“Everyone deserves a great love story.”
A new trailer has been released for an upcoming tale of a teenage boy coming out as gay in high school directed by Greg Berlanti.
Love, Simon features Nick Robinson as Simon, a seventeen-year-old who is trying to find a way to tell his family and friends about his identity, and falls for a stranger online after sharing his story anonymously.
The trailer has sparked excitement online among fans of the Becky Albertalli’s acclaimed novel and the film’s source material, Simon vs. the Homo Sapeins Agenda.
The movie also stars Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel as Simon’s parents, who appear to be supportive of Simon’s sexuality rather than the crux of the film’s conflict – an all too common trope in LGBTI+ cinema.
Watch the trailer below.
Love, Simon hits Australian cinemas March 29.
