Cold Nights For Pretty Boys

Back in August I told you about All of Us Strangers and Looking director Andrew Haigh's next movie -- excuse me, next GAY movie (thank goodness) -- an adaptation of Colm Tóibín's book A Long Winter (which comes out in a couple of weeks) about a woman who goes druunkenly wandering into a snowstorm, forcing her husband and son to start a long search for her. That plot description is slightly different from the one of the book -- especially the names and settings which have seem to've been Americanized from the Pyrenees of Tóibín's novel. Anyway there's no word on who's playing who yet but we have some cast members now -- Heartstopper hunk Kit Connor with his Warfare castmate D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, and then our boy Fred Hechinger! (Yay Fred!) How those three pretty young things fit into that plot description I have no idea, but we'll leave our trust in Andrew Haigh, who has yet to make anything that wasn't incredible in his entire career and yet who keeps being ignored by awards bodies because he keeps making gay stuff. (What, me get over All of Us Strangers being snubbed? Are you nuts?)
