Paul Mescal has been a busy man. Just a few days after celebrating the world premiere of Chloé Zhao’s “Port” on TelluridHe flew all over the country to attend the New York City premiere by Oliver Hermanus’ “The history of sound,” Who debuted Kanes Earlier this year, together with co -star Josh O’Connor. All this while in production for Sam Mendes’ Beatles Biopic and in off-and-on production for Richard Linklater’s “Merrily We Roll With.” Mr. Mescal, let’s hope you sleep!
“Port” Reviews have been revealedMint it an instant awards. “It’s been such a relief for all of us, you know,” Mescal told Indieview on the red carpet for his Mubi edition. “To have one film Premiere in all contexts is like giving a child out into the world and we are so, so happy that people seem to be, not (necessarily) respond positively, but people seem to understand the movie that we did as filmmakers. It is a great, great relief. ”
In the midst of their editions, Mescal is preparing to play Paul McCartney in Mendes’ four Beatles films, which will be released in theaters April 2028 as the first “bingable” movie experience. When it comes to whether he has linked to the real counterpart, Mescal revealed: “I have, yes. He is an extraordinary man, likes to spend some time – it is a crazy meaning to say that I have spent time with that man, even less play him.” When it comes to whether Mescal will make his own song in the films, he said, “Yes, yes, absolutely yes.”
In addition, he films Linklater’s decades long projects “Merrily We Roll With”, a project that he remained a little more closely sealed. “It’s one that he swears us to silence, because if we start talking about it now there will be nothing to talk about in 20 years, but I can say that he is one of my favorite directors in the world,” he said. “I go to Texas every couple of years and see him and see Beanie (Feldstein) and see legs (flat) and get to work with them. It is also such a crazy process that it is, as, so individual for me.”
“The History of Sound” made waves in Cannes for its delicate depiction of a love affair between Mescal and O’Connor’s characters. The former had nothing but praise for working with Hermanus: “Oliver made one of my favorite movies that I have seen in recent years,” Moffie. “
“I think he’s a real author,” he continued. “He just has such a clear way to attack on scenes and who these characters are, and he knows how to frame them and put them in the middle of the story. I loved working with him, he is one of my closest friends.”
“I have been very lucky with the actors I have worked with throughout my career, with Josh (O’Connor), Andrew (Scott), Jessie (Buckley), Saoirse (Ronan), Daisy (Edgar-Jones), where nothing was ever intentional when it comes to building a relationship (on the screen),” Mescal previously told IndieWire Creating chemistry with his co -star over an interview at the JW Marriott Hotel in Cannes the day before “The History of Sound” premiered at Palais.
“It’s either on their own two legs, or it doesn’t happen,” Mescal said. “With Josh it felt very comfortable. We knew each other and we had talked about the movie since 2020, so it was when we first originally joined. He is such a good soul. We are quite the same when it comes to the work that we like and is relatively similar to people. It first grew from there.”
