LOL! Understood.
CMBYN really moved me, such a sweet film. I often mentioned that it also served as a Best of Italy tourism video. LOL!

If there ever is a sequel, it will be a while off. I think Timmy needs to age and I am not quite sure where they will go with it. But I'll definitely read Andre's follow-up. Being on the CMBYN FB page, I see quite a lot who this movie meant a lot too, it was very personal to some. But like you mentioned Simone, Timmy and Armie have to move on with their careers. It will always mean a lot to them, when they look back. It was clearly a special experience for them making it. I loved the movie for what it was and I am so glad it introduced me to Timmy and Armie, as I didn't know either of them beforehand. But I am excited for the projects they have done since (like Beautiful Boy) and what is in their futures!

I love the book and the film, too. I'd like to go back to its world, see the character's life all along. Maybe André Aciman's next book will grant all the experience I had about the book, maybe in a seasoned or improved way, or no, whatever. Maybe the sequel, too. But if any of the component - the good story, the commitment of the actors, Luca and so on - of the previous one is absent, it will be no good filming the sequel.

Yes, everyone would have to be on board to do it. If any of them said "no," it is a mute point. And the script would have to be really good. I would hate for them to do it and it doesn't compare to the original. But I do trust everyone involved and think they can do a great job. But who knows if it will ever happen though. I've gotten to the point that I am not expecting it to happen. If it does, than I'll be pleasantly surprised! But the book goes up to Elio being 37, so it would have to wait a while, I would imagine. Timothee looks nowhere close to that age, even if they wait a few years.

Timmy would have to be in his early 40s to convincingly look to be in his late 30s. By that time, Timmy will be a bonafide world renowed actor/movie star, and a sequel to a gay Indie may be off the tables of consideration. If Armie's next film project is a career/game changing role which will contract him to possibly two or more films, I don't see him being available to be Oliver again, and he sure won't be replaced.

Not 24 hours later, Andre Aciman has announced the title of the follow up book to CMBYN, 'Find Me'. It is set in the 'distant' future where Elio's parents are, gasp, divorced, and his father is 'finding himself', and Elio is a classical pianist who settles into a relationship as well (don't know male or female). Meanwhile, Oliver is a professor in the US and he considers traveling to Europe now that he has two grown sons. This has got to be 25 years in the future.

Simone, I couldn't agree with you more about Call Me By Your Name and tourism for Italy. While I was watching the movie, I wanted to go back to Italy so bad. You will have an amazing time!
And I find it hilarious after that discussion news comes out about the first books sequel. The plotline is intriguing. But I honestly didn't think it would be set that far into the future. I was thinking a decade rather than more.

I think this is the beginning steps of where the book and the actors who played Elio and Oliver, deviate so much to the point of no return. The plot is like, two decades in the future. Because of Timmy's age, there's no way he will be interested in doing this 15 years from now. |

Oh, I can't wait for this book. It became one of my favourites in a moment, when I read it. But I'm a little bit confused. Sami is dead twenty years later at the end of the CMBYN. Maybe we'll read about memories in FM similar to CMBYN or something alike.

It couldn't be that far ahead and the book ended at Elio being 37 and Samuel had passed away I think 6 months before. And didn't they mention Annella may have been suffering from mental illness, at that point. Oliver was 44 and I remember it said his boys were almost grown up (same as they mentioned for this new book). So maybe the sequel is 15-18 years or so ahead, so Elio is around 32-35, maybe right before Samuel passes away?? Andre has to have the sequel make sense in relation to his CMBYN book.
Luca mentioned having the movie sequel be when Elio (and Timmy) would be around 25 but this makes no sense now with Andre's sequel. We are clearly getting a book sequel but who knows if the movie sequel will happen or not.

We are clearly getting a book sequel but who knows if the movie sequel will happen or not. You raise a good point Tracy. I have suspicions that the new book may be written in a way to aid in providing an alibi as to why a sequel film will not be made. Character development will not be in alignment with the actor's age/appearance. I don't care what Hollywood makeup magic you do with Timmy's face, ain't no way that kid can look in his mid to late 30s within 5-6 years from now. And I bet $100 that neither actor will be "available" for a sequel in 2029. |

I think the story and timeline of the book and the film (if...) wouldn't be the same. Luca said he imagined a chronicle of the characters (maybe with more films?). The timeline of the book is actually unknown in the distant future. It's sure that Aciman is determined by the end of the book, the 'twenty years later'. Luca is not. Luca would shoot a film without it, the story would take place just 3-4 years after the first movie ends and without the meeting of Elio and Oliver. Okay,I must admit, it would be strange. And then Luca would shoot another film adapting Aciman's second book. Or Luca would shoot a second film from the beginning of the second book which would be a memoir within the 'twenty years later'. I'm just creating theories about the connectedness of the book and the film and I have several scenarios  Sooner or later we'll see it/them. The book for sure. |

Yep, it is definitely confusing. The CMBYN movie was based on Andre's book. So then if Luca does a sequel where Elio/Timmy are 25'ish, he clearly can't use Andre's 2nd book, so Luca would have to write it himself? Seems odd to me. I am definitely looking forward to Andre's book but at this point, have no idea how Luca would do a sequel. I have my doubts it will even get done now as Andre and Luca's timelines are definitely off.

Yes, at this time André's book is sure and I'm looking forward to it, too. 7 months waiting.
