Amazon Studios Begins Production on Richard Tanne’s Chemical Hearts Starring and Executive Produced by Lili Reinhart

Business Wire
Amazon Studios announced today that Lili Reinhart (Riverdale)
will star in writer/director Richard Tanne’s coming-of-age drama
and romance film, Chemical Hearts. Based on the beloved novel
Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal
Sutherland, the film is currently shooting in New Jersey. Chemical
Hearts is an Amazon Original produced for Amazon
Prime Video. Producers are Page Fifty-Four’s Alex Saks (The Florida
Project, Book Club) and Tanne, and the film is executive produced
by Jamin O’Brien (Eighth Grade) and Reinhart, in her first
executive producer role.
17-year-old Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies
himself a romantic, but the once in a lifetime kind of love that
he’s been hoping for just hasn’t been in the cards for him—at least
not yet. Instead, he’s been happy to focus all of his attention on
finally becoming the editor of his high school newspaper. Then, on
the first day of senior year, he meets transfer student Grace Town
(Reinhart) and knows everything’s about to change.
“We are thrilled to work with this talented team to bring to
life a beautiful story of first love and heartbreak,” said Julie
Rapaport, Co-Head of Movies at Amazon Studios. “Krystal
Sutherland’s novel captured the hearts of readers around the world,
and we are excited to bring this film to our global Prime Video
customers.”
Production is working with RespectAbility, a nonprofit
organization that focuses on ensuring the accurate portrayal of
characters with disabilities in media.
Winner of several Teen Choice awards for her role as Betty
Cooper in the hit series Riverdale, Lili Reinhart will next be seen
starring opposite Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu in Lorene
Scafaria’s feature film Hustlers. She recently starred
in Melanie Laurent’s Galveston opposite Elle Fanning and
Ben Foster and Julia Hart’s Miss Stevens opposite Lily
Rabe and Timothée Chalamet. Reinhart is represented by UTA and
Anonymous Content.
Writer/director Richard Tanne’s first feature film was the
well-received Barack and Michelle Obama first date story, Southside
With You, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was
released by Miramax and Roadside Attractions. For the film, he was
nominated for the Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award at the
Gothams. Tanne is represented by UTA, Artists First, and attorney
Debbie Von Arx.
