Daniel Craig's New Movie "Queer": A 1940s Gay Romance from "Call Me By Your Name" Director

Daniel Craig's New Movie, "Queer," is a Visual Delight in the 1940s

Hold onto your hats because you're about to dive into another big film! The guy behind "Call Me By Your Name" - that beautiful and emotional gay romance movie - Luca Guadagnino is coming out with a new film, "Queer." And the star of this film - wait for it, it’s Daniel Craig!

So what is "Queer" about?

The movie takes place back in 1940s Mexico, giving us an 1940s Mexico setting that we don't get to see too often, and follows Lee, our Daniel Craig, trying to survive in Mexico City!

Is it a Gay Romance Movie?

  • It's really a gay romance movie, with Daniel Craig as a handsome guy who meets another character named Allerton and they fall in love.
  • This gay romance movie also happens to be a film adaptation, based on a book called "Queer" by William S. Burroughs.

Will "Queer" be another Big Hit for Guadagnino?

  • His previous film - "Challengers" was amazing. A sports drama and also a critical and box-office hit! It's great for a film with some high artistic value - It means it was a great movie that also made a lot of money!
  • It’s looking good. It’s interesting how many elements they're reusing - even the writer is the same! Plus, it seems to be pretty similar to "Call Me By Your Name." Call Me By Your Name had this dreamy visual style that made it a hit, and "Queer" is going to capture the magic of 1940s Mexico in the same beautiful way. Guadagnino seems to know how to use a setting to his advantage, just like in those Italian locations.
  • Guadagnino has proved to be a good director for book-to-screen adaptions like "Bones and All," so we've got good vibes for "Queer"! It could be really special - because they know what works!

When will "Queer" come out?

We still haven't got a release date - it's being kept secret, so we gotta be patient. But we'll definitely keep an eye on this one - because the internet seems super hyped about it!

So get ready for some visual delight as you dive into "Queer" with Daniel Craig, who we will see as he nails a character set back in the 1940s! With a story that already feels exciting, and an amazing director, it's definitely a film to look forward to!
