Short description
Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.
What's left behind the scenes
- Early in the film's production, Nick Robinson's younger brother came out.
- After participating in filming, actor Keinan Lonsdale came out.
- The film is an adaptation of Becky Albertalli’s debut novel “Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda” (2015), and its working title was the same as the book’s. However, it was later decided that the title was too long, and it was shortened.
- Director Greg Berlanti revealed that some scenes with the friends (Simon, Lea, Abby, and Nick) were filmed while the actors believed filming had stopped. In pursuit of authentic reactions, he would sometimes say “Cut!”, having previously warned the operator to continue shooting. Some of these scenes made it into the final version of the film.
- The film made such an impression on Kristen Bell, Neil Patrick Harris, Matt Bomer, Tyler Oakley, and the hosts of the online show “Superfruit” – Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi – that they bought out all the tickets for screenings in their hometowns out of their own pockets, making these screenings free so that as many viewers as possible could see the film. Director Greg Berlanti did the same.
