Jacob Elordi and Diego Calva are set to play lovers in the film adaptation of “On Swift Horses.”
Calva revealed the movie will include “sex and hot scenes” with Elordi. The “Babylon” breakout star and “Euphoria” heartthrob are set to star in Daniel Minahan’s adaptation of “On Swift Horses.” Calva teased to Variety that he has some “pretty hot scenes” with Elordi.
“It was so cool to work with him. He’s obsessed with photography, he’s obsessed with old plays,” Calva said of his co-star Elordi. “He loves Tennessee Williams, he loves Chekhov. He’s not the guy you maybe think he is. He’s such a cool actor. He’s just amazing. I feel very proud.”
Based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl, the story follows newlyweds Muriel and Lee who are beginning a bright new life when he returns from the Korean War. However, this newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother, Julius, a wayward gambler with a secret. A dangerous love triangle is quickly formed, as the three vow to start a new life together in California, but their bid for the American Dream is blown apart when Julius disappears and heads for Las Vegas instead. Muriel embarks on a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and discovering a love she never thought possible.
He added, “I don’t know if I can say this but we are going to have pretty hot scenes in this movie…You have to wait. But I think it will be a pretty cool movie.”
Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sasha Calle, and Will Poulter also star. The film is based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl which follows a newlywed couple who are caught up in a love triangle following the Korean War.
“I feel very proud. It’s my second lead character in an American movie,” Calva continued. “Daniel Minahan, the director, he directed shows like ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘House of Cards,’ he directed ‘Six Feet Under,’ one of my favorite shows. And I’m acting with Jacob Elordi, with Daisy Edgar-Jones, with Sasha Calle also. Let’s see what happens. And after that, go back to Mexico and make movies there.”
