The hot new project in the bidding wars this week is Boy Erased, an adaptation of a novel about a gay conversion therapy camp that currently has Joel Edgerton and Manchester By the Sea’s Lucas Hedges signed on to star.
Hedges will play the protagonist Garrard Conley and Edgerton the man who runs the camp.
Joel Edgerton can next be seen in It Comes at Night, which is currently playing.
Deadline reports Edgerton adapted the script himself from a novel of the same title, which is a memoir written by Garrard Conley about being a gay teen in a small conservative Arkansas town.
