Call Me by Your Name 2 Is Being Planned

Is it about Armie Hammer's character getting arrested for diddling kids?

I'm sure I'll watch this, but to be honest, I didn't really see this as a film that needed further storytelling. I was pretty much fine with how it ended.

I might be wrong, because I was very young in 1983 and law has changed, but, if I don't remember badly, sex between an adult and an underage girl/boy was against the law back then unless the age difference was less than 3 years. I haven't seen the movie, but I read the guys are 17 and 24. It meant jail for the adult.

It works perfectly fine as a stand-alone story and the ending wraps it up nicely, but I'd love to revisit these characters a few years down the line, especially as Aciman's novel does continue several years into the future after the point the film left things at. Not drawing comparisons to the Before trilogy here is basically impossible, but having Elio and Oliver reunite a few years later opens up numerous thematic possibilities, especially if Guadagnino and Aciman are as successful as Linklater, Delpy and Hawke were in exploring the passage of time and the bittersweet contrast between the idealized romance of youth and the complications of real everyday life.

I love this idea, provided they do it well. I'd hate for a bad sequel to overshadow a brilliant film that works just fine on its own. Hoping for the best.

If the police or the Court for the rights of minors knew about it, you're automatically put under arrest. And if it turns out parents allowed it, they're sent to prison as well. This law is to protect kids from adults that could take advantage of their young age.

Hopefully Hammer improves as an actor by then.
