Love, Simon (2018) - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

Showrunner Greg Berlanti is in talks to direct Fox 2000’s “Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.”

The project was set up last October with Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen at their Temple Hill company along with Pouya Shahbazian after Fox had acquired movie rights to Becky Albertalli’s coming-of-age novel.

Elizabeth Berger and Isaac Aptaker have adapted the script which follows a 16-year-old closeted gay student who is dealing with his secret being exposed after one of his personal emails falls into the wrong hands. The novel was published last year by HarperCollins.

An early 2017 start date is being eyed.

Sounds good but I'm kinda getting burnt out on these Fox Searchlight High School movies.

MazeRunner · 06-24-2017, 05:58 AM

Nick Robinson was cast as the lead, but he hasn't had good luck with young adult adaptations so far (5th Wave, Everything Everything both flopped). I always wanted to read this book.

MazeRunner · 11-29-2017, 05:09 AM

This looks so good.

CyberpunkCentral · 11-29-2017, 05:19 AM

Okay, now I'm interested.

MikeScott · 11-29-2017, 05:35 AM

I enjoy a good teen movie and this looks really good. I mean I won't lie, it does look just a tad cheesy. Especially the end of the trailer. But it still looks really enjoyable.

I'm hoping it's a success. I want it to do well so we can get more mainstream movies with focus on gay characters. Honestly I would LOVE to see a Nic Sparks type of movie with two people of the same sex getting a wide release for Valentine's Day. One with two name actors or actresses. I think that would be awesome. A friend dragged me to Safe Haven on Valentine's Day one year and I couldn't help but think that and it has been my dream ever since

That trailer kinda feels like Hollywood has just realised there are gay people.

This!! All of this. I’m really excited about this. Nick Robinson has been one of my crushes since Melissa and Joey and he’s my age. The film does look cheesy. But I’m here for something cute and kinda fluffy! Haha. I also really loved Safe Haven.

MikeScott · 11-29-2017, 07:54 AM

I didn't love Safe Haven but honestly, surprisingly, I didn't mind it. I was so against seeing it. I'd heard the twist and thought it sounded like the most hilarious, ludicrous thing ever. But I always pick the movies and my friend asked if I'd go with her so of course I said yes. Sparks movies always look beautiful. I'd love to see a gay romance get that treatment. No it wouldn't be high art but it would be nice just to have some well-done fluff.

Loved the book, trailer looks great!

MikeScott · 01-16-2018, 04:17 PM

I'm glad there's a new trailer but I almost think I prefer the first one.

MikeScott · 01-25-2018, 05:16 AM

A friend saw this at a screening tonight and said Fox has a sleeper hit on their hands. He gave it a 5/5 and said it's just a great movie. He said it all plays out rather realistically. He said it could be a contender for Best Adapted Screenplay next year (nothing else), but I think that would only happen if there are like 6 Adapted movies all year lol. Still sounds like a very good film. Don't see why it can't get a similar Rotten Tomatoes score to The DUFF, which was over 70%.

Really want this to do well. For one it will better the chances of my favorite young adult gay book (The Year of Ice by Brian Malloy) becoming a movie. I had talked to the author and the rights for one were bought years ago!

BluLamp · 01-25-2018, 02:19 PM

This looks charming based on the trailer, but I'm leery due to Berlanti's involvement. His seemingly endless parade of generic superhero shows have not encouraged me to become a fan.

MikeScott · 01-25-2018, 04:05 PM

This isn't a superhero movie though so it should be different. I watch none of his superhero shows. Not my thing. But still looking forward to this.

MazeRunner · 02-07-2018, 04:45 AM

Bought the movie tie-in book tonight at Target. Can't wait to read it. It looks like a quick read.

MikeScott · 02-07-2018, 05:23 AM

I would read the book but feel it will just ruin the movie for me so I'll just wait for the movie. Then maybe I'll give the book a read.

Kanica88 · 02-07-2018, 06:15 AM

Big fan of the book and Berlanti. Can’t wait for this!

MazeRunner · 02-09-2018, 06:56 PM

Finished the book last night. Loved it. After examining both trailers again, it makes me wonder if they're going to differ from the book.

Got invites to a sneak of this on Tuesday from AMC.
