The Bones & All teaser trailer reveals the first footage of Timothée Chalamet's romantic cannibal in his reunion with director Luca Guadagnino. The two first collaborated on the 2017 LGBTQ+ romantic drama Call Me By Your Name, which resulted in Oscar nominations for both Chalamet and Guadagnino. Now, the actor and director have reunited for another coming-of-age romance based on an acclaimed novel. Bones & All was written by Camille DeAngelis and adapted for the screen by Guadagnino's frequent screenwriter David Kajganich.Chalamet and Escape Room's Taylor Russell lead the Bones & All cast as Lee and Maren, two young cannibals living on the margins of society who meet and set out together on a thousand-mile road trip. The film touts an impressive supporting cast that includes Mark Rylance, Michael Stuhlbarg, André Holland, Jessica Harper, Chloë Sevigny, Francesca Scorsese, and Halloween director David Gordon Green. The first Bones & All images revealing Chalamet and Russell's lovesick flesh eaters arrived late last month, but now audiences are finally getting a glimpse of some footage.A month ahead of the film's premiere, Chalamet shared the first Bones & All trailer on Twitter. The 30-second teaser reveals the first footage of Chalamet and Russell's infatuated teenage cannibals as they embark on a perilous cross-country odyssey, featuring an original score by Oscar winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Watch the trailer below:
There are only two lines of dialogue spoken in the 30-second teaser, beginning with Lee asking his love interest, "You don’t think I’m a bad person?" and ending with Maren's reply, "All I think is that I love you." Still, the trailer's short runtime is more than enough give audiences an idea of Bones & All's overall tone, which includes some prevalent horror vibes largely due to Rylance's unsettling character. Romance and horror seem to be Guadagnino's preferred genres, so an amalgam of the two would an appropriate next step for the director. His past two feature films were Suspiria, a supernatural horror, and Call Me By Your Name, a slow burn romantic drama.
In between Bones & All's tenderly romantic moments, it appears there will be plenty of thrills as Lee and Maren have to evade the many dangers lurking in the "back roads, hidden passages and trap doors of Ronald Reagan’s America," as the official synopsis indicates. Based on this first footage, Bones & All is shaping up to be another must-see collaboration between Chalamet and Guadagnino. The film is set for a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival next month, after which it will be released in theaters on November 23.
