Set in northern Italy in 1983, Call Me by Your Name takes us through a romantic relationship between 17-year-old Elio Perlman (Timothée Chalamet) and his professor father’s 24-year-old graduate-student assistant Oliver (Armie Hammer). Taking to Twitter, Armie Hammer reacted to Aciman’s confirmation with excitement on Twitter.

BOOOM!

Armie Hammer and co-star Timothée Chalamet have been quite vocal about wanting to reprise their roles of Oliver and Elio. “I know Luca [Guadagnino] really wants it. And I know Armie and I are 1000% in,” Chalamet said, according to a report in Time.

Armie Hammer, said back in September that a sequel “will happen because there are already people working on it and trying to make it happen.” Turns out, Hammer was absolutely on point when he said that.

Call Me By Your Name won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, while the film picked up nominations for Best Picture and Best Actor (Chalamet). The coming-of-age romantic drama film directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by James Ivory, is the final installment in Guadagnino’s thematic “Desire” trilogy, after I Am Love (2009) and A Bigger Splash (2015).
