HAMNET secures awards season release date

The unstoppable ascent of Paul Mescal’s career takes another impressive turn as Chloe Zhao’s highly anticipated film HAMNET secures a prime awards season release. Focus Features will debut the Shakespeare-era historical drama in limited release on November 27 before expanding nationwide on December 12, strategically positioning it between major blockbusters ZOOTOPIA 2 and James Cameron’s AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH.

The Irish actor, who first captured international attention with his breakout role in “Normal People,” continues to demonstrate his remarkable versatility. Currently delivering powerful performances off-Broadway in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, Mescal is simultaneously preparing for what might be his most high-profile role yet as Paul McCartney in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopic. This four-part epic will feature an impressive ensemble including Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson as John Lennon.

HAMNET, adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling 2020 novel that has sold two million copies and been translated into 40 languages, fictionalizes the life of Shakespeare’s son who died at a young age and explores the profound love story that ultimately inspired the creation of HAMLET. Mescal stars as William Shakespeare opposite Jessie Buckley as his wife Agnes, with Joe Alwyn portraying Bartholomew and Jacobi Jupe in the titular role of Hamnet.

The film represents a significant return for director Chloe Zhao, who made history as only the second woman ever to win the Oscar for Best Director with her 2020 masterpiece NOMADLAND. Zhao co-wrote the screenplay with O’Farrell herself and has assembled an extraordinary production team including heavyweight producers Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes.

Mescal’s co-star Jessie Buckley is experiencing her own career momentum, with her next role coming in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Frankenstein spinoff THE BRIDE! opposite Christian Bale. The pairing of these two formidable Irish talents in HAMNET creates extraordinary anticipation for what promises to be a deeply emotional historical drama.

As HAMNET prepares to make its mark during the competitive awards season, it further cements Mescal’s transformation from television breakthrough to genuine movie star. His thoughtful choice of challenging, prestige projects with acclaimed directors suggests an actor committed to crafting a career of substance and artistic merit rather than mere celebrity. With HAMNET’s release and the Beatles biopic on the horizon, Paul Mescal’s trajectory in cinema continues its meteoric rise with no signs of slowing down.

The Beatles biopic cast revealed

Beatles biopic cast revealed

Beatles biopic cast revealed

In a bold cinematic venture unlike any other, Sam Mendes has assembled an all-star cast of today’s most captivating young actors to bring the legendary story of THE BEATLES to life. This unprecedented project, officially titled THE BEATLES – A FOUR-FILM CINEMATIC EVENT, will feature Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.

The announcement, made at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on Monday, confirms what many fans had been eagerly anticipating. The audience at Caesar’s Palace was treated to heartfelt video messages from the four stars, with Mendes himself presenting the ambitious project. “THE BEATLES changed my understanding of music,” the 59-year-old filmmaker revealed. “I’ve been trying to make a movie about them for years.”

What makes this project revolutionary is its unique structure – four intersecting films, each told from the perspective of one band member, creating what Mendes describes as the “first bingable theatrical experience.” This marks a historic moment as Apple Corps Ltd. and the band have granted the rights to their life stories and music for the big screen for the first time. The films are scheduled for release in April 2028, with production expected to span an entire year.

The casting has generated particular excitement as it brings together some of the most celebrated young talents in film today. Mescal, known for his work in NORMAL PEOPLE and GLADIATOR II, will embody McCartney, while Dickinson of BABYGIRL and TRIANGLE OF SADNESS fame takes on the role of Lennon. Keoghan, who captivated audiences in SALTBURN, will play Starr, and Quinn, soon to appear in THE FANTASTIC FOUR, completes the quartet as Harrison.

“I’m honored to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies,” Mendes stated when first announcing the project in February 2024. This innovative approach to biographical storytelling promises to redefine cinematic experiences, offering audiences a comprehensive and immersive journey through the lives and music of the iconic British rock band that transformed popular culture forever.

Mescal in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

Mescal in A Streetcar Named Desire

Mescal in A Streetcar Named Desire

Tennessee Williams’ haunting classic A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE has returned to New York with fresh wounds and raw nerves, now playing at Brooklyn Academy of Music in a stripped-down London import starring Paul Mescal, the Irish actor whose meteoric rise continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Fresh from commanding the Roman arena in Ridley Scott’s GLADIATOR II, Mescal brings a youthful vitality and magnetic presence to Stanley Kowalski, the role immortalized by Marlon Brando. His performance stands as testament to his remarkable versatility, seamlessly transitioning from epic historical blockbusters to intimate psychological drama with the confidence of an actor far beyond his years.

Rebecca Frecknall’s minimalist production—running a brisk three hours—reduces Williams’ humid New Orleans setting to its bare essentials: a square platform suggesting a boxing ring without ropes, surrounded by darkness. A percussionist perched above the stage punctuates moments of tension and violence like audible manifestations of Blanche’s deteriorating psyche. This stark approach, which might have been electrifying in a smaller venue, sometimes struggles to connect across the expansive Harvey Theater, creating a self-conscious distance that works against the play’s inherent intimacy.

Patsy Ferran’s Blanche DuBois trembles on the edge of sanity throughout, her jittery portrayal emphasizing the character’s fragility and impending psychological collapse rather than lingering in her faded Southern glamour. Unlike other recent productions—the 2009 Sydney production with Cate Blanchett that sold out BAM but never reached Broadway, or the disappointing 2005 and 2012 Broadway revivals with Natasha Richardson and Nicole Ari Parker respectively—this interpretation refuses to indulge in Blanche’s delusions of gentility or invite the audience to share in her fantasies.

Frecknall, who previously divided critics with her Broadway revival of CABARET, opts for stylized movement and percussive punctuation over the dreamy, poetic atmosphere traditionally associated with Williams’ work. The violence feels gratuitous at times, the concept heavy-handed. Yet Mescal’s presence grounds the production, his Stanley representing another impressive credential in a career that has rapidly evolved from indie darling in NORMAL PEOPLE to commanding Hollywood star. As he continues this remarkable trajectory between stage and screen, this STREETCAR ultimately serves as further evidence of Mescal’s extraordinary talent and range, even when the production surrounding him fails to fully realize Williams’ tragic vision of desire and delusion in the American South.

THE HISTORY OF SOUND update

Mescal in THE HISTORY OF SOUND

Mescal in THE HISTORY OF SOUND

In a groundbreaking acquisition, streaming platform Mubi has secured rights to THE HISTORY OF SOUND, the highly anticipated gay First World War romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, with theatrical release plans confirmed for late 2025. The film, which wrapped production earlier this year, chronicles the journey of two young men, Lionel (Mescal) and David (O’Connor), who embark on a mission to record the voices and music of Americans against the backdrop of WWI, ultimately falling in love along the way.

Director Oliver Hermanus describes THE HISTORY OF SOUND as a “true passion project” that has occupied five years of his life alongside the film’s stars. “I could not be more thrilled to have found partners in MUBI in North America and Focus and UPI internationally,” Hermanus told Variety, adding that “they champion the cinema I love.” The director previously revealed to Gay Times that Mescal and O’Connor were “on fire” during filming, noting their friendship and genuine investment in the project: “They love and care about THE HISTORY OF SOUND.” Both actors will reportedly showcase their singing talents in the film.

THE HISTORY OF SOUND represents a significant career milestone for Mescal, marking his first executive producer credit and his first project following his starring role in GLADIATOR II. The screenplay, adapted by Ben Shattuck from his award-winning short story, explores themes of grief, companionship, and the transformative power of music during one of history’s most turbulent periods.

Despite the excitement surrounding the project, O’Connor has expressed “mixed feelings” about portraying a gay character as a straight man, though he was deeply moved by the script’s emotional core. The film arrives during an era when LGBTQ+ cinema has gained significant mainstream recognition, collecting major awards and critical acclaim.

With production companies End Cue, Fat City, Film4, Closer Media, Tango Entertainment, and Storm City Films all contributing to the project, THE HISTORY OF SOUND represents a collaborative effort years in the making. As audiences await the announcement of its world premiere in the coming months, the film stands poised to continue the tradition of powerful queer narratives finding their place in contemporary cinema.

Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated sequel to the legendary GLADIATOR has stormed both theaters and digital platforms, marking a new chapter in the epic saga of Ancient Rome. Released digitally on December 24, this cinematic powerhouse has already crossed the $400 million mark globally, proving itself as Scott’s most successful venture since THE MARTIAN in 2015. The film’s impressive performance isn’t just reflected in its box office numbers – it has earned the respect of both critics and audiences, garnering a 72% critics score and an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Set in the richly detailed world of Ancient Rome fifteen years after the events of the original film, GLADIATOR II weaves a compelling narrative of power, vengeance, and honor. The story follows Lucius (Paul Mescal), whose life takes a dramatic turn when his homeland falls to Rome’s tyrannical emperors. Having witnessed the legendary Maximus’s death at his uncle’s hands years before, Lucius finds himself thrust into the blood-soaked arena of the Colosseum. His journey becomes a quest not just for personal revenge, but for the very soul of Rome itself.

The sequel boasts an extraordinary ensemble cast that includes Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, and Derek Jacobi, each bringing gravitas and intensity to their roles. While the film’s first half might echo familiar beats from its predecessor, it’s in the latter half where it truly finds its unique voice and begins to carve its own path in the annals of epic cinema. The story transforms into something entirely fresh, moving beyond mere homage to become a distinctive and compelling narrative in its own right.

What makes GLADIATOR II particularly noteworthy is its accessibility to both newcomers and fans of the original. While knowledge of the first film enriches the experience, the sequel stands confidently on its own merits, telling a story that resonates with themes of revenge, redemption, and the eternal struggle between tyranny and justice. As Lucius navigates the treacherous waters of Roman politics and the brutal arena of gladiatorial combat, the film builds towards a climax that honors its predecessor while blazing new trails in epic storytelling.

For those eager to experience this continuation of the GLADIATOR saga, the film remains available both in theaters and across various digital platforms, offering viewers the flexibility to choose their preferred viewing experience. Whether witnessed on the big screen or in the comfort of home, GLADIATOR II proves that even after two decades, the allure of Ancient Rome’s grandeur and brutality continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

In the sultry heat of New Orleans, Blanche DuBois arrives at her sister Stella’s apartment, seeking refuge with nowhere else to turn.

Stanley, portrayed by Mescal with what The New York Times calls “swagger and sensitivity,” begins to unravel the carefully woven threads of Blanche’s past. As her meticulously constructed façade begins to crumble, the production reveals the dark undercurrents that pulse beneath the surface of one of America’s greatest plays.
