The movie is also set to star Superman & Lois’ Emmanuelle Chriqui, Red Oaks’ Ennis Esmer, Riverdale’s Martin Cummins and He’s Not Worth Dying For’s Rachel Boyd.
Salvation’s Mackenzie Munro is set to direct Boot Camp, with Cardinal’s Gemma Holdway writing the screenplay adapted from Gina Musa’s original Wattpad story.
“Boot Camp is a celebration of love and body empowerment in a time when we don’t see those messages nearly enough online and in entertainment,” said Lindsey Ramey, head of global film at Wattpad Webtoon Studios (via Variety).
“Hollywood is overdue for a smart, joyful film with an amazing love story about someone who can love themself as much as someone else. We’re turning tired tropes on their head, and making a film where the female lead doesn’t need an external makeover in order to fall in love and live happily ever after”
Lindsay Macadam, exec VP of GPM, added: “Wattpad Webtoon Studios have been tremendous partners on Boot Camp.
“Their track record in this genre is more than impressive and we are thrilled to bring this important story to life. Millions have read and loved the story that inspired the film and we know that they – and many more – will fall in love with these characters.”
