Alex Pangburn has just completed shooting on feature film “Midnight Sun“.
Bella Thorne and Patrick Schwarzenegger have been cast as the leads of Midnight Sun, a young adult love story that will be financed by Boies/Schiller Film Group. Scott Speer (Step Up: Revolution) is set to direct the pic from a script by Eric Kirsten.
Based on a 2006 Japanese film, Midnight Sun centers on Katie (Thorne), a 17-year-old sheltered since childhood and confined to her house during the day by a rare disease that makes even the smallest amount of sunlight deadly. Fate intervenes when she meets Charlie (Schwarzenegger) and they embark on a summer romance.
John Rickard and Zack Schiller, who are collaborating on the Fletch redo with Jason Sudeikis at Relativity, are producing; David Boies, James McGough, Alan Ou, Hiroki Shirota and Speer are executive producing; Devin Andre will co-produce. WME Global is handling the domestic sale.
