Jacob Elordi grew up performing in school plays in Australia before making it big in Hollywood, and his best movies and television shows demonstrate that he has what it takes to carry a project on his shoulders. He only recently made his professional acting debut, in 2018, with movies in both Australia and the United States, so his filmography is not as extensive as some of his costars. He might not have very many acting credits to his name, but he does have a good variety of credits. Elordi has appeared in teen comedies, biographical dramas, satires, and tear-jerking dramas. Not all of his movies have been the most successful, but they have provided stepping stones for his career, and his best movie and TV roles provide a showcase for the kind of performer he is growing into.

Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Is Grisly and Lush in First Footage of Jacob Elordi’s Monster The Oscar winner’s monster mash comes out this November Netflix revealed the first footage from Guillermo del Toro’s passion project, “Frankenstein,” which he wrote, directed and produced. And it is a doozy. As part of Wednesday’s Next on Netflix event in Los Angeles, the streaming giant previewed a little more than two minutes of footage from the upcoming movie, which will debut this November. The footage opens with Dr. Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) attempting to reanimate a partial corpse in an operating theater. A bunch of Victorian doctors tut-tut his experiment, which involves a torso and head (it almost looks like a classic automaton). Christoph Waltz shows up saying that he will give the frazzled young doctor unlimited resources, and we see Frankenstein surveying a battlefield, picking out parts. (There is a particularly grisly moment where we see the doctor slicing through muscle like it’s roast beef.) There are glimpses of the operating table and the creature, all cobbled-together. The doctor pounds violently on the chest of the monster, but it will not wake up. Then Frankenstein wakes in fright and there, at the end of his bed, is the creature played by Jacob Elordi. That begins a montage of images – a woman in a casket, a castle in the ice, and finally, a better look at the creature’s face, as he says to a group in a bar, that he is going to “tell his story.” The creature looks heavily inspired by the illustrations of Bernie Wrightson, which was first published by Marvel Comics in 1983 – stringy black hair, his face and body thin and sinewy, with deep, soulful eyes. Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” looks lush and operatic; the closest thing in the filmmaker’s catalogue is probably 2015’s underrated Gothic romance “Crimson Peak.” “Frankenstein” comes alive this November.

Jacob Elordi in Talks to Replace Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott’s ‘The Dog Stars’ (EXCLUSIVE) The future is looking brighter again. Jacob Elordi is in early negotiations to star in Ridley Scott‘s post-apocalyptic thriller “The Dog Stars” for 20th Century, replacing Paul Mescal, who ran into scheduling issues. Mescal, who stars in Scott’s “Gladiator” sequel, had been poised to star in the film about a catastrophic flu virus that wipes out nearly all of humanity. But he was forced to drop out due to filming Sam Mendes‘ Beatles anthology. Based on a 2012 novel by Peter Heller, the “Dog Stars” screenplay was written by Mark L. Smith (“Twisters”) and is expected to be Scott’s next film after a Bee Gees biopic for Paramount. If his deal closes, as is expected, Elordi would play a pilot named Hig who befriends a cranky gunman as they try to outlast a roaming band of scavengers called Reapers.

Your Roundup of New Movies: Richard Gere and Jacob Elordi Play the Same 28-Year-Old in “Oh, Canada” OH, CANADAAt first glance, Leonard Fife diverges from the Paul Schrader archetype we know from films like Taxi Driver (1976) and First Reformed (2018). The protagonist of Oh, Canada is an acclaimed documentarian, not an alienated insomniac hunched over a journal. But make no mistake, Leonard (Richard Gere) needs the same thing all Schrader men do—absolution—and his only pathway is confession. In this case, the cancer-stricken filmmaker makes his “final prayer” to a film crew of his former students (Michael Imperoli and Victoria Hill), while his wife Emma (Uma Thurman) looks on, disturbed at the aching length and depth of Leonard’s testimony. His memories, flashbacks within flashbacks, are where Oh, Canada discovers the cinematic reason to adapt Russell Banks’ novel Forgone. In his half-lucid recollections, Leonard is played by Jacob Elordi but then sometimes also still by Gere, who at 75 years old remarkably embodies a better 28-year-old than he does a dying old man. Oh, Canada undulates too much between staid and loopy to belong atop the Schrader canon. His reunion with Gere 45 years after American Gigolo is full of beguiling handjobs but also impressively invented footage from all the times Leonard spoke truth to the Catholic Church or U.S. military with his documentaries. But it delivers on a powerful theme—that people want to be truly seen before the end—especially for the things they did when no one was around to film it.  R. CHANCE SOLEM-PFEIFER.  Amazon Prime Streaming, Apple TV.
