Crank up the George Michael and don’t forget your Stag Shop membership card, because a trailer for Gregg Araki’s new erotic comedy I Want Your Sex is here to make your cheeks blush, and your groin feel like someone’s touched the thermostat. Today’s preview of the raunch-tastic film starring Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy, Don’t Worry Darling) and Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza, The Long Walk, Saturday Night) is explicit, folks. So, before you hit play, make sure your boss is out of the room, the kids are at school, and your partner is close by.
What’s I Want Your Sex about?
In I Want Your Sex, Elliot (Hoffman) lands a job for a renowned and provocative artist named Erika Tracy (Wilde). His fantasies come true as Erika hires him to become her sexual muse.
Some people say you shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, but in Elliot’s case, he’ll need to “perform” if he wants to remain his boss’s favorite employee. Gregg Araki (American Gigilo, Heathers) directs I Want Your Sex from a script he co-wrote with Karley Sciortino (Sanctum Unmasked, Now Apocalypse). In addition to Wilde and Hoffman, I Want Your Sex stars Mason Gooding, Daveed Diggs, Chase Sui Wonders, Charli XCX, Johnny Knoxville, Margaret Cho, and Roxane Mesquida.
What happens in today’s I Want Your Sex trailer?
In today’s I Want Your Sex trailer, Elliot’s boss, Erika, summons him to her office, where she informs him that he’s her new sub. As their arrangement broadens, Elliot finds himself infatuated with Erika, and he wants more. The only thing is that taking on new “pet projects” is a pattern for Erika, and everyone except for Elliot knows this. Will Elliot be able to handle Erika’s raw, animalistic power? Will Erika somehow fall in love with Elliot’s meek charms? Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
Our thoughts on I Want Your Sex
While I Want Your Sex opens in theaters on July 31, the film debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, where our editor-in-chief, Chris Bumbray, attended the premiere screening. In his review, Chris said:
“As with virtually everything Araki has ever made, I Want Your Sex is not for everyone, in that it deliberately pushes buttons in order to get a reaction. But it also feels like a movie many will get a kick out of, as there are some legitimately solid belly laughs sprinkled in. It’s also somewhat bold in how willing—and even eager—it is to offend certain sensibilities, and in that way it feels like a bit of a throwback to the more provocative early days of Sundance. My only complaint is how can you title a movie I Want Your Sex and not play the classic George Michael song? For shame!”
