First look at Kissing Booth star's new rom-com
actor Galitzine praised the work of Tony Award-winning writer Matthew Lopez, who co-wrote the screenplay for the film alongside Ted Malawer, who will make his directorial debut in the film.
"We were all aware that we wanted to make a classic rom-com but with a sort of new spin," he said. "Matthew's a very sensitive, very feeling person, and we obviously wanted to inject our movie with that kind of emotionality. He had a great balance in being able to facilitate both lightness and emotion within his work."
Lopez spoke fondly of the LGBTQ+ representation in the novel: "I never imagined I'd read a book with a queer Latine character at the center - a character who is smart and passionate and flawed and hopeful. I think having this book in my life when I was younger might have made it a little easier. I knew immediately that I wanted to bring it to the screen."Best Entertainment and Tech Deals
