Luca Guadagnino’s hotly anticipated tennis drama Challengers will no longer open this year’s Venice film festival as a result of the Hollywood actors’ strike.
The MGM/Amazon film, starring Zendaya and Josh O’Connor, had been set for a splashy August debut on the Lido but has now been pulled. The release date has also changed, from September to April next year.
Honestly, I would be like ‘I’m not fucking wearing THAT’So sad to see another promising young talent lost to the ravages of Loewe.
I really wasn’t expecting anything from this going in but quite possibly film of the year so far.
What a FINE bunch
