Daniel Craig Joins Luca Guadagnino's QUEER Film Adaptation

Daniel Craig Joins Luca Guadagnino's QUEER Film Adaptation
"Knives Out" and James Bond franchise star Daniel Craig is set to headline the feature film adaption of William S. Burroughs' novel "Queer" from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino ("Bones and All"). The novel is a sequel to Burroughs' "Junkie" and centers on the "Naked Lunch" author off of heroin.

Written between 1951 and 1953, and published in 1985, "Queer" follows Lee, who recounts his life in Mexico City among American expatriate college students and bar owners surviving on part-time jobs and GI Bill benefits. Lee is self-conscious, insecure and driven to pursue a young man named Allerton, who is based on Adelbert Lewis Marker (1930-1998), a recently discharged American Navy serviceman from Jacksonville, FL, who befriended Burroughs in Mexico City.

Guadagnino is currently in the process of raising financing for the project. He is also developing an Audrey Hepburn biopic with Rooney Mara attached to star, but the Apple project is still in need of a scribe.
