Late Thursday night, news broke that Luca Guadagnino — the director of, among other films, Call Me By Your Name — was reuniting with CMBYN star Timothée Chalamet for the “cannibal love story” Bones & All.
The film will also star Taylor Russell and will be based on Camille DeAngelis’ 2015 novel, which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “follows Maren Yearly on a cross-country trip as she searches for the father she’s never met in an attempt to understand why she has the urge to kill and eat the people that love her.”
The news raised some eyebrows, since Hammer has been the recent subject of numerous allegations regarding past relationships — including alleged Instagram DMs with the actor allegedly “appearing to write to a woman on [Instagram] that he is ‘100% a cannibal’ and desired to ‘drink [her] blood’,” according to Variety.
Up to this point, Hammer’s ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers — who separated from the actor in July of last year — has remained silent about the allegations. But she clearly noticed the unfortunate timing of the casting announcement, commenting on a Just Jared IG post about Bones & All: “No. Words.”
