Bones and All: release date, reviews, trailer and everything we know about the Timothée Chalamet movie (2024)

Widely regarded as one of the best young actors in Hollywood, Timothée Chalamet has a new movie, Bones and All. The movie marks the second time that Chalamet has teamed up with director Luca Guadagnino, following their work in the 2017 movie, Call Me by Your Name.

Call Me by Your Name was one of the more acclaimed movies of 2017, receiving countless awards and nominations, including a Best Picture and a Best Actor nomination for Chalamet at the Oscars (the movie won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay). What's in store as the duo reunite five years later?

Bones and All was originally a book by Camille DeAngelis. This adaptation is being written by David Kajganich, who previously wrote Luca Guadagnino’s movies A Bigger Splash and Suspiria.

The movie 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; a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.

That journey also involves cannibalism. Just FYI.
