The producers are Andrew Kortschak, Lisa Ciuffetti, and Andrea Roa.

In fact, the film centers on two young men, Lionel (Mescal) and David (O'Connor), who "set out to record

the lives, voices, and music of their countrymen" during WWI. "In this rapturous and ephemeral moment

Paul Mescal is attached to 'The Beatles' biopics

in their young lives, and as they discover the epicness of America, both men are profoundly changed."

Besides, the principal photography will begin in summer 2022, predominantly in the U.S. and on

location in the U.K. and Italy. “Working with Oliver, Ben, Paul, and Josh is an immense privilege,” said Kortschak.

The first trailer for 'GLADIATOR II' has been released.

“We are all struck by Ben’s beautiful and resonant short story, exploring love, loss, and memory.

We are beyond excited to adapt this story for the screen with this incredible team.”

Finally, this is not the first time we have seen Josh in a gay romance, as he previously starred in

God's Own Country (2017) as Johnny Saxby alongside Alec Secăreanu.
