Timothee Chalamet is '1000 per cent' ready for 'Call Me By Your Name' sequel

Actor Timothee Chalamet has said Armie Hammer and he are "1000 per cent" ready for the sequel of their hit film Call Me By Your Name.

Directed by Luca Guadagnino, Call Me By Your Name is a story of an unexpected first love between 17-year-old Elio Perlman (Chalamet) and 24-year-old American student Oliver (Hammer).

Ever since the film's release, there has been a talk of a sequel with the director also expressing his desire for a follow-up.

In an interview with Time Magazine, Chalamet, 22, said he is confident that the sequel will be made.

"I don't see any world where it doesn't happen... I think Andre (Aciman) is comfortable with a sequel being made. I know Luca really wants it. And I know Armie and I are 1000 per cent in," he said.

Talking about the sequel's story, Chalamet said it might take inspiration from Richard Linklater's Boyhood.

"I think it'll be a couple of years later. And I think that's cool, to take advantage of the 'Boyhood' style of storytelling. That isn't done all the time," he added.

Last month, Hammer had confirmed at the Toronto International Film Festival that a sequel to the film is in the works.
