Nick Robinson, Amandla S to star in "Everything Everything"
Quote:
Rising actors Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson will star in Everything Everything, MGM and Alloy Entertainment’s adaptation of the YA book by Nicola Yoon.
Stenberg has officially closed his deal while Robinson is in final negotiations, according to insiders.
Yoon's debut novel follows Maddy, a teen who has severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a rare disease that causes her to be allergic to practically everything. She has spent 17 years hiding out in her home, only seeing her mother and her nurse, Carla. But when a boy named Olly moves in next door, Maddy begins to fall in love.
Stenberg will play Maddy while Robinson will play Olly, who is battling his own demons.
