From almost all accounts, it seems like Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has another hit on his hands with “Challengers,” a new tennis drama from MGM Studios that’s actually more of a love-triangle romance bundled into the sports genre. Starring Zendaya (Marvel’s “Spider-Man” franchise and the “Dune” series), Josh O’Connor (“Dr.
Léa Seydoux To Star Opposite Josh O’Connor In Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Separate Rooms’
03.04.2024 - 21:05 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Léa Seydoux (Dune: Part Two) is attached to star opposite Josh O’Connor (Challengers) in Separate Rooms, an upcoming film from Luca Guadagnino, multiple sources tell Deadline.
An adaptation of the 1989 novel by the late author Pier Vittorio Tondelli, the film is a non-chronological examination of the romance between the Italian iconoclast writer, Leo (O’Connor), and his translator, Thomas. Details as to the role Seydoux is playing haven’t been disclosed.
The script comes from Francesca Manieri, who collaborated with Guadagnino on his Sky/HBO series We Are Who We Are. Lorenzo Mieli will produce for Fremantle, following his work with Guadagnino on his cannibal romance Bones and All, starring Timothée Chalamet, which won Guadagnino the prize for Best Director at the 2022 Venice Film Festival.
Best known for starring in the Bond films Spectre and No Time to Die, as well as Abdellatif Kechiche’s Palme d’Or winner Blue Is the Warmest Color, French actress Seydoux can currently be seen portraying Lady Margot Fenring in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, which has grossed over $628 million worldwide since its launch earlier this year. Other recent credits for the actress include David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future, which premiered at Cannes; Bertrand Bonello’s drama The Beast, which bowed out of Venice; and Mia Hansen-Løve’s One Fine Morning, which played Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.
A draw for auteurs across the globe, Seydoux also was previously seen in Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch and The Grand Budapest Hotel, as well as Yorgos’ Lanthimos The Lobster and Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. The actress is repped by UTA and Agence Adequat in France.

‘Challengers’ Review: Zendaya and Company Smash the Sports-Movie Mold in Luca Guadagnino’s Tennis Scorcher
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Anyone who’s ever played tennis knows the game starts with love and escalates fast. In Luca Guadagnino’s hip, sexy and ridiculously overheated “Challengers,” the rivals are former doubles partners Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) and Patrick Zweig (Josh O’Connor), best friends since the age of 12, who went their separate ways after both players fell for the same woman. Patrick got there first, but Art wound up marrying her — and their sense of competition has only intensified since.
