Mescal.
What's the plot of The History
of Sound? The original short story focused on two young men, Lionel and
David, played respectively by Mescal and O’Connor. During World War I, the pair
begins recording the voices and music of American countrymen, also catching
insights into their lives. Heralded as a love story, there will also be an
element of romance to Lionel and David's journey together. Embankment is
repping the film in America, and one of their producers Tim Haslam described
the story by saying, “Ben Shattuck beautifully combines the epic and intimate
minutiae of life, capturing the freedom and truth of human instinct and its
conflict with expectation. The History of Sound gives us so much to experience
and take home.”
Who's involved with production?
Aside from director Hermanus and Haslam, End Cue’s Andrew Kortschak and
Lisa Ciuffetti will be producing with Andrea Roa.“Working with Oliver, Ben,
Paul and Josh is an immense privilege,” Kortschak said. “We are all struck by
Ben’s beautiful and resonant short story, exploring love, loss and memory. We
are beyond excited to adapt this story for the screen with this incredible
team.”
When does filming begin? In
summer of 2022, shooting will start in three locations: principal photography
begins in the United States, then United Kingdom and Italy on location.
Who are the stars? O
'Connor is probably best know for his role as Prince Charles on Netflix's The
Crown, but he received a lot of praise for his role in Amazon's God's Own
Country, in which he also played a gay character. Mescal was a break out star
of the series adaptation of Irish author Sally Rooney's book Normal People. He
won a BAFTA for his role as the emotionally repressed Connell.
^ This sounds like an interesting
movie. It is a different take on a War-Romance Movie. ^
