Queer Movie Trailer and Release Date

The long-awaited movie adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ novel Queer has finally gotten a release date: November 27th.

A few hours ago, A24, one of the biggest names in cinema right now, posted this trailer:

The early reviews look good, and we at Beatdom are very excited to see it. Also, that’s a pretty cool Nirvana cover! Which brings to mind, of course, the meeting between Burroughs and Kurt Cobain… Case Rae wrote about it here.

The film will be released a few days before our next book, which is also about William Burroughs.

This incredible collection of interviews and memoir and photographs by Victor Bockris is a must-have for any self-respecting Beat fan. Learn more here.
