I don't know if you kept checking back on my post of photos of Nicholas Hoult rocking this leather ensemble at the Met Gala the other week but if you only saw it the one time I recommend going back and scanning down as I went off. And with good reason! And I'm extremely thankful to've found even more photos from that blessed event today because we've got Nicky News to share and I wouldn't want to share it with any other photos. And it's super duper incredible Nicky News too. Hhe is teaming up with God's Own Country filmmaker Francis Lee -- right??? We're already excited -- to remake the 1963 Joseph Losey classic of homoerotic domination The Servant! (thx Mac) I only saw The Servant (which stars Dirk Bogarde and a delicious James Fox) this past year for the first time when Criterion released it and it is already hot hot hot stuff in that very restrained and coded way of its time -- wondering how Lee will update this all has me...
... feeling things. The same sort of things these pictures of Nicky wearing leather makes me feel, actually. Anyway I'm not even done with all the incredible news here -- Hoult (who's playing the Fox role of course) will be starring opposite Colman Domingo in the Bogarde role of the man-servant who flips the script on his boss-man. Lee's version will relocate the story from the Swinging 60s in London of the original movie to 1950s New York -- and the fact that race has entered the chat due to Colman's casting will surely add some wrinkles when it comes to the power dynamics between the two men. Anyway as if all of THAT wasn't enough (and it was!) Hamnet hottie Noah Jupe (click here, click here) is also in the cast. This is unfathomably awesome movie news to end the week with!
