Reportedly, it's a miniseries adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' 'The Shards'.The pair were spotted having lunch in Venice last week, presumably to discuss the project. The novel’s synopsis reads: “Seventeen-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret’s obsession with Mallory is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them—and Bret in particular—with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence.”
He's also been cast opposite Richard Gere in Paul Schrader's next offering, 'Oh, Canada' - MattsbySo, what do you think? Will you be watching?

Elordi is 26 years old....why does he still want to be playing 17 year olds It's a hard enough trap to get out of, considering how he became known for playing a teenager on Euphoria. Directors and casting agents will have a difficult time seeing him as "older" (if not his actual age) if he doesn't fully escape the "teen" casting bracket soon. Yeah, this sounds like a very interesting project with an interesting filmmaker, but if he and the people around him really believe he can go right to the top of the young leading man tree in Hollywood, being strategic and maybe saying a hard "no" to any project that requires him to play another high schooler, might be a wise move. Also, why doesn't Guadagnino just cast a teenager, or at least someone closer in years to a teen than a 6 foot 5, 26 year old?

pupdurcs - I'm not sure which character Guadagnino has in mind for him to play - I doubt it's the main character, Bret, just from gleaning the synopsis. I agree though that he has probably aged out of high school roles. He's very masculine too and projects older than his actual age, in my opinion - we'll see what his career has in store for him.
