Yesterday’s lengthy discussion between filmmakers Richard Linklater and Greg Araki has unearthed another nugget. It turns out Araki, one of the main voice of the ‘90s New Queer Cinema movement, is “working on a new film.”
Araki has been mostly dabbling in episodic TV these last few years (“13 Reasons Why”, “Dahmer”) and creating his own show (2019’s “Now Apocalypse”), but he confirms a new film is in the works, which would be his first one since 2014’s underrated “White Bird in a Blizzard.”
Although somewhat different from his cult classics, “The Doom Generation” (1995) and “Nowhere” (1997), “Mysterious Skin” (2004), according to Araki, this new project should be “cut from the same cloth” as those two films.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
