The kissing booth : a successful trilogy on Netflix
In 2018, Netflix was launched The kissing booth, an unpretentious romantic comedy aimed at a young audience. We didn’t imagine at that moment that a phenomenon was emerging. However, many subscribers have become passionate about this story taken from from the novel of the same name by Beth Reekles. That of Elle, who develops feelings for Noah, the older brother of her best friend Lee. And this, despite the latter having specified that members of his family were forbidden to him.
Even if the press didn’t particularly encourage her The kissing boothVince Marcello’s film was a great success for the streaming platform, which then ordered it The kissing booth 2 (2020) e The kissing booth 3 (2021). A trilogy therefore, carried forward Joey King, Joel Courtney and Jacob Elordi. Young performers who have seen their popularity explode.
The Jacob Elordi case is interesting, because after these romantic films the actor immediately showed another face. He can be scary Euphoria (since 2019), before coming to the camp Elvis Presley inside Priscilla (scheduled for 2024) by Sofia Coppola. We could then say that he owes him a lot The kissing booth. However, the actor showed himself quite critical of the Netflix trilogy.
Jacob Elordi (Noah) didn’t want to make these films
In an interview given to GQNoah’s interpreter did not mince words calling these films “ridiculous”, emphasizing that they are not “universal”. Also, Jacob Elordi made it clearhe didn’t want to make this kind of film before being hired for.
I didn’t want to make these films before making them. These movies are ridiculous. They are not universal. They are an escape route.
He would therefore not have agreed to do so The kissing booth just because he needed to work. As explained in the article by GQThere is a pragmatic approach behind this, a philosophy of “one for them, one for me”. Or to please Hollywood by giving influential people what they expect from him, and then work on projects that he really cares about.
This too can be a trap. It could become 15 for them and none for you. And without original ideas you end up dying inside. But for me it was a beautiful dance. My “one for them”, I did it.
I’m not sure fans of The kissing booth I appreciate these comments from the actor. Nonetheless, Jacob Elordi today can be satisfied with having been able to collaborate Sofia Coppola and in other intriguing projects. We will see him soon in the psychological drama Salt burner, then in Paul Schrader’s next film, Oh, Canada. Before that, we will be able to find out in Priscilla on January 3, 2024.
