Words on Bathroom Walls is going to filming in Wilmington, North Carolina this April 2018.
North Carolina used to have a booming film industry that once rivaled Hollywood and Georgia. Now, there are barely any casting calls or opportunities for those interested in the film industry in the state. However, there appears to be a rose budding through the concrete as Star News Online reports a new movie is to start filming in Wilmington, North Carolina.
According to reports, Screen Gems Studios confirmed last week the film Julia Walton’s young adult novel “Words on Bathroom Walls” will open offices at the studio next week to begin filming this April.
The film will be directed by Thor Freudenthal, who also helmed young-adult adaptations like “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.”Â
The novel, which was released in July 2017, tells the story of Adam, who has just been diagnosed with schizophrenia and sees people who aren’t actually there, including a beautiful girl and a mob boss.
When Adam begins a drug trial to help ignore the visions, he meets a girl named Maya and begins to believe anything is possible — even love.
