'Call Me By Your Name' Director Talks Armie Hammer Allegations After Making Cannibal Movie with Timothee Chalamet

Here’s what Luca Guadagnino had to say about the Armie Hammer allegations…

Luca is now discussing the coincidental release of the trailer for Bones and All after the release of the trailer about the Hammer docu-series.

“It didn’t dawn on me,” he told Deadline. “I realized this afterward when I started to be told of some of these innuendos on social media.”

“Any link with anything else exists only in the realm of social media, with which I do not engage. The relationship between this kind of digital muckraking and our wish to make this movie is non-existent and it should be met with a shrug. I would prefer to talk about what the film has to say, rather than things that have nothing to do with it,” he added.

Luca says there is no connection between the film and the allegations against Armie.

“The muckraking of social media doesn’t address anything constructively, and the idea that this very profoundly important fight for equality can be misdirected in this way is something that frustrates me greatly,” he added.

Bones and All, based on the novel of the same name by Camille DeAngelis, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Watch the trailer now!
