Zendaya seems to have a busy 2024 as her second release in two months recently opened in cinemas. The Dune: Part Two star recently featured in Luca Guadagnino’s sports romance Challengers, which also stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. The film was set to release in 2023 but was postponed when the SAG-AFTRA strikes began.
Zendaya’s film has been in the news due to its eroticism and romance. The film follows the actress as a former tennis player who is caught in a battle between her husband and a former lover, who will be facing each other on the court. One scene in particular seems to have caught the attention of fans as it bears resemblance to a popular scene in Timothée Chalamet’s Call Me By Your Name.

Dune 2 has unleashed its sandworms at the box office and is expected to take over with a massive worldwide collection. The second part of the 2021 box office hit Dune, with its A-list star cast led by Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, has finally made its way to the cinemas.
That being said, Timothee Chalamet is well on his way to becoming one of the highest-grossing actors in Hollywood. Considering what he has been up to recently, there are no signs of him stopping any time soon. It has to be noted that his net worth doubled when he was as young as 25 years old, thanks to his Dune salary. One can only imagine how his salary for Dune 2 might have affected his net worth.

“Netflix and chill.” Future pop culture historians will likely look back and chuckle at that turn of phrase, which in the 2010s signaled a hefty technological shift from the days of “we can put on records.” It also represents the moment when Netflix dominated the zeitgeist for years. It’s an open question whether that dominance will continue after next month since the most popular streaming service is doing away with its password sharing capabilities. But in the meantime, let’s all “Netflix and chill” one last time, especially with Valentine’s Day around the corner.

On the set of “Call Me by Your Name,” director Luca Guadagnino gave his star Timothée Chalamet a suggestion. He wanted Chalamet to use his nose to convey the obsession his character, Elio, has with the older grad student, Oliver (Armie Hammer), who’s staying with Elio’s parents in Italy for the summer. “For Elio to try to smell what the scent of Oliver was in his clothing was a way to possess him, to own him, to really imprint Oliver on himself, the way in which you do when you are obsessed with someone and you really want to seduce that person,” Guadagnino said during a recent interview with IndieWire.
The decision of how to play this moment of solitude and abandon was left to Chalamet. “We did [the scene] four different ways that were all radically different and all on scales of physical expression — and everything felt gravy, I...

Timothée Chalamet and Luca Guadagnino first worked together on Gudagnino's 2017 sun-dappled romance, "Call Me by Your Name." The award-winning movie about a teenager who falls in love with his family's summer house guest (Armie Hammer) while vacationing in Italy became an instant sensation due largely in part to Chalamet's and Hammer's insane on-screen chemistry and James Ivory's exquisitely adapted screenplay — which ending up winning him an Oscar — of André Aciman's book of the same name.
Since then, Chalamet has become a celebrity of magnificent proportions, and though he has seemingly retained his humble, boy-next-door charm, his star is quickly on the rise. Next year will see the release of two major Chalamet movies, Denis Villeneuve's "Dune: Part 2" and Paul King's "Wonka" (raise your hand if you can't wait to see Timmy sing and Dance!), but fans of Chalamet don't have to wait until 2023 to see...

Luca Guadagnino is still hoping for a “Call Me By Your Name” sequel with the original cast of characters — and possibly the original cast as well.
Director Guadagnino has voiced his desire for a follow-up film about the affair between Oliver (Hammer) and Elio (Timothée Chalamet). “Call Me By Your Name” premiered at 2017 Sundance and went on to land four Oscar nominations, including a Best Adapted Screenplay win.
“I would love to make a second and third and fourth chapter of all my movies,” Guadagnino said in a Variety cover story. “Why? Because I truly love the actors I work with, so I want to repeat the joy of doing what we did together.”
Yet a possible sequel was shelved after a series of abuse allegations against Hammer went public in 2021.

Photo: ‘Firebird’ Overview Somewhere on a military base in Soviet-occupied Estonia, a young man captures a photograph of a beautiful woman conversing with a pilot, only his lens is not tracking the lipstick or pinned back curls. “To be or not to be, that is the question” – Shakespeare asks of life or death. “Is it better to speak or to die” – asks André Aciman in ‘Call Me By Your Name’. Truly, is it not the same question? And if not, then does a common answer make it two of a kind? For Serghei, a question posed by his friend yields the answer to both. “Do you have time to develop some photographs?” – to speak it is. ‘Firebird’ - Dreaming a Fantasy A private of an Estonian military base, Serghei (portrayed by Tom Prior) has a love for photography and theater. All he reasonably expects is going back to the farm...

Is it possible that corporations can actually affect positive change in the world? Probably not, but while some throw meager sums at charity while earning profits off exploitative labor practices, others throw money at great artists. Which is why we have to thank Spanish apparel brand Zara for at least having great taste in filmmakers. The clothing retailer has hired Italian director Luca Guadagnino, maker of the lush romance “Call Me By Your Name,” to make a 43-minute short film called “O Night Divine.” If this is what it takes to get people to watch a short film, then deck the halls. Presumably, Guadagnino had full creative control, as he was able to enlist some other top-tier talent to flesh out this fanciful little Christmas treat. The film also features a score from Pedro Almodóvar’s trusted composer Alberto Iglesias.

James Ivory has offered an account on his exit from co-directorial duties on the 2017 drama “Call Me by Your Name,” explaining his creative differences with director Luca Guadagnino.
In an excerpt from Ivory’s new memoir, “Solid Ivory,” published by GQ, the seasoned film director and writer goes into detail about being dropped from the project after adapting the screenplay from André Aciman’s book of the same name. Ivory went on to win the Oscar for best adapted screenplay for “Call Me by Your Name.” Ivory digs into his relationship with Guadagnino, his original vision for the romance’s casting and some frustrations he has with the final film.
“When I turned in my script to them, it was accepted without any changes or requests for rewrites, and soon money was found to make the film, and to pay me,” Ivory wrote. “The last time I saw Luca was before [shooting] began,...

Timothée Chalamet might seem quite young to become a full-fledged movie legend, but the 25-year-old actor is already poised for icon status. As if working with major directors like Wes Anderson and Greta Gerwig wasn’t impressive enough, Chalamet has two movies scheduled for release this October. The first being “Dune,” Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel about a young man on an interplanetary trek to save his family. Chalamet stars in the film alongside Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, and David Bautista.

Considering recent developments, it’s hard to imagine the long-rumored Call Me By Your Name sequel will ever happen (unless it took more from André Aciman’s sequel novel Find Me and focused primarily on Michael Stuhlbarg’s character), but that’s not stopping Luca Guadagnino and Sufjan Stevens from continuing to collaborate.
On the heels of a recent short-form Guadagnino video, he’s now directed the music video for Stevens’ “Tell Me You Love Me,” from his latest album, The Ascension. Made in collaboration with Alessio Bolzoni and Celia Hempton, the Giuseppe Favale-shot video is a quarantine-friendly look at dancers splaying out in a white room, with intercuts featuring snowy scenery, neon lights, and seemingly hand-painted art. It is a video, indeed.

Oscar nominee and Twitter boyfriend Timothée Chalamet celebrates his 25th birthday today. With a film career that spans less than a decade, Chalamet already made a huge cultural mark by becoming the youngest Best Actor nominee since 1939 for his work in 2017’s Call Me by Your Name. Adapted from the novel by André Aciman, the film tells the story of the romance between Elio (Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer) in the summer of 1983 in northern Italy. While Chalamet has continued to do interesting work, he has yet to match the widespread critical acclaim that he earned for this performance.
It is then just apt for me to celebrate his birthday by recounting the very precious moment of being introduced to him by watching Call Me by Your Name for the first time and its profound impact on me. This is going to be some candid storytelling so fasten your seatbelts.

The premiere of career-spanning restorations has been a time to again celebrate the cinema of Wong Kar-wai—but not without complications and conflicted feelings. Rather than give his tales of love, crime, and Hong Kong a 4K sheen and call it a day, Wong’s taken the opportunity to rejig his material in ways both minor and major. There’s a new, uniform style of closing credits to create “a reminder to our audience that these are the restored versions,” which most won’t notice. But in the case of Fallen Angels, he’s expanded the aspect ratio and made certain coloring changes that, as our Managing Editor discovered, are more than a little tinker. Predictably, people have strong feelings.
You can preview this new look and feel in a trailer for the 4K restoration. Having seen it myself, I can at least say the new widescreen transfer works: the images remain fluid,...

Armie Hammer isn’t quite sure how far along development is on the “Call Me by Your Name” sequel.
“I still haven’t seen a script,” the actor told Variety on Wednesday while promoting his new Netflix movie “Rebecca.” “I don’t know if there is a script and they’re just not giving it to me or if there isn’t a script.”
“Call Me by Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino confirmed in April that a sequel, “Find Me,” is in the works, inspired by author André Aciman’s novel of the same name. At the time, he announced that Hammer and Timothée Chalamet had already signed on to reprise their roles.
“The passion I have is for actors and the characters, and I believe these characters have more things to do and experience and could be interesting to see them growing in life, it’s not about a sequel,...

Luca Guadagnino is back in “Call Me by Your Name” mode with his new HBO series “We Are Who We Are” (read IndieWire’s A- review), which explains why The Independent recently asked the director to weigh in on some of the controversies that greeted the release of his 2017 Oscar-winning drama. Not that Guadagnino entertains any of the backlash. One point of contention over the film was the lack of full frontal male nudity, which “Call Me By Your Name” writer James Ivory accused Guadagnino of removing.
“Nobody who knows my work can say to me with a straight face that I’m shy about male or female or other gendered nudity,” Guadagnino said. “So, the critique or note that James gave was, in a way, devoid of pragmatism or a relationship with the movie itself. My question to him is does this movie need full frontal male nudity? I don’t think so.

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino makes his first major leap into episodic television this September with the release of HBO’s “We Are Who We Are,” an eight-episode series starring Jack Dylan Grazer and Jordan Kristine Seamón as American kids growing up on an Italian military base circa 2016. While the series’ coming-of-age themes and exploration of sexuality, not to mention its setting, may stir comparisons to Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name,” the director insists, according to a recent Variety interview, that “We Are Who We Are” is not a retread of his glistening André Aciman adaptation.
“I will never complain about people’s laziness, but that sounds very lazy. ‘Call Me By Your Name’ is about the past seen through the prism of a cinematic narrative and this is about the here and now. This is about the bodies and souls of now. I think they are so different,...

Matt Bomer already knew Derek Simonds, the creator and showrunner of “The Sinner,” before being approached about starring in the third season of the USA Network series.
“I had met with Derek years ago when he was involved in ‘Call Me by Your Name,’ and we’d hit it off creatively and had a great conversation,” Bomer, 42, says from his home in Los Angeles during an appearance on Tuesday’s episode of the Variety and iHeart podcast “The Big Ticket.”
Before Luca Guadagnino directed the 2017 film (which later earned an adapted screenplay Oscar for James Ivory), Simonds worked on an adaptation of the source material — André Aciman’s novel of the same name — says Bomer.
Simonds and Bomer discussed the possibility of the actor playing Oliver. “I obviously loved the material; I loved talking with him about it,” he said. “I thought it had real potential. Then he went on...

Luca Guadagnino has been vocal about wanting to return to the world created by author André Aciman with a sequel to “Call Me by Your Name,” based on the 2019 followup novel “Find Me.” As told to IndieWire during a recent interview promoting his new film “Shirley,” actor Michael Stuhlbarg is ready to get back to Elio and Oliver, too. In “Call Me by Your Name,” Stuhlbarg played Elio’s father, Professor Sami Perlman, and was given one of the film’s most iconic moments with a moving speech given to Elio after he and Oliver part ways.
But Stuhlbarg said he hasn’t been contacted about participating in the sequel yet. “I would be glad to if they were interested to discuss it with me,” he said. “I would be thrilled just to be a part of it, if it were to happen. I know that everybody seems very enthusiastic about it so.

Director Luca Guadagnino has added yet another project to his packed slate of upcoming films and television. According to Variety, the Academy Award-nominated “Call Me By Your Name” and “I Am Love” filmmaker is now set to helm a retelling of “Scarface” for Universal Pictures. The script for this latest version comes from Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, working from earlier drafts by Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer (the “Miss Bala” remake), Jonathan Herman (“Straight Outta Compton”), and Paul Attanasio (“Quiz Show”).
The mythic crime story of Scarface has been told many a time in cinema, from the 1932 Howard Hawks original starring Paul Muni, to Brian De Palma’s lurid Miami-set take, from 1983, with Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. Guadagnino’s version will reportedly be a reimagining of the original immigrant narrative established in both those films, and this time will be set in Los Angeles.
This is not Guadagnino’s first dip into remake territory,...

Call Me By Your Name Oscar nominee Luca Guadagnino is now set to direct Universal Pictures’ reimagination of Scarface.
The studio has been in development on the project for quite some time, going back to 2011, with David Ayer and Antoine Fuqua previously attached at directors as Deadline has broken the news on this project over various points. United Artists distributed the 1932 Howard Hawks-Richard Rosson movie, while Universal released the iconic 1983 Brian De Palma movie that starred Al Pacino as Cuban gangster Tony Montana.
In the 1932 Scarface, an Italian (Paul Muni) took over Chicago, and in the De Palma remake, Montana cornered the cocaine trade in 1980s Miami, only to be consumed by it.
The new movie will be set in Los Angeles. The pic’s shooting script will be off of Joel Coen and Ethan Coen’s version, who’ve been with the project for at least three years,...

There are films. Then there is cinema. Call Me By Your Name is cinema. This film is exactly what cinemas/movie theatres were built for. The leads and their chemistry scorched its way from the screens into our hearts. The universe conspired to bring this film and every aspect of its magnificence to us. There were many years of delays to the script and the making of the film - and that was the universe's way of giving time for Armie Hammer, Timothée Chalamet, Luca Guadagnino, James Ivory, Michael Stuhlbarg to become available to create this magic potion which would definitely not have worked with a single puzzle piece missing. André Aciman's novel of the same name was given justice by this cinematic adaptation. The chemistry between Elio and Oliver is beyond scorching, but let's not forget the chemistry between the setting/mansion and the clandestine lovemaking, the chemistry...

Does Luca Guadagnino ever sleep? The Italian filmmaker released back-to-back arthouse favorites “Call Me by Your Name” and “Suspiria” in 2017 and 2018, launched the short film “The Staggering Girl” at Cannes in 2019, and he’s also working on an adaptation of William Golding’s AP English staple, “Lord of the Flies.” That’s not to mention his miniseries “We Are Who We Are” in the works, plus a sequel to “Call Me By Your Name,” and a long-rumored big-screen imagining of Bob Dylan’s iconic breakup album, “Blood on the Tracks.”
In the latest news on the front of “Lord of the Flies,” which Guadagnino is set up to direct for Warner Bros., the film has landed young-adult novelist and “A Monster Calls” scribe Patrick Ness as the screenwriter. There were previously talks of a gender-bent production, swapping in a group of school girls for the boys in the 1954 novel who,...

While it seems like more has been discussed about the sequel to Call Me by Your Name than most independent films that have actually been made the last few years, in a time when little else brings joy, it’s worth providing the updates that do come in. Since the 2017 release of his romantic drama, Luca Guadagnino has been vocal about wanting to continue this story in a Before trilogy-esque way and it looks like things are still moving forward despite a pandemic-related hiccup.

Last year’s Scripter winners were the exception that prove the rule: “Leave No Trace” screenwriters Debra Granik and Anne Rosellini were not nominated for the Oscar; they adapted Peter Rock, author of “My Abandonment.”
The year before was more typical, as the Scripter Award went to “Call Me by Your Name” screenwriter James Ivory (who won the Oscar), and author André Aciman; past winners include “Moonlight,” “The Big Short,” and “The Imitation Game,” which all won Oscars. In fact, before 2019 eight Scripter Award winners went on to win Oscars.

At the Marrakech Film Festival to give a masterclass, Italian master Luca Guadagnino spoke about the way he envisioned the sequel to “Call Me By Your Name,” as well as shared memories about his childhood and his vision of filmmaking.
Guadagnino said that while the script of “Call Me By Your Name” is “strongly faithful” to André Aciman’s book by the same name, the follow up will not be as strictly adapted from his second novel “Find Me,” which just came out and is reportedly divided in four sections set 10, 15 and 20 years after the first opus.
“The passion I have is for actors and the characters, and I believe these characters have more things to do and experience and could be interesting to see them growing in life, it’s not about a sequel it’s about what happens to them, and how to track the actors aging into the characters…...

After much acclaim for his 2007 novel, Call Me By Your Name, André Aciman's story continues in the recently released sequel Find Me, a novel following the various beginnings and ends of relationships of characters who all seem to confront their "many lives." Aciman's first novel was an intimately immersive show of love and its metaphysical battle with time, and similarly to his first story and our introduction to the love between Elio (played in the film by Timothée Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer), Find Me explores time. Thematically speaking, the novel presents parallels between older selves versus their younger counterparts, father and son reflections, and questions if age is a deterrent or not to living life on the other side of the river bank.

“Call Me By Your Name” author André Aciman is currently making the press rounds in support of his new book “Find Me,” a sequel to his beloved 2007 gay romance novel. While the new book once again picks up the stories of Elio and Oliver several years after the events of “Call Me By Your Name,” it spends a considerable amount of time on Elio’s father, Samuel Perlman. In an interview with GQ, Acemin was asked about Samuel’s legendary monologue at the end of “Call Me By Your Name,” which gained breakout popularity among cinephiles thanks to Michael Stuhlbarg’s inspired rendition of the speech in Luca Guadagnino’s Oscar-winning adaptation.
“When you least expect it, nature has cunning ways of finding our weakest spot,” Samuel tells his heartbroken son Elio. “Just remember: I am here. Right now, you may not want to feel anything — maybe you never wished...

[Editor’s note: This post contains spoilers for André Aciman’s “Find Me.”]
There are few things Hollywood loves more than a beloved film property that can spawn its own movie universe, or at least a profitable sequel or two. But in a glutted market filled with sprawling franchises that have grown ever more predictable, some sequels provide a welcome alternative. Such is the case with Luca Gudagnino’s lush adaptation of André Aciman’s 2007 novel “Call Me by Your Name,” which traces the stirring summer romance between teenager Elio and graduate student Oliver, and has now received a sequel in book form.
Aciman’s latest, the much-anticipated “Find Me,” follows the characters into the next stage of their lives and is out today. What does it portend for a potential new movie?

Oscar-nominated “Call Me By Your Name” and “Suspiria” director Luca Guadagnino is in negotiations to direct a new adaptation of William Golding’s classic coming-of-age novel for Warner Bros. According to Variety, Warners has been trying to mount the project since reacquiring the rights in 2017.
There have previously been talks of a gender-bent production, swapping in a group of school girls for the boys in the novel who, marooned on a desert island, unravel into savagery and madness. According to other sources, the screenplay will come from Nicole Perlman and Geneva Robertson-Dworet — scribes behind such recent action tentpoles including “Captain Marvel,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and “Tomb Raider.”
“Lord of the Flies” would mark the biggest scope, and presumably budget, yet for the Italian auteur who currently already has a busy slate on his hands. He’s in pre-production on the HBO miniseries “We Are What We Are,” which centers...

Whispers of a “Call Me By Your Name” sequel have been around since before the film of the same name premiered in 2017, but a reunion between Elio and Oliver is now on the horizon — in book form, at least.
The original novel’s author, André Aciman, has unveiled the cover for “Find Me,” his follow-up set to hit bookstores for a late October release date. “Find Me” will not only check back in with Elio and Oliver (played by Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer in Luca Guadagnino’s film) after the events of “Call Me By Your Name,” but also explore what has happened to Elio’s father Samuel (Michael Stuhlbarg).
Per the official synopsis, Samuel travels “on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever.

The status of the “Call Me By Your Name” movie sequel may be in jeopardy, but author André Aciman is moving right along with the publication of the sequel novel this fall. Aciman and publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux have announced an October release date for the “Call Me By Your Name” books sequel, now officially titled “Find Me.” The sequel’s synopsis has also been revealed, and it might come as a surprise to fans as it’s not entirely Elio and Oliver focused.
The “Find Me” synopsis from Fsg reads: “In ‘Find Me,’ Aciman shows us Elio’s father Samuel, now divorced, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train leads to a relationship that changes Sami’s life definitively. Elio soon moves to Paris where he too has a consequential affair, while Oliver,...

Since the release of the Italy-set romance a few years back, there’s been more ink spilled over the potential of a Call Me By Your Name sequel than when it comes to all the writing surrounding Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria, so we already apologize for adding to the problem. However, a substantial update has now occurred as author André Aciman has announced he’s written a follow-up novel and it’ll be arriving much sooner than expected. Titled Find Me, it’ll be released on October 29, 2019 via publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux. See a synopsis below, which reveals where Elio, Oliver, and Samuel find themselves;
In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father Samuel, now divorced, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train leads to a relationship that changes Sami’s life definitively.

Armie Hammer has been one of the more vocal supporters of a “Call Me By Your Name” sequel, but the actor is now casting doubt on whether or not a follow-up to Luca Guadagnino’s acclaimed 2017 romance will ever happen. Speaking to Vulture during the press tour for his new movie “Hotel Mumbai,” Hammer said he’s now conflicted about making a follow-up as it will be next to impossible to capture the spark of the original.
“There have been really loose conversations about it, but at the end of the day — I’m sort of coming around to the idea that the first one was so special for everyone who made it, and so many people who watched it felt like it really touched them, or spoke to them,” Hammer said. “And it felt like a really perfect storm of so many things, that if we do make a second one,...

Doheny Jr. Memorial Library at the University of Southern California. This group of academics, industry professionals, and critics (for which I vote) is often predictive of the Adapted Screenplay Oscar race.
Last year’s Scripter winners were “Call Me by Your Name” screenwriter James Ivory (who won the Oscar), and author André Aciman; past winners include “Moonlight,” “The Big Short,” and “The Imitation Game,” which all won Oscars. In fact, the past eight Scripter Award winners have gone on to win Oscars.
Not this year. Amazon Studios’ limited series “A Very English Scandal,” adapted by Russell T Davies from the book by John Preston, took home the USC Libraries Scripter Award for television, which will compete in the 2019 Emmy race.
