Production

Hermanus landed the job of director just as the COVID-19 pandemic started and developed the script with Shattuck during lockdown from his home in Barrydale, South Africa.[1] At the end of October 2021, the film was announced along with its leads Josh O'Connor and Paul Mescal.[2] Producers include Lisa Ciuffetti, Andrew Kortschak, and Andrea Roa.

In January 2023, it was confirmed casting for supporting roles was underway.[3]

Principal photography was originally going to take place on location in the United Kingdom, United States, and Italy in summer 2022,[2] but was postponed due to O'Connor and Mescal's scheduling conflicts.[4] Production was rescheduled for after Hermanus completed Mary & George,[5] starting in Massachusetts.[3] In January 2024, it was reported principal photography would begin soon;[6] it officially commenced on 28 February as confirmed by Hermanus.[7]

Crew allegedly attached to The History of Sound were spotted at the restaurant 10th & Willow in Hoboken, New Jersey, which was closed for filming in early March.[8]

Release

CAA Finance Media will distribute the film in the United States, whilst the London-based Embankment Films is handling international distribution.[9]
