Timothée Chalamet, Luca Guadagnino, Taylor Russell doing Bones & All

Two-thirds of the star-director trio he did in 2017 Call me by your name a romantic success story would come together according to a film about cannibalism, but not the two-thirds you might expect. In other words that is, Limit date is reporting that Timothée Chalamet and Luca Guadagnino are potentially teaming up with actress Taylor Russell Bones and everything, a new film about a young woman who begins to look for her roots after realizing that she has a deep obligation to eat her romantic partners. It’s another milestone in the race for Russell, who currently stars in Netflix Lost in space, and which garnered praise in 2019 for his starring role in Trey Edward Shults’ Old Age Drama Waves. But while we’d like to focus here on the continuation of Russell’s climb up the main ladder of movie stars, potentially working with the He sighed director, and the prolific Chalberet, there is another topic hidden below. One that, for better or worse, makes him argue with his two collaborators tonight by embarking on a film about romantic cannibalism.

And look: we’ve tried, very hard, not to highlight the aspects of “supposedly eating people.” the scandal currently surrounding Chalamet and Guadagnino’s old collaborator, Armie Hammer, recently, especially because all allegations of “I want to eat your ribs” tend to hinder or obscure allegations of sexually abusive and manipulative behavior that have also been filed against the actor, both in a series of Instagram DMs that supposedly sent, and also of romantic ex-partners. (Hammer denies everything, for what it’s worth.) But also: it is deeply strange (though strangely coincidental) that his two most prominent colleagues in recent years have released a new film about someone who wants to eat the people he is in love with right now.

Certainly Elizabeth Chambers, Hammer’s estranged wife, seems to agree; how indicated by Paper, As reported by Chambers in an Instagram post talking about the project recently with a succinct “No. Words”.

Anyway! Bones and everything is based on a 2016 novel by Camille DeAngelis; Dave Kajganich wrote the script. Chalamet still has Dune on the horizon, of course, and Guadagnino’s latest project was the HBO television series We are what we are.
