Check out the first-look image below.The film, which is adapted from Samuel D. Hunter’s 2012 play of the same name, will mark Fraser’s first lead role since 2013’s straight-to-DVD Breakout.“Adapting my play into a screenplay has been a real labor of love for me,” Hunter previously told Deadline. “This story is deeply personal, and I’m very thankful it will have the chance to reach a wider audience.
I’ve been a fan of Darren’s ever since I saw Requiem For A Dream when I was a college freshman writing my first plays, and I’m so grateful that he’s bringing his singular talent and vision to this film.”Speaking to Unilad about the film last year, Fraser said: “It’s gonna be like something you haven’t seen before.
That’s really all I can tell you. The wardrobe and costume was extensive, seamless, cumbersome. This is certainly far removed from anything I’ve ever done but not to be coy… I do know it’s going to make a lasting impression.”Premiering at the 79th Venice Film Festival.
