Josh O’Connor in Talks to Star in Luca Guadagnino’s Gay Romance Film ‘Separate Rooms’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Josh O'Connor is in advanced talks to star in Luca Guadagnino's 'Separate Rooms,' about a gay writer's largely long-distance romance.

Josh O’Connor is in talks to star in Luca Guadagnino’s new drama “Separate Rooms,” an adaptation of the eponymous novel by the late Italian writer Pier Vittorio Tondelli. The film’s screenplay is by Francesca Manieri, who previously worked with Guadagnino on the HBO-Sky TV series “We Are Who We Are” about two American teenagers who live on a U.S. military base in Italy. Mieli and Fremantle also produced Guadagnino’s Timothée Chalamet-starrer “Bones and All,” which won the best director award at Venice in 2022, and his hotly anticipated William S. Burroughs adaptation “Queer” starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey.
