Playing along Ansel Elgort who will portray Theo , a young man who loses his mother in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Wolfhard is set to play Boris, a young Ukrainian boy who bonds with Theo due to their both having lost their mothers and who introduces him to drugs and alcohol.
Directed by John Crowley, the project is set to start shooting next week. Also attached to the film are Sarah Paulson, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Wilson, and Aneurin Barnard. Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson of Color Force are producing.
