Drew Starkey says he's heading to the ADR booth for Luca Guadagnino Queer It was, uh, a little awkward.
Starkey recalled the experience while chatting with co-star Omar Apollo in Interview magazine. Both talked about having to record automatic dialogue replacement during post-production of Queerwhich is Guadagnino's adaptation of William S. Burroughs' 1985 novel of the same name. Starkey stars opposite Daniel Craig as the central relationship in 1940s Mexico. In the interview, Apollo told Starkey, “I know you have some really, really intimate scenes.”
“That ADR is fun,” Starkey said. “It’s always straining and breathing and moaning. Just you in a booth doing that, it feels like you’re in a madhouse.”
Earlier this week, the film was acquired by A24. At the time of the interview, Starkey told Apollo that he had just seen the film for the first time.
“Sometimes you work on stuff and you have a vision of what it’s going to look like, and then it goes through the editing and post-production process, and you’re like, ‘Oh, shit. That’s not what I had in mind at all,’” Starkey said. “But Luca did a good job of communicating what it was going to look like and how it was going to be modeled and put together. So it pretty much matched the vision in my head, which was awesome.”
In another part of the interview, Starkey also talked about how Netflix External banks changed the trajectory of his career. Starkey plays Rafe Cameron on the show, which debuted its first season during covid.
“Everyone was stuck,” Starkey said. “It took us two years after it came out to actually get face-to-face with people who had seen it, so it introduced us to the public.”
Netflix has revealed the External banks the season four trailer released earlier this week, which will see Starkey return alongside stars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Carlacia Grant and Austin North.
