The Queer Romance Film On Swift Horses
In the newly released queer romance film On Swift Horses, directed by Daniel Minahan, Diego Calva stars alongside Jacob Elordi in a steamy romance that has audiences talking. But what viewers might not know is the physical toll filming those scenes took on Calva.
The Challenges of Filming Nude Scenes with Jacob Elordi
Calva, a Golden Globe nominee, recalled suffering from “neck pain” while kissing his 6’5″ scene partner Jacob Elordi in some steamy scenes. “There was one scene where I realized how tall Jacob was, and it was my first time acting looking up,” he told Attitude. “He was laughing at me! He’s way taller – I had like a neck pain for the first week from just kissing.”
But it wasn’t just the physical demands of filming those scenes that intimidated Calva. He also admitted to being intimidated around his co-star in their nude scenes. “Believe me, being naked around Jacob Elordi is intimidating! He’s like a fucking god! He’s too perfect! … It’s hard not to do a hot scene with Jacob shirtless!”
In On Swift Horses, Muriel (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and husband Lee (Will Poulter) begin a new life together in California after he returns home from the Korean War. But the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother Julius (Elordi) threatens to upend their new home.
As Muriel sparks an affair with her neighbor Sandra (Sasha Calle), Julius moves to Las Vegas and finds work in a casino, where he begins his own romance with co-worker Henry (Calva).
Beyond On Swift Horses
Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Campaign for the American Psycho Adaptation
Patrick Schwarzenegger, known for his recent turn on HBO’s The White Lotus, is once again setting his sights on the coveted role of Patrick Bateman, which was previously portrayed by Christian Bale in the 2000 feature film based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel.
“I’d love nothing more ;)”” wrote Schwarzenegger to a fan on X who suggested he be cast in the Lionsgate project. Schwarzenegger previously declared it would be “my dream” to play Bateman when the adaptation was announced in October, to be penned by Scott Z. Burns.
The Significance of Luca Guadagnino’s Upcoming American Psycho Project
American Psycho was a groundbreaking and controversial work when it was published in 1991, not only for its iconic Manhattan investment banker-turned-serial killer but also for its incredible attention to detail for the world it was entering, as well as the graphic violence its main character delivered, leading to it being censored in several countries.
While the first film starring Bale and directed by Mary Harron has gained a following over the years, sources say that rather than a remake, Guadagnino’s film will be a new adaptation of Ellis’ novel. The property is something the studio has been trying to crack for some time, and following recent meetings with Guadagnino, execs felt he was the perfect choice to bring a fresh take.
