[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] The sequel to the film 'Call Me by Your Name' (2017) is expected to see the return of actors Armie Hammer and Timoth?e Chalamet, along with other cast members. However, director James Ivory, who was responsible for the screenplay, will not be joining the project.

According to Italian media La Repubblica on the 30th of last month (local time), Luca Guadagnino, the director of 'Call Me by Your Name,' revealed in an interview that Armie Hammer and Timoth?e Chalamet will reprise their roles in the sequel.

Guadagnino stated, "Before Italy was locked down due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), I was planning to visit the United States for a meeting with the screenwriter I had in mind." He did not disclose the writer's name.

He added, "Unfortunately, all plans were canceled due to the COVID-19 situation. Of course, Timoth?e Chalamet, Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg, Esther Garrel, and other actors are expected to appear in the sequel as well. I am happy to be working with them again."

However, since Guadagnino is currently quarantined in Milan, it seems that production will take some time.

Meanwhile, 'Call Me by Your Name' is based on a novel and depicts the romance between Elio (played by Timoth?e Chalamet) and Oliver (played by Armie Hammer). At the 90th Academy Awards in 2018, it won the award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated in four other categories including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Original Score. At that time, Timoth?e Chalamet attracted attention as the youngest nominee for Best Actor.
