The film has already wrapped filming in LA and will hopefully be on cinema screens in 2025. Little is known about the roles many of the actors play in the film. 

It follows Cooper Hoffman who plays a young man named Elliot who lands a job working for a renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy played by Wilde. 

His fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder. 

Director Gregg Araki created a string of indie films in the 90s that are held in high revere. He was at the forefront of the New Queer Cinema movement.  

Araki’s films have included his breakthrough feature; 1992’s The Living End, a road movie that focussed on two HIV positive men; his teenage apocalypse trilogy that included Totally Fucked Up, The Doom Generation and Nowhere. He also made the romantic comedy Splendour and the critically acclaimed but controversial Mysterious Skin.

The actors in Araki’s films are mesmerising, incredibly good looking, youthful and intriguing. Many successful actors have his films on their early career resume including James Duvall, Margaret Cho, Jonathan Schaech, Rose McGowan, Heather Graham, Ryan Philippe, Mena Suvari and Denise Richards.

Back in 2011 OUTinPerth chatted to Araki about his film Kaboom! His most recent work was the television series Now Apocalypse that sadly only aired for a single season in 2019.

He’s also been a director on lots of other television shows including American Crime, 13 Reasons Why, Riverdale and Heathers.
