Quote:
Chloe Grace Moretz and Sasha Lane are set to star in Desiree Akhavan's The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
Based on Emily Danforth’s acclaimed and controversial coming-of-age novel of the same name, the film is set in 1993 and follows a girl forced into gay conversion therapy center after getting caught with the prom queen.
Dubbed a drama with comedic elements, Miseducation of Cameron Post will star Moretz as Cameron, an orphan who’s taken in by her ultra-conservative aunt. American Honey breakout star Lane will play Cameron’s friend and fellow "disciple" at the conversion therapy clinic to which they are sent. The cast also includes John Gallagher Jr. (Short Term 12), Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant) and Jennifer Ehle (A Quiet Passion). Ashley Connor (Tramps) is on board as cinematographer.
