Gay Drama ‘The History of Sound,’ Starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, Won’t Release This Year, Aims for Cannes 2025 Premiere

We have recently reported that Ben Shattuck’s short story titled “The History of Sound” would be adapted in the form of a feature film. In case you forgot, the story tells us of a gay romance between two men who fall in love during World War I. The movie, as we have reported, is directed by South African filmmaker Oliver Hermanus, who is known for his LGBTQ+-themed films, and his filmography includes movies such as Shirley Adams (2009), Beauty (Skoonheid) (2011), The Endless River (2015), Moffie (2019), and Living (2022). And while we reported about filming being done, it seems that the movie won’t be released this year, as everyone expected.
We have promised you to report further on this story and we are fulfilling our promise here, as we are going to bring you the latest updates on the movie’s release, coming straight from Hermanus himself, who told us about...
