“Call Me By Your Name” sequel officially canceled

Good.

Sequels mostly suck, so it's just as well.

This was always going to suck. The original doesn’t even stand up to a 2nd viewing.

The original has some beautiful scenes but Armie is terrible in it. Sorry. He did nothing with the role.

Well at least that’s one Timothee Chalamet project cancelled.

We just couldn’t Hammer it out.

Armie was the only somewhat-tolerable thing about the first one (and that's pushing it). Chalamet was dreadful. There was no reason for a 2nd one anyway.

Good. It took the spotlight away from the far superior "God's own country".

This is why I hate the telephone game of news headlines these days -- it hasn't been "officially canceled" at all; if you look at the actual quote Guadagnino just says he's busy with other shit right now and for awhile probably, but his heart is still with a sequel. We can totally read between the lines if we choose to, maybe this is just his way of politely saying fuck that shit, but Vice's headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting and assuming instead of just reporting what what actually said

R8 that’s came and passed years ago.

That’s fine, the 2nd book sucked.

R10 No.

[quote] Chalamet was dreadful.

I guess it would be pointless to note that you're in a very small minority.

Armie's career was ruined by his idiotic use of social media.

Or don’t be a cannibal

Armie Hammer has ALWAYS been problematic. He’s had so many bites of the cherry - more so than most - and has never become a major star. It ain’t going to happen now.

The dad dancing he did in CMBYN should’ve sunk his career for good, well before this social media stuff.

R16 wasn’t that supposed to be how he dances???

Thank god. Don't need another gay-baiting film with us played by straight actors.

What about me? I was replacing the peach in the sequel, and now I'm unemployed!

The less we see of his shitty acting and ugly face the better.

It was going to be shit anyway

Speaking of Timmy and Tom Holland, WEHT the other teen actor who was up and coming at the same time as them, Lucas Hedges?

R22 Lucas Hedges was recently in French Exit with Michelle Pfeiffer. Haven't seen it yet, but I plan to since I like them both, and I read the book. He's a good, unproblematic actor.

Why is Timothee Chalamet a thing? He's fug and can't act.

Funny how Hedges went the super indie route while Timmy went more mainstream and Holland went full blockbuster

I just watched CMBYN again last night, actually, and Armie's performance is mediocre at best. I was excited to see the film - having read the novel - and I think I was able to look past Armie's performance in some type of suspension of disbelief or something. But on the 2nd viewing, wow, he was really miscast.

Luca must've really had some crush.

It was expected (i still don't know if Armie's accusations have any sense).

The novel instead of focusing on Elio and Oliver (Like the fans wanted) it focused on Elio's father (i have no problem with that because i like Elio's father, and i really don't like Elio and OLiver) so they have to write an original screenplay

R26 100% miscast. He was wooden and did nothing with the role.

He certainly is not one of those actors who knows how to elevate even the smallest role. Some actors can have 5 minutes of screen time and are talented enough to utilize those 5 minutes and stand out in a good way. He isn’t that.

I feel the same way about George Clooney. His Oscar is a joke and he doesn’t know how to elevate a role. Every time I see Gravity I think of how that scene where he is speaking to her as he floats away to his death could have been so much bigger and more moving in the right actors hands. You couldn’t even see him, all you hear is his voice. He couldn’t give a little emotion during his final words at least?

R22 Unlike Holland and specially Chalamet, Hedges doesn't seem to have too much interest in becoming a star. He can act and he'll get roles. His movies are not blockbusters so probably he'll get some attention when the movie hits with critics and get some awards but he will probably fly under the radar otherwise

Mahershala Ali is a great example of someone who knew how to make a small role feel larger. His presence is felt throughout the rest of the film in Moonlight.
