A New Queer Action Man


One of the best and most underrated directors working right now is Jeremy Saulnier, the man behind Blue Ruin, Green Room (my favorite), and Rebel Ridge. And so when he gets a new project rolling we sit up -- well we're sitting up twice as fast and twice as high today because Deadline is saying his new thriller will star out gay actor Cory Michael Smith (of May December and Saturday Night fame)! Just say yes to queer leading men! The film is called October and A24 is producing it, and all they'll say about the story is that it's "a fugitive thriller set during Halloween." That's it. And that's all I need. Sold!

How did I miss that this beauty (and talented!) of a man is queer?

Really glad his career is taking off, he's a sweet guy. 1985 is on Peacock, it's excellent

His public coming out was a gradual thing.

Watch him in Transatlantic on Netflix. He and it are wonderful.
