The film, based on the upcoming young adult novel Aaron Starmer, will feature an adapted screenplay by The Babysitter scribe Brian Duffield.
The announcement of the Spontaneous movie comes on the heels of Open Road’s recent acquisition of the distribution rights for Before I Fall, Awesomeness Film’s adaptation of the young adult novel with the same name by Lauren Oliver, out of Cannes.
“‘Spontaneous’ is the type of fresh, exciting project that not only connects, but resonates with the young adult audience,” says Kaplan.
Spontaneous was named a Book Expo America 2016 Young Adult Buzz Book.
