Ahead of its premiere at the Venice Film Festival this Tuesday, A24 has acquired Queer for U.S. distribution! No official date yet, but they’re targeting to release it later this year for an awards run. Another new image from the film has also been released, finally giving us a proper look at Drew as Eugene Allerton! You can find it in higher-quality and bigger version in our gallery.
Deadline has learned that A24 has taken US on Luca Guadagnino’s next movie Queer, starring Daniel Craig. Since I saw early footage for this film a year ago in Italy, A24 was always seen as the destination for the filmmakers given the distributor’s finesse in handling edgy fare, which is exactly what this William S. Burroughs feature adaptation is with Craig breaking the mold, much like he did with 007. Queer began screening to distributors via CAA Media Finance in late June and we heard then A24 was kicking the tires. There were other suitors. A24 came through and the deal just closed. All of this spells for a theatrical release.
