Mubi Acquires Multi-Territory Rights for 'Queer'

Mubi has secured distribution rights for Luca Guadagnino's film 'Queer,' which adapts William S. Burroughs' novel, in multiple territories including the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Germany, while A24 holds U.S. rights. The film, featuring Daniel Craig as American expat William Lee, explores themes of isolation and connection against the backdrop of 1950s Mexico City. It received positive reviews following its premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and will also feature at the New York and BFI London Film Festivals. The production involved Fremantle and Guadagnino's Frenesy Film Company, with a notable creative team including music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Mubi's acquisition continues its strategy of expanding its arthouse slate, following the success of 'The Substance' earlier this year. Release plans for 'Queer' will be announced soon.
