Araki Goes Wilde For Sex

If news of a new Gregg Araki movie drops and I don't post about it, does the new Gregg Araki movie exist? Fortunately yes -- that just means I'm a piece of shit with bad time management skills. I sent the news to myself on Thursday and then Friday ended up being a half-day -- anyway what am I amking excuses for myself for? Everybody pick up your lash -- I get as many as you like. I earned them. Now, that outta the way, the good stuff -- Gregg Araki has announced a new movie! Well he's trying to sell a new movie at Cannes anyway. Hopefully somebody bites. I'd bite but I have nothing to offer. Just bites. And those don't finance movies unfortunately. Or fortunately I suppose, depending on who's getting bitten and whether they like being bitten or not. Jesus, I'm a rambling one today. Anyway! Gregg Araki! Director of the so-called "Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy" that shaped so much of my twisted brain, and other movies and television programs too. Here is the new news, I will just quote it from Variety because I clearly cannot be trusted not to get sidetracked this morning:

"Gregg Araki is set to direct Olivia Wilde in his next feature, Black Bear’s provocative thriller “I Want Your Sex.” The film features an original script penned by Araki and Karley Sciortino (“Slutever,” “Now Apocalypse”) which blithely explores desire, domination and fantasy. 

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."
