Luca Guadagni­no will reteam with Tim­o­th­ée Cha­la­met on Bones & All

It’s been a big week for Tim­o­th­ée Cha­la­met, which began Mon­day with the announce­ment that he’d por­tray a young William Won­ka in an ori­gin film about Roald Dahl’s famed can­dy tycoon. While that press release was met most­ly with baf­fle­ment and bad jokes, anoth­er update from Plan­et Cha­la­met received today should inspire more straight­for­ward excite­ment among his fanbase.

Dead­line ran a pro­file of Luca Guadagni­no this morn­ing, in which the direc­tor shares some details about his cur­rent­ly-in-progress upcom­ing film, Bones & All. Chief among them is new cast­ing news, which includes the detail that the upcom­ing project will reunite the Call Me By Your Name direc­tor with his one-time star Cha­la­met for the first time since the movie that rock­et­ed them both to a new tier of fame.

He’ll be joined by the likes of Chloë Sevi­gny, Mark Rylance, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jes­si­ca Harp­er, Waves break­out Tay­lor Rus­sell, Guadagnino’s We Are Who We Are star Francesca Scors­ese, and André Hol­land. Film­mak­er David Gor­don Green will also make a rare appear­ance on the oth­er side of the cam­era in a to-be-revealed role.

David Kaj­ganich, screen­writer of the 2018 Sus­piria remake and A Big­ger Splash before it, has adapt­ed Camille DeAn­ge­lis’ nov­el for Guadagnino’s first pro­duc­tion with­in Amer­i­can bor­ders. In it, Cha­la­met leads as an enig­mat­ic drifter who sweeps up a young woman (Rus­sell) also on the ​“mar­gins of soci­ety” dur­ing a ​“thou­sand-mile odyssey which takes them through the back roads, hid­den pas­sages, and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s Amer­i­ca.” Being set dur­ing the ​’80s, per­haps the film will see the leads share a moment of inti­ma­cy while lis­ten­ing to the Psy­che­del­ic Furs’ ​“Love My Way.”

The Dead­line item also clears up the sit­u­a­tion sur­round­ing a pro­posed sequel to Call Me By Your Name, which appar­ent­ly isn’t in the cards any time soon. With Cha­la­met pur­su­ing A‑list movie star­dom in stu­dio tent­poles, Armie Ham­mer busy repair­ing what’s left of his shat­tered rep­u­ta­tion, and Guadagni­no inter­est­ed in con­cepts of his own, it seems alto­geth­er unlike­ly. This will sure­ly come as a blow to those starved for more teen hor­mone-fueled flir­ta­tion, but at least the dream team is togeth­er again.
