last week Amazon closed its deal to acquire MGM and placed MGM’s film group chairman Michael De Luca as part of an interim leadership structure reporting to Amazon Studios and Prime Video SVP Mike Hopkins. “Bones and All” is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter, as they meet and join together for a thousand-mile odyssey which takes them through the back roads, hidden passages, and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s America.

But despite their best efforts, all roads lead back to their terrifying pasts and to a final stand which will determine whether their love can survive their otherness.Guadagnino directed the film from a script by his longtime collaborator David Kajganich (“Suspiria,” “A Bigger Splash”), and “Bones and All” is adapted from a novel of the same name by Camille DeAngelis. “I am delighted that MGM, a studio that so clearly loves filmmakers and respects bold vision, is going to bring my movie into the world and that the amazing work of Timothée, Taylor, Mark and the rest of the cast will be seen in theaters,” Guadagnino said. “’Bones and All’ could not be in better hands with Kevin Ulrich, Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy at the helm.

I am truly proud to be associated with the iconic lion that has roared at the start of so many of my favorite films over the decades.”“Since his earliest days, Luca has been obsessed with movies, which makes him a kindred spirit to us both.

We have long admired his devotion to the kind of cinema that is both admired and passionately discussed by moviegoing audiences,” Michael De Luca, MGM Film Group chairman & Pam Abdy, MGM Film Group president, added. “He is the rare filmmaker.
