What (or Who) Is Bones and All Cooking Up?
All the cast, plot, and release info for ‘Bones and All,’ Luca Guadagnino’s road movie starring Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell cannibals lovers. The film premieres at Venice Film Festival on August 3, will be released in cinemas on November 23.

What (or Who) Is Bones and All Cooking Up?

Bones and All is getting more fleshed out by the day. When the movie was first announced in January 2021, it felt like Luca Guadagnino, the Italian auteur behind Call Me by Your Name, was trolling us. It seemed as though there were far too many cannibal news stories, and by that we mean the one big one wherein CMBYN leading man Armie Hammer was accused of being a cannibal, among other allegations of misconduct and sexual assault. But Bones and All, a movie about teenage cannibals in love, is real and happening. However bad the timing is for Hammer’s new career in time-shares, though, the film marches along anchored by the promise of the other Guadagnino leading man, Timothée Chalamet’s sharp cheekbones and deep-set eyes. The hunger for Bones and All continues to grow with new photos and a Venice Film Festival premiere. Here’s all the cast, plot, and release-date information we know so far. Come grab a bite.

Who agreed to be in this thing?

Call Me by Your Name breakout star Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell have strapped in for the ride. Russell plays Maren, a young woman getting used to the margins of society when she first encounters Chalamet’s Lee. She is known for her transcendent performance in Trey Edward Shults’s indie melodrama Waves, which earned the actor a Gotham Award. The supporting cast includes cross-generational New York “It” girl Chloë Sevigny and the chameleonic André Holland, most known for his roles in Moonlight and Passing. David Gordon-Green, Jessica Harper, Jake Horowitz, and Mark Rylance have also signed on.

When will Bones and All be released?

The movie will premiere at the Venice Film Festival out of competition (for those infatuated with a certain French American: His Venice appearance means there are new Timmy gondola pics coming soon). It will hit cinemas outside the lido on November 23, just in time for Thanksgiving. I do not recommend cooking up human parts for your Turkey Day meal to celebrate the release of the film. But do you.
