The film will follow Simon, ‘a gay teen who has not come out to his classmates. But when an email he sent to a boy (that he’s never met) falls into the wrong hands, he finds himself in a complicated situation when he’s blackmailed by the class clown.’ His blackmailer wants Simon to play cupid for him, but the teen is more interested in finding a way to come out to friends and family in a way where it doesn’t feel he’s being forced out.
Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger wrote the script for the movie, although it’s not clear when it might shoot. The likelihood is that with Berlanti still busy on his DC TV series, it will begin lensing once the latest seasons of Arrow, Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl have wrapped in the Spring.
