Emmy-nominated actress Mckenna Grace has been cast in the lead role of the upcoming romantic drama ‘Everything I Never Did.’ The film, which is still in pre-production, will be directed by Jeremy Sins from a screenplay written by D.J. McPherson and Scott Taylor. It is produced by Spencer McLaren for Aspect Entertainment, along with McPherson and Jack Christian.
Grace, who is best known for her roles in films such as ‘Gifted,’ ‘I, Tonya,’ and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ will play the role of Jenna Reid, a seriously ill girl who falls in love with Liam Black, a troubled teen. The film follows their journey as they navigate the challenges of love, loss, and illness.
‘Everything I Never Did’ marks Grace’s first venture into the romance genre. The film is expected to begin production later this year. No distributor has yet been attached to the project.
“Everything I Never Did is a bittersweet love story that throws away cliches and sparks with originality, spontaneity, and surprise,” the producers said in a statement. “It tells the story of troubled teen Liam Black and Jenna Reid (Grace), a seriously ill girl, who together embark on a transformative journey of living and loving in the face of adversity.”
McPherson added, “We are thrilled to finally announce [the movie]. It’s a project that is very close to our hearts, and we’re ecstatic to have Mckenna Grace leading our cast. Her profound ability to connect with complex roles will breathe life into this poignant narrative. We are thrilled to see her bring Jenna to life on the big screen.”
The film’s casting and plot have already generated a lot of buzz among fans of teen romance and coming-of-age films. With Grace’s involvement, ‘Everything I Never Did’ is sure to be a must-see for fans of the genre.
