Timothée Chalamet, the Oscar-nominated star of Call Me By Your Name, will be seen this fall in Beautiful Boy from Amazon Studios. The streamer has set October 12th for the film’s limited release kickoff.

The film is based on a pair of father and son memoirs (“Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction” and “Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines”), David (played by Oscar nominee Steve Carell) and Nic Sheff (Chalamet), which chronicles meth addiction and recovery through the eyes of a father who watches his son as he struggles with the disease. The film also stars Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan and Timothy Hutton.

Beautiful Boy is directed by Felix van Groeningen (the Oscar-nominated The Broken Circle Breakdown) with a script from Groeningen and Luke Davies (Lion). It’s produced by Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner aka Plan B, the Oscar-winning team behind 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
