- Jack Cameron Kay is attached to star as Taylor in "Until The Time We Die," a New Orleans-set queer love story written and directed by Daniel Talbott, with Felix Mack and Talbott's Orphan Andy Films producing
- The film follows Taylor, who lives alone in his parents' house and travels weekly to care for his wayward older brother Cody; when Cody makes a decision that "breaks open" Taylor's life, he emerges into the French Quarter's "chaos and swirl," per the film's logline
- Kay recently played Jones in Netflix's queer Marine Corps boot-camp series "Boots" and has a role in Jordan Firstman's Cannes-premiering A24 film "Club Kid"; he is currently rehearsing the role of Jack Twist in the American premiere of the "Brokeback Mountain" stage adaptation at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
- Daniel Talbott described the film as "naked, vulnerable, and scarred" and said it was "born from my first deep love with a guy"; his upcoming slate includes the Denmark-set "Gray" with Motor Productions, the horror-drama pilot "Rome, Georgia" starring Mary-Louise Parker, limited series "To the Light" with Saga Film, documentary "Welcome to Tool Shed," and LGBTQ+ drama "Born Again" co-showrun with Stephen Laughton
Why it matters: The casting pairs a fast-rising indie talent — fresh off Netflix's "Boots" and an A24 Cannes premiere — with a writer-director expanding into a personal queer narrative that Talbott himself anchored to "the first boy I kissed," giving the project both prestige positioning and a built-in festival runway alongside Talbott's already-stacked development pipeline.
