The countdown is on! We’re just over two weeks away from the 2025 edition of the legendary Cannes Film Festival — and queer audiences have a major premiere to look forward to. The highly anticipated PILLION, the debut feature from Brit writer-director Harry Lighton, is set to make its world premiere. This queer biker drama, based on Box Hill by gay British novelist Adam Mars-Jones, is already generating serious buzz.
It stars the impossibly handsome — and yes, very straight — Alexander Skarsgård as Ray, the leader of a rough-and-tumble motorbike club. He plays the “dom” to a very submissive Colin, brought to life by Harry Melling. The film has been described as a “fun and filthy romance with heart.” Get ready — PILLION could be one of Cannes’ wildest, queerest rides yet.
