Based on the novel from Becky Albertalli, and directed by Greg Berlanti (The Flash) Love, Simon starred Nick Robinson with Keiynan Lonsdale, Katherine Langford, Alexandra Shipp, Josh Duhamel, and Jennifer Garner. The film followed 17-year-old Simon (Robinson), who has yet to tell his family or friends that he’s gay. His only confidant is an anonymous classmate with whom he trades emails and whom he soon realizes he’s in love with.
