This week it was announced that actor Josh O'Connor ("The Crown") and writer/director Francis Lee ("God's Own Country," "Ammonite") are planning to work again, this time on a gay horror film. Before he became an international star as Prince Charles in "The Crown," Josh O'Connor starred as the gay sheep farmer who becomes involved with a male Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu). O'Connor went on to numerous acting nominations for the role, winning a British Independent Film Awards for Best Actor. The film was directed by Francis Lee, whose latest film is the lesbian period drama "Ammonite" that stars Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan (available for streaming on Hulu). "In a profile for Esquire, "the director revealed that Josh O'Connor, who led his remarkable debut film 'God's Own Country' will lead this project," wrote Film Stage. "While he wouldn't disclose the novel he's adapting for his third feature, it was noted it will touch on 'class and queerness,' following 'a sad young man alone in an epic wilderness.' Since 'God's Own Country,' O'Connor has starred in 'Emma' and 'The Crown.' " "The worlds he creates," O'Connor told Esquire about Lee's creative process, "he lives in for years, before filming, during filming and after. So many film-makers just go from project to project but the magic of Francis is he can't. I know it can be really painful for him, and traumatic, but ultimately it's healing. 'Ammonite' has had its struggles, as 'God's Own Country' did, but he has to go through that process to get bigger and better." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ???
