Ben Platt and Kaitlyn Dever both expected to star in uplcomg film of smash hit west end musical, Dear Evan Hansen.
Deadline is reporting initial casting for the film version of Dear Evan Hansen.
Opening to a raft of five-star reviews, two WhatsOnStage Awards and seven Olivier Award nominations, the hit musical follows a teenager, Evan, who pretends to be friends with a deceased pupil to become popular at school. It includes numbers such as "You Will Be Found" and "For Forever".
Ben Platt is expected to reprise his Tony Award-winning role as Evan, with Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart) in talks to play the role of Zoe Murphy. Dever recently visited the West End production while in London. Stephen Chbosky (Wonder) is attached to direct. While nothing is completely confirmed, with Platt's own father acting as one of the producers we wouldn't be surprised if it pans out as accurate.
Creators Benj Pasek, Justin Paul and Steven Levenson recently discussed the eagerly anticipated film version of the hit show, which is currently in development.
