The YA books was considered a bestseller.
There is a scene in the Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler movie "Big Business" where the bumpkin duo has to pretend to be the rich business tycoon duo. Their only frame of reference for how business and board rooms work is Dynasty. This was funny because it was so obviously NOT how the world actually worked and the idea that board rooms worked like they did on TV was laughable.
Now, this is how the majority of shows and books, especially YA novels, think the world actually works. Their only frame of reference is other poorly conceived media.

The do look far too old to be playing 21 year olds. The guy playing Alex in particular. Kinda of a shame really as it felt like we were moving away from us having to suspend belief that 30 year olds are teens/young 20’s. But both are quite attractive, if they have the chemistry then they’ll make an attractive pair. Maybe they felt the need to cast slightly older actors to make the sex scenes less like watching youngsters having sex!
I see some outrage that Alex is too white? I never read him as super dark skinned. He’s half Mexican right? So not white obviously but I think this actor is probably about right?

Even witht he Me Too, revealing you were offered a sexual quid pro quo is still dicey for the career. I can see where they may have offered Cimino the lead role in Red White and Royal Blue, but made it contingent.
I saw Taylor Zakhar Perez in The Kissing Booth movies (sue me, I find the predictable story beats of rom coms somewhat soothing). He was fine, but reads too old for this role. Cimino would have been better. Actually, the meta of casting Cimino for this and casting George Sear (who is British) in the Prince Henry role would have been hilarious.

No idea if they're any good, but they seem to have cornered the market on gay latino teen protagonists (no surprise). Several of his books are getting adaptations, or so it seems.
I will say that the premise of one of his books, They Both Die at the End, intrigued me - and seems like the ending DL didn't know it needed.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.

I love the casting for this. I had them in my head as grown adults around my age (26) so for me, they work just fine. I know they are meant to be a bit younger but to me, they are written like older adults. Taylor’s got a lot of criticism but I don’t get it. I really see his character through the screen without even seeing him act. Confident, charismatic, really kind looking face. And I think he’ll play well against Nick. They look good together, they look a similar age. Nick is bang on. He’s the handsome prince Britain wishes it had.

I hope they don’t make this film for an under 18 audience. I fear it gets put into the HS category of books & will go really tame. The book isn’t shy about them having sex, in fact it’s a biggish part of their story. I don’t need major sex scenes but I hope they don’t back off entirely.

Taylor is just fine. He & Nick look very similar ages & they look really good together. I am a genuine mega fan of the book but happily accept the film will have notable differences. The actors may not be exactly as written, taller, hair colour, eye colour etc. The story will differ in places too, that’s how book adaptions work. And that’s OK so long as the overall story is faithful & the actors do a great job. Presumably, Taylor & Nick had decent chemistry in their auditions & impressed.
No-one is sure on Polo. Luna is the obvious choice but not sure why he is in London if so. Unless they are filming internal scenes in London studios perhaps. I’ve seen Philip floated about but surely not?!

Because he appears in every single family photo with Taylor. Thanksgiving, Christmas, various vacations & family weddings along with all of Taylor’s siblings & their partners (he has loads of siblings). Now, he’s def not a family member, so he’s either a weirdly close best mate or his boyfriend. Also, see earlier post, pre-kissing booth, it was obvious they were together.

Taylor made a tiny little tag for Garrett Gerson in this gym story
Garrett appears to be a trust fund brat
Nicholas’s boyfriend Austin is also a trust fund brat
Maybe those two should get together

Oh cross post. GOOD spot R141
Well, that def confirms it, not that I had any doubts. Im really pleased they’ve at least cast one gay man in this movie. Shame he’s in the closet though, how very Henry of him.
Are Nick & Austin actually a thing or just assumed because they seem close? I can’t see much evidence myself, Nick calls him his brother in a couple posts & they look like any other best mates.
Wonder if we’ll see them at Pride this weekend..

Taylor R148, 100%. But for the love of god, don’t descend into weirdo behaviour over Nick & Taylor. Taylor has a long term boyfriend. Nick has previously said he’s straight although so have many closeted actors. But still. I’m already dreading the horrendous shipping.
No, Polo’s boyfriend is Mexican I think. He’s called Bernardo Abascal. He def lives in Mexico with him.

Just coming here to comment on Taylor. Holy moly does he look insane at this premier. Beautiful & hot as hell. His ass in those trousers is something else. A polo neck in a heatwave is a bold choice but I am here for it. I genuinely cannot wait to see him playing Alex.

Really weird take to be so annoyed at a celebs boyfriend for not being hot enough. Usually, people are jealous because their fav celeb has a hot boyfriend/girlfriend but here you are annoyed his boyfriend isn’t hot. Erm, OK? Garrett isn’t Taylor hot but he’s not ugly.

Taylor’s family & all their other halves seem super close & genuine friends as well as siblings. His sister on her brothers boyfriends brothers birthday trip is really cute. I guess if they’ve been together 10 years as per the photos might suggest, families do become close.

Not OP but I’m following the movie/actors here & there as I enjoyed the book & they’ve cast two hot, adult looking leads. Taylor still seems to be with his boyfriend of at least 6 years. Nick is probably straight. But if they have some decent chemistry, I’m looking forwards to watching them hook up on screen. They’ve got a tough act to follow from fellow blonde haired prince & Latin American pauper in Young Royals. Whatever chemistry is, those boys have it.

Weird year for gay characters. The gay characters on tv are fewer than ever yet we have a ton of gay themed movies coming out this year and next year.

On Swift Horses

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
The History of Sound
Down Low
Cassandro

It’s still in post production. They did pick ups & ADR a couple months ago in London. They’ve been recording the instrumental sound track this weekend with the London Contemporary Orchestra.
It is being tested as well. There was a a screening in LA last month that Matthew Lopez attended. A few fans attended but they signed NDAs. However, there was one rouge viewer who said it was a very rough version, it hadn’t been scored or coloured & no special affects. They said it started out a bit hallmark but rapidly improved & they thought it decent enough. There are apparently sex scenes but not graphic and you do see a lot of Taylor’s naked ass. Which I am DELIGHTED about.
I think most people are expecting a June/July release. A year of post production seems normal, particularly as they actually had the budget to go back & do pickups. Which is rare in TV movies.

The book is (I guess) for 14 year old girls, because it's junk. I don't even think it gets the line of royal succession right. Somebody recommended it and I was cringing so hard I'm surprised I didn't injure myself. I couldn't get through it and tossed it in the trash.

I read the book a few years ago. Not sure why I persevered but I did and regretted it. Perhaps it works ok for the American audience but the British characters are all a little off. It also reads like a fairytale for tweens.
