Luca Guadagnino Was Shocked James Bond Star Daniel Craig Wanted to Star in Queer

Queer, an upcoming film by director Luca Guadagnino, and a film he has wanted to make for some time, has finally come to fruition. After debuting at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, Guadagnino discussed his experiences making this film, the adaptation process, and the casting of former James Bond actor Daniel Craig. In an interview with Variety, Guadagnino spoke about how the casting of Craig came to be, with the filmmaker initially thinking that the actor would not be interested in playing main character, William Lee. Thankfully, Guadagnino’s agent Bryan Lourd knew Craig would be on board.
