videos for this list we're going behind
the scenes of this critically acclaimed
film to give you the most interesting
insider details number five it's based
on a novel the story told in the film is
taken directly from aundrea Symons 2007
novel of the same name there are few
differences between the stories in each
medium with a few notable exceptions the
book is set at the end of the 80s in
1987 while the movie is set earlier in
1983 the novel is a memory piece and the
story is told by Elio at a later point
in his life whereas the film feels very
much tied to the present moment the book
was well reviewed and Hollywood
producers became interested in it before
it was even published number four it was
made on a tiny budget what do you do
around here three books transcribed
music with budgets for films put out by
major studios soaring you'll be
surprised to know that the production
budget for call me by your name was a
paltry 3.5 million dollars the setting
of most of the action is a beautiful
house in mutt Scott Sano in northern
Italy and in fact director Luca
Guadagnino had looked into purchasing
the home for himself before being told
that he couldn't afford it the next best
thing was shooting a movie there which
is exactly what he did
principal photography took place in just
over a month making the end result all
the more impressive number three that
scene almost didn't make the cut
cunning ways for the most part the plot
have called me by your name is somewhat
slow and meandering but there's one
scene that easily stands out as the most
memorable it probably made you cringe
and perhaps even caused you to cover
your eyes for fear of what would happen
next turns out both the director and
actor Timothy sha'lame were reluctant to
have the scene appear in the film
because of its explicit nature
so I've sex with a peach in this film
it's a great film not that I wouldn't be
fruit in every movie both of them
decided to test the technique on their
own time to see how effective it was and
ultimately decided to keep it in the
film Timmy you know I tried it and it
works of course we go like were you
never changing number 2 it was in
development for nearly 10 years year
after year the movie was happening until
it never happened because it was very
difficult to put it together after
reading an unpublished version of the
novel Hollywood producers Peter Spears
and Howard Rosenman secured the film
rights to the story in 2007 so why did
the movie release a full decade later
they had trouble finding the right
director for the project with Luca
Guadagnino initially declining due to
prior obligations the screenplay was
first drafted in 2014 and soon it would
be time to find actors in many ways it
feels like the project of my youth or
something because I've just been on the
periphery for so long armie hammer
actually meant Guadagnino nearly seven
years before the film was shot but
didn't hear from him for so long that he
assumed the meeting hadn't gone well
thankfully the stars finally aligned and
shooting began in the spring of 2016
[Music]
number one a sequel is being considered
if you finish the film wondering what
happened to both Oliver and Elio in the
months and years after the action
completed don't worry you are not alone
the book offers an epilogue telling
readers what happened to the main
characters over the next few decades and
director luca guadagnino has already
expressed interest in delving into these
stories in terms of a time in place he
has said that he's looking at the
beginning of Italy's Berlusconi era
which was a period that he thinks could
make for an interesting backdrop
nothing's official so we can only hope
and what is wrong with box away Bach
would have played Bach never wrote it
for the guitar in fact we're not even
sure boxer asked do you agree with our
