Actors Joe Bird, Mia Wasikowska and writer/director Adrian Chiarella are on Popcorn Podcast to talk new queer horror, Leviticus. Leviticus is a bold and haunting queer horror that follows two teenage boys whose first love turns deadly after a brutal conversion-therapy ritual leaves them stalked by a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most – each other. We recently sat down with Joe, Mia and Adrian to discuss how the universality of fear connects us, how our primal fear plays a role in unlearning things, how horror is a safe space for the queer community, and the significance of Naim and Ryan’s rings in the film. That and so much more, including how Titanic influenced a particular scene.

Travis Knight has a history of reviving nostalgic favourites, having directed Bumblebee, the 2018 solo film focused on the yellow-hued shapeshifting robot from the Transformers franchise. As a kid, his own collection of Masters of the Universe plastic heroes gave him his very first experiences crafting narratives and dramas on the floor of his bedroom; and now he is directing the first live-action adaptation of the beloved Mattel toys since 1987. In our chat, Travis talks about his very clear vision for the film he wasted no time in bringing to life, how he married practical and visual effects in the film perfectly and a story about Queen lead guitarist you have to hear to believe.
