The Ian Samuels-directed flick also stars Chrissy Metz, RJ Cyler, Kristine Froseth, Noah Centineo, Alan Ruck, and Lea Thompson.
The film is “a modern rom-com retelling of the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, set in high school. It centers on Sierra (Shannon), an intelligent teen who does not fall into the shallow definition of high school pretty but, in a case of mistaken identity that results in unexpected romance, must team with the popular girl (Kristine) in order to win her crush,” according to Variety.
We can’t wait!

After the Power Rangers movie hit theaters earlier this year, there was talk that there might be six films in total!
Star RJ Cyler recently revealed what he’d like to see with his character, the Blue Power Ranger, Billy.
“I would definitely like to see him fall in love in some way. That would be really cool,” RJ told ScreenRant.com. “Right now, everyone feels like Billy’s just gonna be this single kid for the rest of his life, and I’m like ‘No, Billy will find love someday, in his own time.’”
And as for that – SPOILER ALERT! – tease that the Green Power Ranger might be making an appearance, RJ said, “Billy still has that defensive little gate up, but he’s already let four other people into it, so it’s like he already broke that barrier. He’s going to welcome Tommy Oliver into the group, but that’s because the group are already on his side.”
“Billy will do whatever the rest of them do,” he added. “Even though it’s not something he might want to do, he always has his friends back. He’s a loyal person, so he’s like ‘Jason, if you’re cool with him, I’m cool with him. Trini, if you’re cool, I’m cool.’ He definitely would make sure that Tommy knew that Jason is our leader.”
Power Rangers actor RJ Cyler is one of Interview Magazine‘s stars on the rise in their special Youth in Revolt June/July issue.
The 22-year-old actor and nine other up-and-coming entertainers rounded out the list, which also included Eiza Gonzalez, Harris Dickinson and Patrick Gibson.
Here’s what they had to share with the mag:
RJ on the importance of family: “My mama and my papa are my babies. At a certain age, you switch places with your parents. They’ve become so spoiled, goodness gracious. Everybody’s like, ‘You’ve?got to stop giving them stuff.’ But how do I stop? They’re my parents!”
Eiza on her father’s passing: “When my father passed away, I learned to be unattached to physical things. At a very young age, I was able to roam the world and be emotionally connected, but physically disconnected.”
Harris on becoming an actor: “I always wanted to be a different person for the day. Every time I went to the cinema or to the theater, I would come out with this overwhelming sense of joy. At about 16, I put all my energy into it.”
Other rising stars include Damson Idris, Hannah Gross, Letitia Wright, Mamoudou Athie, Mikey Madison and Odessa Young.
