Patrick Schwarzenegger, Bella Thorne and director Scott Speer shared a meal at L.A.’s Mud Hen Tavern in April—and as it turns out, it was a business dinner. Deadline reported Monday that Schwarzenegger and Thorne will star in Midnight Sun, based on a 2006 Japanese film about Katie, a 17-year-old who suffers from a disease that makes her skin so sensitive to sunlight that even the tiniest exposure could be fatal. Everything changes when she falls in love with a boy named Charlie.
Eric Kirsten is writing the script for the young adult movie.
Shooting is scheduled to start in September.
Thorne confirmed the news herself via Instagram, telling fans, “Proud to announce this YA romance film with my good friend Patrick and directed by Scott Speers!”
