Netflix has released the first trailer for the highly anticipated adaptation ofJenny Han’s bestselling YA novelTo All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Scripted bySofia Alvarez(Man Seeking Woman) and directed bySusan Johnson(Carrie Pilby), the film starsLana Condoras a somewhat introverted high school teenager who harbors a major secret: she’s written love letters to all her crushes, but keeps them tightly locked away in a box in her closet. Unfortunately, one day she discovers that someone has sent all the letters out, revealing her deepest secrets to the five boys she’s ever loved.
This movie looks delightful, and could be the beginning of a franchise for Netflix if they opt to adapt the other two novels in Han’s trilogy. I’ve been bemoaning the lack of romantic comedies for a long while now, but between the recent hitSet It Upand this, it appears the genre is thriving on Netflix. The film is also a great showcase for Condor, who had a brief role inX-Men: Apocalypseas Jubilee but who looks to shine in the lead role here.
