Legendary queer filmmaker Gregg Araki is back, and he’s teaming with Olivia Wilde.
In a new feature film titled I Want Your Sex, Araki will co-pen with Karley Sciortino. The film will explore “desire, domination, and fantasy.”
The film synopsis reads: “When fresh-faced Elliot lands an exciting job for renowned artist, icon, and provocateur Erika Tracy (Wilde), his fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal, and murder.”
Per Variety, Black Bear will fully finance I Want Your Sex and introduce the film to international buyers in Cannes next week, while CAA Media Finance will handle U.S. rights.
The indie auteur Araki is best known for Mysterious Skin, which starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt. His other credits include The Doom Generation, Nowhere, and Kaboom.
Olivia Wilde recently starred in and directed Don’t Worry Darling and acted in Her, Tron: Legacy, and Rush.
Production is set to begin this summer in Los Angeles.
