Directed by Michael Grandage from a script from Oscar-nominated Ron Nyswaner, who also penned Philadelphia and Freeheld, the film looks set to be a powerful story of love, sexuality and longing. And it certainly looks like a unique acting challenge for Styles too, who reportedly stunned Grandage when they first met to discuss the film.

“He had read the script so many times that he knew every single beat of it at that meeting,” he told Vanity Fair.

“I found that incredibly impressive. He knew other people’s lines; he knew all of his lines. He knew why he wanted to talk about it, why one scene worked this way and another worked.”
