"Luca Guadagnino's Challengers"
It's interesting that they're using his name to market the movie, I can't imagine it would be too much of a draw for the average viewer. Then again he's the reason I'm excited for it so I guess they're trying to tap into both Zendaya and Guadagnino's fanbases.

Great poster tho, would definitely hang it if I could get a hold of one.

Love the poster

I have little interest in the movie, but I applaud the marketing department for bringing back the '80s style painted movie poster.

[filmbuffTX]

I do like that poster style.

Too bad it'll get a floating-head photoshop job for the eventual Blu/UHD.

Poster looks like a screen cap from the upcoming James Cameron 4Ks

Bit surprised by the lengthy runtime honestly, based on the trailers I was expecting a breezy 90-100 min. sports drama.

The longer runtime sounds good to me for this type of film. The story takes place over several years. Maybe even a decade or more. You have the sports aspect and then you have the love triangle between the three leads. Need time to show the progression of the relationships and develop and flesh out the characters.

Luca Guadagino natch.

[eightslicesofpie]

hell yeah

[rooboy78]

So do the guys in this hook up or what. I feel like everyone is acting like it’s a bisexual love triangle but I don’t know that it actually is? Feels like people just collectively decide that’s what it was but there’s no confirmation of that.

I guess people are making assumptions based on the marketing which shows the characters being romantic on a bed in a threesome; but that doesn't mean the guys are doing things to each other. So I wouldn't call that bisexual without seeing the film.

Maybe it's a breezy 131 min. sports drama.

"131 mins" is lengthy?
