Release date
'Chemical Hearts' releases on August 21, 2020.
Plot
The official synopsis reads, "Seventeen-year-old Henry Page (Austin Abrams) has never been in love. He fancies himself a romantic, but the kind of once-in-a-lifetime love he’s been hoping for just hasn’t happened yet. Then, on the first day of senior year, he meets transfer student Grace Town (Lili Reinhart) and it seems all that is about to change. When Grace and Henry are chosen to co-edit the school paper, he is immediately drawn to the mysterious newcomer. As he learns the heartbreaking secret that has changed her life, he finds himself falling in love with her — or at least the person he thinks she is."
Cast
Austin Abrams as Henry Page
Abrams is recognized from his roles as Ben from 'Paper Towns' (2015), Pete from 'Gangster Squad' (2013), Tommy Milner from 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark' and Aaron from 'The Kings of Summer.'
Lili Reinhart as Grace Town
Most remember Reinhart for her excellent portrayal of Betty Cooper from The CW's 'Riverdale,' the only show from the Archie Universe still running. Her other roles include Vicki from 'The Kings of Summer' (2013), an Angel Recruit from 'Charlie's Angels' (2019), and Annabelle from 'Hustlers' (2019).

Creators
'Chemical Hearts' is produced by Big Indie Pictures with Richard Tanne serving as director. Krystal Sutherland is the author of the novel, and Tanne serves as the writer of the screenplay. Jamin O'Brien, Sutherland and Reinhart serve as executive producers and Alex Saks and Tanne serve as producers.
Trailer
A trailer is yet to be released for the production. Only a first-look clip has been released. There isn't too much to understand from the small clip but we do see that Lili Reinhart's character has a limp and she does exchange a weird look with Austin Abram's character. The synopsis says that Lili has a "heartbreaking secret" that altered her life, so we're guessing the back story is definitely going to be interesting. Either way, we don't have much to go on, which probably makes the release all the more exciting. Not to mention, fans of Reinhart from 'Riverdale' are all set for their favorite to take over on another production.
