Elordi,who is on the cover of the latest issue ofGQ and last week co-hosted the magazine’s Man of the Year awards in Los Angeles,is now in the midst of the purplest patch of his short career.
Saltburn,in which he plays the aristocratic Felix,has just opened in cinemas and is already gathering momentum as an awards-season contender. He also stars as Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’sPriscilla,which debuted at the Venice Film Festival in September and opens in Australian cinemas next January.
The 195-centimetre-tall actor has also filmed Paul Schrader’sOh Canada,alongside Richard Gere and Uma Thurman,and the feature filmOn Swift Horses,oppositeNormal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones. Both are reportedly in post-production.
Five-partTheNarrow Road to the Deep North is the latest local prestige offering from Amazon Prime Video,following its recent successes withDeadloch andThe Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.
Shaun Grant is writing and Justin Kurzel is directing. The award-winning pair are frequent collaborators,having worked together onSnowtown,NitramandTrue History of the Kelly Gang.
Elordi will play the younger Dorrigo Evans,an Australian soldier who is captured by the Japanese and used as slave labour on the construction of the Thailand-Burma Railway.
