I have been so singlemindedly focused on the upcoming gay romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor (for obvious reasons) that I totally forgot we also had a forthcoming gay romance (sort of) starring Jacob Elordi and Diego Calva! I have posted about the movie before right here -- it's called On Swift Horses and today Vanity Fair has given us the first look (seen above, although cropped to avoid their annoying logo) and a chat with everybody involved, check it right here. The film also stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Will Poulter and honestly the description of the plot confounded me a little bit -- all that matters is this bit, I think:
"Elordi and Calva, who broke out in 2022’s Babylon, develop a steamy sexual chemistry that includes several rich, emotional, and explicit love scenes. “He’s a real cool customer,” Elordi says of Calva. “We had a week of intensive [prep] in the motel room, and [the director] gave us a lot of freedom to run around and to play and to find that love within those four walls.”"
This movie is premiering at TIFF so I guess we'll hear how steamy soon enough. Hopefully it's out in theaters before the end of the year. I don't like to wait for sexiness.

One more day till the world premiere. Very excited. The novel was one of my favorites of 2019, with its evocative multiple story lines set in different locations in the post-war American west. Terrence Malick would have been the ideal director. The film should be very atmospheric. Daisy Edgar Jones is the lead of the novel, but Elordi and Calva have the potential to set this on fire. It's worrying the film has been kept so under wraps, but apparently it has a prime venue and time slot tomorrow night so that could bode well.

I'm more interested in Will Poulter than Elordi and Calva. Is he in any sex scenes?
In the novel Poulter's character is the husband of Daisy Edgar-Jones and brother of Elordi. I remember the husband least of the main characters. More attention is spent on his wife and brother's interactions with other people. Poulter has a bit of a thankless role, unless they have changed things.
