Guadagnino, convinced Craig was right for the role, approached the actor with the script. In Craig, Guadagnino saw someone, he says, who was “open to play.” Within days, Craig, long an admirer of Guadagnino’s films, was in.

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.

One of the first real signs that "Queer" is going to be an unconventional movie is when Daniel Craig in a linen suit saunters through Mexico City during the early '50s and the soundtrack blasts a song by Nirvana.
