Jacob Elordi reportedly cast in The Executioner's Song adaptation

The career of actor Jacob Elordi may be taking a different turn, per JoBlo. According to their report, Elordi is now set to star in a big-screen adaptation of Norman Mailer's 1979 novel, The Executioner's Song.

This new commitment could have other implications. JoBlo suggests that taking on the lead role in this project might pull Elordi out of the running for a different coveted part. The outlet specifically mentions that this could affect his chances of landing the role of James Bond.

The film will be an adaptation of Mailer's Pulitzer-winning novel, which is a true-crime story about executed murderer Gary Gilmore. No release date or other casting details were provided in the report.
