The trailer for Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor‘s new movie has been released!
Paul, 29, and Josh, 35, star in the new romance movie The History of Sound, which will be released in theaters this fall.
Here’s the synopsis: “In 1917, Lionel (Mescal) — a young, talented music student—meets David (O’Connor) at the Boston Conservatory, where they bond over a deep love of folk music. Years later, Lionel receives a letter from David, leading to an impromptu journey through the backwoods of Maine to collect traditional songs. This unexpected reunion, ensuing love affair, and the music they collect and preserve, will shape the course of Lionel’s life far beyond his own awareness.”

While at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Paul called out the “lazy and frustrating” comparisons between the new movie and Brokeback Mountain.
The History of Sound hits theaters on September 12.
