Julia Roberts and Daniel Craig: They Shine at the “Queer” Screening
Ah, San Francisco! The only city where you can find both world-class coffee and a 007 sipping espresso while discussing his new film. Daniel Craig and Julia Roberts, headlining the screening of Craig’s latest flick “Queer,” have given us enough reasons to snatch those popcorn buckets and head to the cinema like a bunch of excited squirrels with a nut stash.
Craig, the man who successfully traded his martini for a leather bomber jacket, made a grand appearance. Seriously, the man looks like he’s just stepped off the set of a ’70s action film—where the plot doesn’t really matter, but the fashion definitely does. Paired with a cream scarf, he could single-handedly start a new trend: “James Bond but make it cozy.”
And let’s not overlook America’s sweetheart, Julia Roberts. Now, I don’t know who whispered to her that a dark gray blazer and matching trousers are the unofficial uniform for “look classy but don’t take yourself too seriously”, but they deserve a lifetime supply of free coffee. Because she nailed it! #Goals
So, what is “Queer,” you ask? Based on the novel by the legendary William S. Burroughs, it’s not just a title that leaves you questioning your Netflix filters. The story centers around Craig’s character, an American fleeing to Mexico City in the ‘50s. It’s like he played a life-sized game of “escape room” but his only challenge is outrunning some serious drug allegations. Who knew the quiet cafes of Mexico were merely a front for a narrative that would literally blow your socks off?
As luck would have it, while we’re indulging ourselves in 007’s drama, Julia Roberts is also lined up for Guadagnino’s next work titled “After the Hunt.” Yes, folks, this means the iconic duo is busy collecting awards and probably sending heartfelt ‘thank you’ notes to the catering team on set. Trust me; you’ll want to keep an eye on that film. With Roberts portraying a college professor facing her mysterious past—let’s hope she doesn’t have any old mid-terms to retake. Because who among us hasn’t faced the horrors of second chances?
Bringing the likes of Drew Starkey and Andrew Garfield into the mix makes it even juicier. It’s like a beautifully complicated lasagna where each actor plays a different flavor. And you know what they say: the more, the merrier. Unless it’s a wedding; then it gets a bit dicey.
So there you have it: a glam-filled evening in San Francisco, promising cinematic excitement with “Queer” due to hit German cinemas on January 2nd—right in time for those regrettable New Year resolutions. Keep your eyes peeled for all the drama, fashion, and, let’s hope, some spectacular plot twists that would make even Bond proud.
Seriously, who needs action when you’ve got Julia Roberts and Daniel Craig navigating love, drugs, and the occasional awkward encounter? In the world of film, let’s just say they aren’t “just shining”—they’re practically glowing.

The special screening of Daniel Craig’s highly anticipated film “Queer” brought the former James Bond star together with Oscar-winner Julia Roberts. This star-studded event took place in the vibrant heart of San Francisco.
Daniel Craig, aged 56, is set to captivate German audiences when “Queer” hits theaters on January 2nd. This film, crafted by acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino, 53, known for his work on “Call Me by Your Name,” promises to be another cinematic triumph. The director and his talented cast came together to present their labor of love at this exclusive screening.
On this exceptional evening, Craig opted for a stylish leather bomber jacket complemented by a chic cream scarf, effortlessly showcasing his rugged charm. Also in attendance was beloved actress Julia Roberts, 57, who looked stunning in a dark gray blazer and coordinating trousers, exuding elegance as she supported her fellow cast member and the film’s premiere.
Insights into the Plot of “Queer”
In this groundbreaking film, Daniel Craig takes on the role of an American man who flees to Mexico City during the tumultuous 1950s, seeking refuge from his drug-related charges. Isolated and searching for connection, he navigates the shadows of the city’s nightlife, only to discover hope in the form of a young former soldier named Eugene (played by Drew Starkey, 31), igniting a tentative bond between the two.
Furthermore, while Craig commands the screen in “Queer,” director Guadagnino has also cast Julia Roberts in his upcoming thriller “After the Hunt.” In this gripping narrative, Roberts portrays a college professor who is thrust into a web of intrigue, forced to face her tumultuous past when shocking allegations surface against one of her colleagues.
Although “After the Hunt” has already wrapped filming, a release date for its theatrical debut has yet to be announced. The film also features rising star Ayo Edebiri, 29, alongside Andrew Garfield, 41, promising to deliver a powerhouse performance ensemble.

**Daniel Craig:** Absolutely! I play an American character who flees to Mexico City in the 1950s, trying to escape some rather complex issues, including drug allegations. The narrative is intense—Burroughs’ work touches on themes of identity, love, and survival. I was drawn to the story’s depth and nuance; it offers a fresh take on a fragmented life, which is so intriguing.
**Editor:** And Julia, you’re set to star in Guadagnino’s “After the Hunt.” Can you share what we might expect from your character?
**Julia Roberts:** Certainly! I portray a college professor who is confronting shadows from her past. It’s a story about second chances—how we sometimes have to face our old selves and unresolved issues. I think many people will relate to that, especially given how life throws unexpected challenges our way.

**Editor:** Both of you are known for taking on roles that challenge the norms. What do you think makes “Queer” significant in today’s film landscape?
**Daniel Craig:** I think “Queer” addresses themes of identity and the struggle of marginalized voices in a historical context, which is still so relevant today. It invites conversation, which is what film should do.
