Black Bear has announced the theatrical release date for I Want Your Sex. It is the first feature in twelve years from New Queer Cinema pioneer Gregg Araki (MYSTERIOUS SKIN, THE DOOM GENERATION, WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD). The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January. It features an all-star cast headlined by Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman. Furthermore, cinemas across the UK and Ireland will showcase the release on August 28, 2026.
THE PREMISE
I Want Your Sex tells the story of Elliot (Cooper Hoffman), a kind-hearted if unmotivated twentysomething. His fantasies quickly come true when he lands a job with renowned artist and provocateur Erika Tracy (Olivia Wilde). When Erika breaks down office boundaries, she takes Elliot on as her sexual muse and subordinate. As a result, their sexually charged relationship makes him question his own desires, boundaries, and relationships with his uptight girlfriend (Charli XCX) and repressed roommate (Chase Sui Wonders). As the stakes heighten and power dynamics shift, the film mixes satire, romantic comedy, mystery, and murder. It does so through the colorful and edgy visual language for which Araki is best known.
The cast for the film includes Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, Mason Gooding, Chase Sui Wonders, Johnny Knoxville, Margaret Cho, Roxane Mesquida, with Charli XCX and Daveed Diggs. Gregg Araki directs the film, and he co-writes it with Karley Sciortino.
I Want Your Sex will hit UK and Irish cinemas on August 28th.
