Rutger published: Josh O’Connor No Longer Attached to Luca Guadagnino’s Upcoming Film: Here's the Scoop

Josh O'Connor steps away from Luca Guadagnino's film, *Separate Rooms* Actor Josh O'Connor won't be gracing our screens in Luca Guadagnino's much-anticipated movie, *Separate Rooms*. While earlier buzz touted him as a frontrunner, it's now clear that he won't be partaking in this cinematic journey.

O'Connor and Guadagnino: A creative partnership Josh O'Connor, celebrated as a masterful actor, has shared creative space with Guadagnino before, notably in *Challengers*. Remember that gripping portrayal? He was Patrick, a tennis star entangled in a fierce rivalry with Art, played by Mike Faist, and a complex romance with Tashi Duncan, portrayed by Zendaya. It's safe that say O'Connor left audiences quite mesmerized.

The narrative behind *Separate Rooms* This year, whispers spread about O'Connor joining *Separate Rooms*. The film, inspired by Pier Vittorio Tondelli's novel, paints a picture across Europe, weaving through Leo's life, an Italian writer, and his deep bond with Thomas, a pianist he meets amidst Parisian charm. Their tale? A passionate love story with a somber twist.

Why O'Connor exited O'Connor shed light on his exit in a heartfelt interview, pointing out Guadagnino's relentless work schedule as a factor. When asked about his involvement, he quipped, "Sadly, no. Luca's always got something cooking. He should be busy, though. We chat a lot. He might make it happen, but it'll be without me."

Onward and upward: What's on O'Connor's horizon Fans might feel a twinge at his departure, but O'Connor's career isn't slowing down. He's slated alongside Paul Mescal in *The History Of Sound*, a period drama promising both intimacy and intrigue.

Luca Guadagnino's upcoming ventures As O'Connor moves on, Guadagnino isn't missing a beat. Word has it he's diving back in with a new take on Bret Easton Ellis's *American Psycho*. This novel, infamous in its own right, has already seen life as a film with Christian Bale and a stage musical with Matt Smith.

Resonance with queer cinema O'Connor's knack with layered characters keeps audiences hooked, and his future projects are eagerly awaited. While his absence from *Separate Rooms* might sting, it opens doors wide open. Who'll step in as Leo and breathe life anew from Tondelli's vivid pages? Both O'Connor and Guadagnino remain powerhouses in cinema, fueling stories that delve deep, challenge, and connect us. Their upcoming offerings promise more narratives that will nudge our hearts and minds. For those who admire both O'Connor and Guadagnino, it might be wise stay tuned. This twist in their collaborative journey provides much food thought about its implications in queer cinema and storytelling. What're your thoughts? Share them, and let's foster a respectful, enlightening dialogue.
