According to Black Bear, Cooper Hoffman is expected to star opposite Olivia Wilde in Gregg Araki’s new film, “I Want Your Sex.” If you’re a fan of Araki’s work, it should come as no surprise that “I Want Your Sex” is being described as a “provocative film.” The plot follows a young guy (Hoffman) who gets a job working for a renowned artist (Wilde). His dreams come true as the artist picks him to be her sexual muse. But obviously, things don’t turn out exactly as he wants. 

It’s been a couple of years since we’ve seen Wilde star in a film. She last appeared in films such as “Babylon” and “Don’t Worry Darling,” which she also directed. Her last sizable role came in 2019 with the Clint Eastwood feature, “Richard Jewell.”

There’s no anticipated release date set for “I Want Your Sex.” However, filming is expected to begin this October, which would put a late-2025 release date as an option. 

Here’s the synopsis:

How far is too far? When fresh-faced Elliot (Hoffman) lands an exciting job for renowned artist, icon and provocateur Erika Tracy (Wilde), his fantasies come true as Erika taps him to become her sexual muse. But Elliot soon finds himself out of his depth as Erika takes him on a journey more profound than he ever could have imagined, into a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal and murder. Featuring outrageous characters and a playful sense of humor, I Want Your Sex will upend expectations in a way that will both shock and delight!
