If your privates are ringing that's because the long awaited gay movie The History of Sound starring Josh O'Connor and Paul Mescal is currently filimg, right now, right this minute, in Italy, as these two photos of Mr. Mescal looking sharp as fuck on set today attest. I've been posting about this for ages, since the first whisper of it, but I only know a little bit -- it's set circa World War I and directed by Moffie and Living (and Mary & George) director Oliver Hermanus and, uhh, Josh O'Connor and Paul Mescal are gay for each other in it. What the hell else do we need to know?

Surprised he accepted a role where he can't have bangs to hide his hairline. You know he took Gladiator 2 because he could have a Caesar haircut.

Here's a link to the short story. Mostly set in 1916 and 1919 in New England when two music students meet and later spend a summer recording traditional folk tunes in rural Maine on wax cylinders.
Mescal plays the narrator Lionel, a voice student from Kentucky, who would be first 17 (1916) then 20 (1919). There are glimpses of his later life into his 70s. O'Connor plays the musicologist David in charge of the recording sessions. His age is not specified but he spends some time between the two encounters fighting in Europe in The Great War.
Not sure what Mescal is doing filming in Italy wearing that suit, but it's a very short story and like Brokeback Mountain's short story the screenplay could include additional elements from both of their lives.
Oops, my bad, Mescal's character takes a choir position in Rome in 1929 when he's 30
I am so surprised to see younger folks smoking these days.
I can see back in the '60s, '70s, and '80s but TODAY we know the ills of smoking.
One of my dating redlines was guys who smoked. I do not want to kiss an ashtray. Also when I was in my dating prime smoking was still allowed in gay clubs. I would go but not often because I didn't want to go home smelling like a pack of cigarettes.
