Paul Mescal and Ayo Edebiri have sparked rumors of a potential collaboration after their recent St. Patrick’s Day outing together. Fans are speculating that the duo may be working on an upcoming film adaptation of one of author Emily Henry’s books.
Emily Henry, the author of popular novels such as Beach Read, People We Meet on Vacation, and Book Lovers, reposted a photo of Mescal and Edebiri on Instagram, further fueling the speculation. Of the three books set for forthcoming film adaptations, Book Lovers seems to be the most likely choice for the duo.
In March 2023, production company Tango Entertainment acquired the rights to adapt Book Lovers into a film, with Sarah Heyward set to write the script. Tango Entertainment previously produced the movie Aftersun, in which Paul Mescal starred and received an Oscar nomination. This connection has added to the excitement surrounding the potential collaboration between Mescal and Edebiri.
Book Lovers follows the story of a literary agent named Nora who crosses paths with a brooding book editor named Charlie while on vacation in North Carolina. The novel explores themes of love, vulnerability, and self-discovery, making it a compelling choice for a film adaptation.
While no official casting announcements have been made, fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of Mescal and Edebiri starring in the film together. Social media buzz has been abuzz with excitement, with many expressing their enthusiasm for the potential pairing of the two talented actors.
Although Book Lovers appears to be the frontrunner for the collaboration, some fans have also speculated about the potential adaptation of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. Regardless of the final choice, the prospect of seeing Mescal and Edebiri bring these beloved characters to life on the big screen has generated significant interest and anticipation among fans.
