Daniel Craig presents 'challenging' drug-fueled love story 'Queer' at Venice Film Festival  In his new film "Queer," Daniel Craig sheds his suave 007 persona for the loneliness and anguish of a drug-addicted gay man, in a love story based on the William Burroughs novel. "It's the kind of films I want to see, I want to make, I want to be out there" says the actor. The film, directed by Italy's Luca Guadagnino, is one of 21 vying for the top Golden Lion prize at the prestigious Venice Film Festival.
