Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino has confirmed there’s a possibility to turn his Oscar-nominated film into a series of films that deal with the AIDS crisis.

“I think it’s going to be a very relevant part of the story. I think Elio [Timothee Chalamet] will be a cinephile, and I’d like him to be in a movie theater watching Paul Vecchiali‘s Once More,” Luca recently expressed (via THR) – a 1988 film about a man who falls in love with a man after he leaves his wife, which was the first French movie to deal with AIDS.

“That could be the first scene [in the sequel],” Luca continued. “The novel has 40 pages at the end that goes through the next 20 years of the lives of Elio and Oliver, so there is some sort of indication through the intention of author Andre Aciman that the story can continue.”

“In my opinion, Call Me can be the first chapter of the chronicles of the life of these people that we met in this movie,” Luca added. “And if the first one is a story of coming of age and becoming a young man, maybe the next chapter will be, what is the position of the young man in the world, what does he want – and what is left a few years later of such an emotional punch that made him who he is?”

The guys were joined at the event by Armie‘s wife Elizabeth Chambers, their co-star Esther Garrel, and the film’s director Luca Guadagnino.

Armie rejoined Twitter that day after a two-month break. He decided to deactivate his account after he slammed a Buzzfeed article about him that he called “bitter AF.”

“Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes…” Armie tweeted upon reactivating his account. “They should put a blood alcohol measuring device on cell phones to keep you from drunkenly reactivating your Twitter…”

Armie‘s Twitter bio now says, “What… you thought I was done?!”

FYI: Armie is wearing a Montblanc timepiece. Elizabeth is wearing a Giorgio Armani dress.

Timothee Chalamet has released a statement reacting to his Academy Award nomination!

The 22-year-old is officially the youngest Best Actor in almost 80 years to score a nomination. He’s up for his role in Call Me By Your Name.

“Wow, what an incredible morning. I’m a bit in shock. The feeling of gratitude I have at the moment has less to do with individual achievement and more with the appreciation for the artists past honored in this category and all of the nominees of this year,” Timothee told Entertainment Weekly. “I am in awe of the pedigree of the Academy. I am truly honored.”

“I’ve been traveling with Armie Hammer the last twelve hours. We land in two hours and we will be back in Italy together for the first time in a year and a half. Tonight we’re getting dinner with Luca Guadagnino,” Timothee added. “Without Luca’s true mastery and vision, and without Armie’s trust and guidance, without the public arts funding that made my high school education at LaGuardia possible, I wouldn’t be in this position. Thank you to those that made this possible, and the Academy, for this recognition.”

Jennifer Lawrence has booked a job with one of the hottest directors in town – Luca Guadagnino!

The 27-year-old Oscar-winning actress and four-time nominee will star in the upcoming movie Burial Rites, which will be directed by the Call Me By Your Name filmmaker.

Burial Rites is based on Hannah Kent‘s novel and follows “Agnes Magnusdottir (Lawrence), the last woman to be publicly executed in Iceland in 1830.” She was executed for killing two men and setting their home on fire.

“Luca is a rare talent. His movies capture an exquisite sense of place inextricably linked to the emotional state of the complex characters he creates,” TriStar president Hannah Minghella said in a statement to Variety. “I can’t imagine a more thrilling partnership than Luca and Jennifer coming together to bring Agnes’ beautiful and tragic story to life.”
