If there's one movie we've been highly anticipating, it's White Frog. Not only does it star some of the hottest actors in Young Hollywood like Twilight's Booboo Stewart, Glee's Harry Shum Jr., Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey, and Pretty Little Liars' Gregg Sulkin, it also has this heartwrenching storyline that screams success.
The film focuses on a guy named Nick, played by Stewart, whose struggling with life as a high-school student with Asperger's Syndrome. The one rock in his life, his older brother Chaz who is played by Shum, is taken away from him in a fatal bike accident. Nick is now left to pick up the pieces left behind by this tragedy, with the help of his friends.
It's an emotional family drama directed by Quentin Lee, that's a bit reminiscent of some great films in the past like Stand By Me and Ordinary People. It debuted at the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival on March 8. In fact, tonight the film will screen at the DGA Theatre in L.A. as part of Outfest. Watch the trailer for White Frog below:
Are you going to see White Frog? Get your tissues ready, because it looks like quite the tearjerker. Without knowing anything about the premise, we were definitely not expecting Harry Shum Jr.'s character to die in that reckless accident. That person driving the car better have gotten some good liability insurance quotes, because the accident was the definition of a wrongful death.
