Deadline reports that Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell are in talks to star in Bones & All with Guadagnino directing. The script is by Dave Kajganich, who has collaborated with Guadagnino twice before on the films A Bigger Splash and Suspiria.
The project is based on a novel by Camille DeAngelis and is described as a “horror-love story” that revolves around Chalamet and Russell’s characters. Here’s how THR describes the plot:
With a plot that invites some potentially graphic imagery, and Guadagnino’s most recent film, the 2018 horror remake Suspiria, going particularly buckwild with gore in its last act, this might just be the kind of gruesome romance that only the Italian director could give us.
“[The story] follows Maren Yearly on a cross-country trip as she searches for the father she’s never met in an attempt to understand why she has the urge to kill and eat the people that love her.”
The dynamic duo will be joined by rising star Russell, who starred in Netflix’s reboot of Lost in Space and earned praise, and a Gotham Award, for her turn in the critically acclaimed Trey Edward Shults film Waves in 2019.
Deadline reports that the package is “already gaining steam,” with multiple bidders interested.
