Trio Are Queer For Buscemi

Guy Pearce, Ben Foster and Kelly MacDonald will star in a Steve Buscemi-directed film adaptation of the William S. Burroughs 1952 short novel by William Burroughs called "Queer" reports Vulture.


Partly a sequel to Burroughs' first work "Junky", the story recounts a man's life in Mexico City among an American expatriate crowd of college students and bar owners surviving on part-time jobs and benefits. The man is self-conscious, insecure, and driven to pursue a young man named Allerton.

"Rampart" director Oren Moverman adapted the script ten years ago and says things are still being worked out-

"It's still in the early stages of the actual making because Steve, as you know, is a little busy with his show he's doing on HBO. [Boardwalk Empire] But once he has his hiatus next time around, after the next season, we're going to go shoot this movie. God willing."
