Call Me by Your Name to get a sequel
Actor Armie Hammer has confirmed that a sequel to his Oscar-nominated film Call Me By Your Name (2017) is in the works.
During a recent interview with Variety, Hammer, who played Oliver in Luca Guadagnino’s criticallyacclaimed film, said that people are already working on the idea for the sequel.
Call Me By Your Name is a story of an unexpected first love between 17-year-old Elio Perlman (played by Timothee Chalamet) and 24-year-old American student, Oliver. Set in 1983, the film is based on a book of the same name by Andre Aciman.
“It’ll happen because there are already people working on it and trying to make it happen,” Hammer said.
The actor, however, did not share any further details about the project. “How much do I know and how much could I tell you are two very different things. I know a lot, but I can’t tell you anything,” he said.
In the past, Guadagnino has expressed his desire to make a sequel with Hammer and Chalamet. He had said the follow-up would touch upon the early years of the AIDS epidemic.
“More than anything I trust the artistic direction to Luca and Andre Aciman, and to those guys who did such a good job handling it the first time around. I want to do it again,” Hammer said.
