crowd, audibly shouting “No, no no.”

Luca Guadagnino and Lionsgate announced that the “Call Me by Your Name” and “Queer” director is in final discussions to film a new version of Bret Eason Ellis’ dark horror novel “American Psycho,” nearly 25 years after the same company released Mary Harron’s satirical adaptation. In a key role that elevated his career, the 2000 film starred Christian Bale as yuppie investment banker-turned-serial killer Patrick Bateman.
It’s the kind of announcement destined to raise eyebrows. Guadagnino is in a career sweet spot after “Challengers” and “Queer” this year (and “After the Hunt” in post); he already has many projects in the works, including “Separate Rooms” with Josh O’Connor and a Thomas Mann adaptation in early development. So why is he choosing a remake — and for a film that doesn’t seem that long ago?
New versions of older films are not unusual. Even the word “remake” is tricky here — does that apply with adaptations?...

Two weeks after “Challengers” announced that it would be submitting in the comedy/musical categories at the Golden Globes (as opposed to the drama races), the tennis film is now expected to receive major nominations in Best Film Comedy/Musical and in Best Film Comedy/Musical Actress for Zendaya. Note that it’s also in the Top 6 for a Best Score bid, though that category doesn’t distinguish between genres. (See Golden Globes odds.)
“Challengers” stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, Josh O’Connor as Patrick Zweig, and Mike Faist as Art Donaldson, three fictional tennis pros who inexplicably bcome involved in a love triangle. Luca Guadagnino directed the fan-fave film from an original script by Justin Kuritzkes. The pulse-pounding musical score is composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
In the Best Film Comedy/Musical category at Gold Derby, “Challengers” is now in sixth place to win the Golden Globe with 18/1 odds.

While this year has had its fair share of surprising flops, Joker: Folie à Deux is probably one of the more surprising ones. It had the hype of Lady Gaga taking on the role of Harley Quinn and the musical twist potentially lent itself to exploring interesting territory as an R-rated sequel to a notorious comic book villain. The movie’s response would become incredibly underwhelming, and Blu-ray.com has announced that Warner Bros. is already set to release the film’s 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray release on December 17. The digital release is going to be even sooner, with a recent Variety report on the film’s box office woes revealing WB is dumping it on digital early – October 29 – in the hopes of recouping some of its $200 million investment.

The movie year 2024 got a jolt of life over the summer with the arrivals of rousing franchise fare from “Inside Out 2” to “A Quiet Place: Day One” and “Deadpool & Wolverine.” But there’s also been much to celebrate on the front of original releases, from the Neon-record-breaking “Longlegs” over the summer to “The Substance” holding steady in theaters as Mubi’s widest release ever this fall, and the practical-effects-heavy slasher “Terrifier 3” outdoing the sequel “Joker: Folie á Deux” in the case of one of the wildest studio flops of the century.
And while most of these movies are not on our list of the best films of 2024 so far — which we’ve pooled below from our highest-praising reviews from the past year across festivals and beyond — but they all point toward a movie-going culture that’s healthier than some pictures paint.

The Academy won’t release its official shortlists until later this year, but one presumed contender for Best Score has already missed the cut.
On Tuesday, Variety confirmed Hans Zimmer’s score for “Dune: Part Two” is ineligible for Oscar consideration next year due to its reliance on pre-existing music.
“In cases such as sequels and franchises from any media, the score must not use more than 20% of pre-existing themes and music borrowed from previous scores in the franchise,” reads the Academy’s rules on the matter. Being a sequel to “Dune,” Zimmer used many of the same motifs and themes for the film’s blockbuster sequel, thus the disqualification.
The loss of Zimmer’s “Dune: Part Two” score was already anticipated by many online, particularly after the newly launched Warner Bros. FYC website had left Best Score off its list of categories for “Dune: Part Two.” The original film won Zimmer Best Score,...

It’s time to update your Golden Globe predictions at Gold Derby, because a major contender has just announced its awards strategy for the upcoming 2025 kudos. “The Substance” and its lead actress Demi Moore will compete in the Comedy/Musical categories, per our sister site The Hollywood Reporter. Previously, awards pundits assumed Mubi’s body horror flick would enter in the Drama races, but the satirical nature of the project convinced the campaigners — after a “debate even within the film’s and Moore’s camps” — to try their luck elsewhere.
This news comes on the heels of the November 4 submission deadline for the 2025 Golden Globes. THR’s Scott Feinberg previously unveiled the campaign strategies for many of the other films that could be seen as straddling the line between Drama and Comedy/Musical.

Earlier this year, writer/director Rian Johnson got his latest film Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery – which, as you can glean from the title, is indeed the latest installment in the series of murder mysteries that Johnson began with Knives Out in 2019 and continued with Glass Onion in 2022 – through production. At the heart of these films is private investigator Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, and Johnson always surrounds him with an impressive cast. This time around, Craig’s co-stars include Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), Josh O’Connor (Challengers), Glenn Close (Dangerous Liaisons), Mila Kunis (Black Swan), Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), Kerry Washington (Scandal), Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers), Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus), Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3).

Oscar nominee Luca Guadagnino is reportedly in final talks to helm a new American Psycho film adaptation of the 1991 horror novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. We shared everything we know so far about this upcoming Lionsgate movie below.
So, we want to clear things up first about this adaptation. It will not be a remake of the hit 2000 satirical horror film of the same name starring Christian Bale. Instead, it's being described as a new interpretation of the book. If Guadagnino signs on as director, he'll be helming the film from a screenplay written by Scott Z. Burns.
Guadagnino is best known for directing and producing the movies Call Me by Your Name, Bones and All and Challengers. His most recent project is the upcoming historical romance film Queer which is set for a limited theatrical release on Nov. 27, 2024, by A24. He also has a thriller...

Now that we know "Call Me By Your Name" and "Challengers" director Luca Guadagnino is making his own version of "American Psycho" — one that's based on Bret Easton Ellis' novel, not the 2000 movie helmed by writer-director Mary Harron — the world is waiting to see who Guadagnino and his team choose to play this generation's Patrick Bateman. I'm eminently unqualified to make this decision — for one thing, I'm not a casting director, and also, nobody asked me — but I definitely have ideas.
Here's one: Guadagnino could gender-flip the role and cast Zendaya, his "Challengers" lead who proved, throughout the tennis drama, that she can definitely play an apex predator. If she's not available, Margaret Qualley could probably make a meal out of the role. If we're sticking with guys, there are some great options who have simply aged out of the role; Robert Pattinson and Penn Badgley could both bring something quite excellent to Patrick,...

Cooper Koch has expressed interest in taking on the challenging role of serial killer Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino’s new film version of American Psycho. Guadagnino, known for Call Me By Your Name and Challengers, will direct the adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ controversial 1991 novel. The project is a fresh retelling of the story, not a remake of the 2000 film starring Christian Bale.
After recently starring in the Netflix drama Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Koch said he feels ready to take on a darker character like Bateman. “I haven’t played a serial killer yet so I think I could do it,” Koch told The Hollywood Reporter. He also praised Guadagnino’s past work, especially Challengers which Koch called his favorite film from last year.

After breaking out in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Cooper Koch has his sights set on his next role — and an iconic one at that.
At the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night, Koch told The Hollywood Reporter, “Luca’s doing American Psycho, so I think I can do Patrick Bateman,” when asked what he was looking to do for his Menendez follow-up.
It was reported on Friday that Luca Guadagnino is in final negotiations to helm a new film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis‘ 1991 novel American Psycho for Lionsgate. The first film, released in 2000, starred Christian Bale as Bateman, an investment banker who seemingly leads a double life as a serial killer.
“I haven’t played a serial killer yet so I think I could do it,” Koch added, noting that in the last few weeks since his Netflix series’ release, he’s been...

Luca Guadagnino has already blown audiences away this year with the release of Challengers back in April, a sexy and stylish tennis movie that received high praise for its performances, direction and cinematography. His second feature of the year, Queer, stars Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey and has been adapted from the short book of the same name by author William S. Burroughs. It again sees Guadagnino collaborate with writer Justin Kuritzkes who also penned the script for Challengers. Craig plays William Lee, an American expat in his late forties who leads a solitary life amidst a small American community in 1950s Mexico City. However, the arrival of Eugene Allerton (Starkey), a young student, stirs William into finally establishing a meaningful connection with someone. A beautifully introspective and tender portrait of identity and longing, Queer boasts exceptional performances, a delightful slow-burn storyline and stunning cinematography, even if the whole picture...
