This message comes directly from Luca Guadagnino. Emailed about Bones & All potentially going to Cannes and he said he’ll be filming a new movie in Boston all through May and June. Eyeing Venice world premiere. It’s now been scratched off my Cannes predictions.

Guadagnino is filming “Challengers,” starring Zendaya. The plot is said to be a love triangle between Zendaya’s character and her two male lovers, Mike Faist plays her husband and Josh O’Connor her ex.

“Challengers” is expected to have a 2023 release as per MGM.

“Bones & All” stars Timothee Chalamet and is said to be a survival tale set in the ‘80s with a rumoured Cannibalism component added in for good measure.

I know the elephant in the room must be mentioned, and it’s Guadagnino’s last film “Suspiria.” I didn’t hate it as much as some of my colleagues did, but it was no doubt a large what-the-fuck moment in his career as it totally went against the summery, romantic and Italian-set films the director was known for churning before it. “Bones and All” seems to be another Suspiria-type risk.
