The adaptation of William S. Burroughs’s novel, scripted by Justin Kuritzkes, stars Daniel Craig, Drew Starkey, Jason Schwartzman, Lesley Manville, Michael Borremans, Andra Ursuta, and David Lowery. When enigmatic, preppy ex-military kid Eugene Allerton (Starkey) catches Lee’s eye, he tumbles into a love affair and an odyssey that will take the pair to the Ecuadorian jungle in pursuit of the ultimate high. The film, which will premiere in Venice, is a showcase for many in Guadagnino’s stable of collaborators, including Challengers screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes, cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, and composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
