YA adaptation All the Bright Places has landed at Netflix and has rounded out its cast as it heads into production.
Alexandra Shipp, Keegan-Michael Key and Luke Wilson are joining the movie that will be lead by Elle Fanning and Justice Smith.
Based on the 2015 best-seller by Jennifer Niven, the story follows Violet Markey (Fanning) and Theodore Finch (Smith), two high schoolers who struggle with mental illness and who come together to discover the wonders within themselves and the world around them.
Broadway star Kelli O’Hara, Runaways actor Virginia Gardner and Felix Mallard, star of CBS’ Happy Together, are also on board. The movie has begun filming in Cleveland, Ohio.

Brett Haley, who helmed Sundance standout Hearts Beat Loud, will direct from a script by Niven and The Post writer Liz Hannah.
Fanning is producing, along with Mazur Kaplan’s Paula Mazur and Mitchell Kaplan, and Echo Lake’s Andrew Spaulding, Doug Mankoff and Brittany Kahan. Hannah, Robert Salerno, Kimi Armstrong Stein are exec producing.
