The director detailed his ambitions around the William S. Burroughs novella while the actor known for playing James Bond praised the daring script.

Luca Guadagnino talks to IndieWire about his William S. Burroughs adaptation 'Queer,' starring Daniel Craig, in a wide-ranging interview.

The star kills off his Bond to inhabit a dissolute American expat in Luca Guadagnino’s handsome adaptation of the William S. Burroughs novella.

Mounting a risqué novella by William Burroughs, filmmaker Luca Guadagnino finds an expressive way forward for the former James Bond, who finds a new register.

All of that is there in Luca Guadagnino ’s Queer, the adaptation of the story. What’s different is the depiction of Lee and Allerton's profound, hallucinogenic experience while on ayahuasca and the movie’s full jump into the surreal with its epilogue.

A new trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s Queer has been released. Queer is an upcoming A24 film directed by Guadagnino that stars Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey. The film will open in select United States theaters in the coming days before expanding nationwide next month.

Daniel Craig and Luca Guadagnino are expected to re-team on DC Comics' 'Sgt. Rock' after partnering on 'Queer.'

The context of Burroughs writing “Queer” is unspeakably tragic, and Guadagnino refers to it without making the film a biopic; he is more concerned with the character’s state of mind, which is troubled, addled from drugs and booze, and driven almost mad with yearning.
