Cast

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 Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor.[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 Mescal and O'Connor'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] O'Connor and Mescal were subsequently photographed in costume for the first time.[9]
