New Trailer For Gay-Themed Teen Romance “Love, Simon”

I’m definitely looking forward to the upcoming Love, Simon in theaters March 16.

The official synopsis goes like this:

Everyone deserves a great love story. But for Simon (Nick Robinson) it’s complicated: no-one knows he’s gay and he doesn’t know who the anonymous classmate is that he’s fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, scary and life-changing.

This would be the first gay-themed teen romance flick with a nation-wide release.

From the folks who brought you This Is Us, Brothers & Sisters and Dawson’s Creek.

Watch the new trailer below.

Plus, we get the first track from the film’s soundtrack – Bleachers “Alfie’s Song (Not So Typical Love Song).”

Take a listen below.

Trailer: “Love, Simon”

A new coming-of-age film from director/producer Greg Berlanti – Love, Simon.

The film looks to be reminiscent of those 1980s big studio, John Hughes romantic dramedies about teenagers in love.

Except for this time – the lead is gay.

Via press release:

Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year-old Simon Spier it’s a little more complicated: he’s yet to tell his family or friends he’s gay and he doesn’t actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he’s fallen for online.

Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing. Directed by Greg Berlanti (Dawson’s Creek, Brothers & Sisters), written by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger (This is Us), and based on Becky Albertalli’s acclaimed novel, Love, Simon is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story about the thrilling ride of finding yourself and falling in love.

“No matter what, announcing to the world is pretty terrifying, cause … what if the world doesn’t like you?”

I know a few folks who might relate to this (as I raise my hand “Me! Me!”).

The film’s production team has an awesome pedigree across the board. Looking forward to seeing this.

Love, Simon arrives in theaters everywhere March 16, 2018.
