Nicholas Galitzine will play male model Hoyt Richards in a new movie from director Gus Van Sant.

Plot details haven’t been confirmed, though Richards is known for becoming the world’s first male supermodel — jet-setting across the globe to pose for fashion houses including Versace, Ralph Lauren and Burberry. Richards, currently 64, is the subject of a new HBO documentary “Bring Me the Beauties.” The three-part series chronicles how Richards became ensnared in — and gave millions of dollars to — a doomsday cult called Eternal Values, which was led by Friedrich von Mierers and preyed on young male modes.
