Josh O’Connor is one of the actors of the moment, as demonstrated by the number of major films he has starred in this year, such as “Challengers” by Luca Guadagnino and “La Chimera” by Alice Rohrwacher.
Although he has been in the industry for several years, it wasn’t until relatively recently that he began to be recognized as one of the promises of his generation, especially after portraying Prince Charles in “The Crown“.
As expected, he already has multiple confirmed projects on his agenda, and in one of them, he will reunite with the acclaimed Italian director with whom he shared his first experience in the romantic sports drama.
What are Josh O’Connor’s next projects?
Camere separate – TBA
“Camere separate” is the next romantic film that will be directed by Luca Guadagnino, based on a screenplay by Francesca Manieri, adapted from the novel written by Pier Vittorio Tondelli.
Josh O’Connor will play the role of Leo, while Léa Seydoux will join him in one of the main roles, which has not yet been revealed. At the moment, they are the only confirmed cast members.
The story follows the romance between Leo and Thomas, spanning Milan, Paris, London and Florence over three years. The project is currently in pre-production, so there is no exact release date yet.
This drama will be the second collaboration between Josh and the Italian director, as they previously worked together on “Challengers”, the romantic sports film that also starred Zendaya and Mike Faist.
Rosebushpruning – TBA
“Rosebushpruning” is a suspense drama that is currently in pre-production and will bring together Josh O’Connor with two of the most talented actresses in the entertainment industry: Kristen Stewart and Elle Fanning.
The plot portrays a family struggling with genetic illnesses and living on an estate. Personal issues unfold and blossom among them in this intimate portrait.
Karim Aïnouz is in charge of directing, while Efthimis Filippou is developing the screenplay, which promises to have a variety of elements, but especially many emotional moments and reflections.
The History of Sound – TBA
“The History of Sound” is probably one of Josh O’Connor‘s most anticipated projects, especially because we will see him sharing the screen with one of the most beloved actors in the acting world, Paul Mescal.
The story portrays a romance set during World War I, when two young individuals set out to record the lives, voices and music of their fellow Americans.
Oliver Hermanus has taken on the role of director, while Ben Shattuck is handling the screenplay, which will be filled with drama, chaos and romantic moments between the protagonists.
The cast includes a long list of well-known names, but among those who have stood out the most, in addition to Mescal and O’Connor, are Molly Price, Michael D. Xavier, Will Fitz, Brian Hutchison and Michael Schantz.
