Euphoria star Jacob Elordi is set to play the lover of Babylon’s Diego Calba in a new adaptation of On Swift Horses. The star-studded production also features Daisy Edgar-Jones, Will Poulter and Sasha Calle, according to Deadline.
Based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl, the film follows newlyweds Muriel (Edgar-Jones) and Lee (Poulter) as they begin a new life together when he returns from the Korean War. “However, this newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic younger brother, Julius (Elordi), a wayward gambler with a secret,” a description of the film reads.
