Harry Lighton, who directed the BAFTA-nominated short Wren Boys, has come on board to direct Pillion from his own script, which is inspired by Adam Mars-Jones' 2019 novel Box Hill, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
Melling plays Colin, a weedy wallflower who is letting life pass him by until he meets Ray (Skarsgard), an impossibly handsome leader of a motorbike club, who him on as his submissive. Ray uproots Colin from his dreary suburban life and introduces him to a community of kinky, queer bikers, but as Colin dives deeper into Ray's world, he begins to question whether the life of a 24/7 submissive is really for him.
The film is set to shoot in the UK this summer.
