Jacob Elordi is heading to the Great White North…
The 26-year-old half-Spanish Australian actor is starring opposite Richard Gere, Uma Thurman and Michael Imperioli in the drama Oh, Canada, written and directed by Paul Schrader.
An adaptation of the late Russell Banks’ 2021 novel Foregone, the film wrapped production under an interim agreement in October.
The film tells the story of Leonard Fife (Gere), a famed documentary filmmaker who takes stock of his life, with not long to go after being stricken with cancer at 80 years old. The most unreliable of narrators — and of men — Fife offers the viewer a look at his home life, as a draft-dodging artist who abandoned one family for another, consistently evading any sense of responsibility for actions as he starts a new life in Canada.
Thurman plays Emma, the present day spouse and creative partner of Gere’s character, Fife.
Elordi’s role has yet to be announced.
He can currently be seen in theaters in Saltburn and Priscilla. His other credits include Deep Water, The Kissing Booth franchise films and 2 Hearts.
