Shia LaBeouf was almost cast opposite Timothée Chalamet in Call Me by Your Name, according to screenwriter James Ivory.
Luca Guadagnino
to major casting changes. According to Ivory, he was originally meant to codirect his script alongside Guadagnino. That is, until he “was dropped” from production. “The last time I saw Luca was before it began, in New York, when I still believed I was codirecting with him,” Ivory writes. “We joked about what might happen if we got into an argument on set, and laughed about it.” But before he could appear on set, Ivory was told that “Luca would be the sole director.
He recalls, “I didn’t care all that much. I could see that it might be very awkward sometimes to have two directors on the set. How would it look to the actors and crew if we had a dispute? Who then would be the real director when one of us had to give way? How many minutes of expensive shooting time would be lost as we argued?”
Ivory claims that LaBeouf met a similar fate during the casting process for the Oliver to Chalamet’s Elio. The writer recalls his initial doubts about LaBeouf’s ability to play an intellectual. “He’s an extremely good actor. But as an academic writing about the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, he would be a stretch,” Ivory writes. “Well, I thought, he would be a sort of diamond-in-the-rough-scholar type, like my friend Bruce Anawalt.
He continues, “Shia came to read for us in New York with Timothée Chalamet, paying for his own plane ticket, and Luca and I had been blown away. The reading by the two young actors had been sensational; they made a very convincing hot couple. But then, too, Shia was dropped. He had had some bad publicity. He’d fought with his girlfriend; he’d fended off the police somewhere when they had tried to calm him down. And Luca would not call him, or his agent.
