This is a bloody different role for Timothée Chalamet.
The 26-year-old heartthrob plays an allusive yet romantic cannibal in the upcoming horror drama “Bones and All.”
The coming-of-age film tells the story of a girl named Maren — played by Taylor Russell — who is desperate to find where she belongs when she becomes romantically involved a man named Lee (Chalamet).
In a dark twist, both characters are cannibals and travel across America together.
Leonard Cohen’s haunting 2016 tune “You Want It Darker” accompanies the skin-crawling movie trailer, which was released Thursday, and shows the pair slaying fellow humans and pulling away, covered in blood.
Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell play two cannibals that fall in love. MGM“You don’t think I’m a bad person?” Chalamet tearfully asks Russell in the trailer.
“All I think is that I love you,” she whispers.
The film is based on Camille DeAngelis’ novel of the same name.
The movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month where it received a nearly nine-minute standing ovation.
The trailer is bloody creepy.MGM“There is something about the disenfranchised, about people living on the margins of society, that I am drawn toward and touched by. I want to see where the possibilities lie for them, enmeshed within the impossibility they face,” director Luca Guadagnino said in a statement about the film.
“The movie is for me a meditation on who I am and how I can overcome what I feel, especially if it is something I cannot control in myself. And lastly, and most importantly, when will I be able to find myself in the gaze of the other?” he added.
The movie received a neatly nine-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. MGM Michael Stuhlbarg, André Holland, Chloë Sevigny, David Gordon Green, Jessica Harper, Jake Horowitz, Francesca Scorsese, Anna Cobb and Mark Rylance round out the cast.
“Bones and All” hits theaters on Nov. 23.
