Cooper Hoffman, who had his breakout role in the 2021 film Licorice Pizza, has been cast alongside Olivia Wilde in director Gregg Araki‘s provocative thriller I Want Your Sex.
The film features an original script penned by Araki and Karley Sciortino (Slutever, Now Apocalypse) which blithely explores desire, domination and fantasy, and will go into production in Los Angeles in October.
The synopsis reads, “When fresh-faced Elliot (Hoffman) lands an exciting job for renowned artist, icon and provocateur Erika Tracy (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.”
The film will be produced by Seth Caplan, a past winner of the John Cassavetes Award at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, alongside Araki, Sciortino, and Black Bear’s Teddy Schwarzman and Michael Heimler.
John Friedberg, Joanne Roberts Wiles, and Courtney L. Cunniff will serve as executive producers for Black Bear, which will also fully finance the picture and represent international rights.
