The upcoming Amazon Studios adaptation of the well-received coming-of-age novel Chemical Hearts starring Riverdale vet Lili Reinhart and directed by Richard Tanne (Southside With You) has officially entered production.
“Krystal Sutherland’s novel captured the hearts of readers around the world, and we are excited to bring this film to our global Prime Video customers.”
Tanne made his directorial debut in 2016 with the romantic biopic Southside With You about Barack and Michelle Obama’s first date, which opened to widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
“We are thrilled to work with this talented team to bring to life a beautiful story of first love and heartbreak,” Julie Rapaport, Co-Head of Movies at Amazon Studios, said in a statement.
