Can’t believe they’ve been filming Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’ for like a month now and the only new Daniel content I’ve seen is that one pic of him outside a restaurant and the note he presumably wrote to the owner
He has the worst handwriting in the entire world I love him
[It's] about how the magnetic Zendaya (also a producer) is so powerful and talented a force of nature [...] that having sweaty, passionate post-match sex with only one of Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist (perfectly pitted against one another) and not both at the same time is simply just not enough for her. We can all sympathize.

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella.
“Challengers” is a film I went into with high expectations. Even though I’m not a tennis fan, it looked very promising based on its director, young cast and premise. I thought it would be a stylish and entertaining film that would be one of my favorites of 2024. This brings me to my next point, which is the…
"Could you talk more about building chemistry with Timothée, especially in the way that Elio doesn’t like Oliver at first but you get closer as the film goes along."
We really hit it off from the very beginning and really enjoyed each other’s company, and also really both were so excited to just get into this process in this tiny town with Luca. And just immerse ourselves and sequester ourselves in this film. I always say that when you watch the film, the same feeling that gets distilled into the hour and forty minutes or however long it is, is the same feeling that we lived in for months. So it was just this amazing process and Timothée and I both just loved doing it, and we really grew to love each other. I mean, I was just talking to him on the phone right before I talked to you, just catching up. We saw each other yesterday. Our relationship was fantastic, and he’s just so great to work with, and he’s so open and honest and emotionally raw as a person that it’s refreshing. He’s a special person.
"I think my first movie was difficult, for sure," he recalls. "I learnt that it wasn't important to know exactly what you wanted because then you couldn't accept what others were bringing to the table. And my second movie Melissa P was made with a studio, a local production from Sony in Europe. And I had the bitter lesson of having the film taken from me. I've learned how to avoid that. I do not allow anybody else to take control of my projects."
"Before I made this [Bones and All], I broke up with my partner of 11 years and I was desolate," says Guadagnino.
"Somebody said, I understand you. I understand your films. You are such a romantic person. But what is interesting is that being a romantic person is not a positive value per se. It may be a curse."
"I believe that a character, a performance, is carved out in a sort of mixture of elements that come from the script, the description of the character, the [directions] of what they have to do in a given scene, but also by how all these elements are reflected in the personality of the person acting," Guadagnino concludes. "You can see into the person apart from the performance. The performance is also the person."
".. this man gave me a gift that I will be thanking him for the rest of my life..
.. this man changed my life."

Happy Birthday, Luca... thank you for everything. 🖤
Ayo Edebiri has signed on to star alongside Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield in Amazon MGM Studios‘ upcoming film After the Hunt from director Luca Guadagnino.
Based on travel writer Camille DeAngelis’ 2015 young adult novel of the same name about teenage cannibals, this late-’80s midwestern road trip film adaptation treats its central affliction as a carnivorous biological need passed down through an inherited genetic disorder akin to carnivorous drug addiction. Our romantic leads, Taylor Russell and Timothée Chalamet, are bonded by their shared grisly appetites for human flesh while drifting across America’s heartland in a ramshackle stolen pickup truck.
What follows is a hauntingly aching cross-country adventure of strange self-discovery and spirituality on the run. Russell and Chalamet’s arresting portrayals have an almost muted vampiric-like quality with its barbaric body horror elements so subdued despite the ravenous source material. It’s an odd but romantic cannibal drama of unusual attraction that’s deeply upsetting despite a rather sweet central relationship built on mutual trust and understanding.
