Andrew ScottandPaul Mescalcan be seen sharing intimate moments together, in new images fromAll of Us Strangersreleased byVanity Fair. The love story between Adam (Scott) and Harry (Mescal) will be a complicated one, full of mixed feelings before the couple can find any resolution to that what they’re actually trying to do.Andrew Haighdirected the upcoming movie, which is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters on December 22. The story is based onStrangers, a 1987 novel written byTaichi Yamada. However, a perplexing twist will get in the way of their romance.
WhileAdam and Harry fall in love, Scott’s character feels the need to go back to his childhood home. When he finally arrives to the old house, he finds his parents living there, looking as youthful as he does. This couldn’t be possible, since his parents had passed away in a violent accident when he was a kid, but instead of being horrified by the surprise, Adam merely embraces it and feels grateful for the opportunity of telling his parents what he’s done with his life. As an adult, Adam feels like there’s so much he wants to tell his family, while developing a relationship with Harry in the meantime.
Claire Foywill be in charge of portraying Adam’s mother, whileJamie Bellwill play his father. The director will focus on how the reunion will affect Scott’s protagonist, making use of how the odd circumstances of the premise give him freedom to use storytelling tools that wouldn’t be possible to execute with a realistic story. Shame, guilt and love will be deep in Adam’s thoughts, as he tells his parents as much as he can before thinking too hard about why they’re back in his life. Not even death could prevent this family from catching up every once in a while.
