The teen tearjerker offers a unique twist!
Midnight Sun stars Patrick Schwarzenegger and Bella Thorne sit down with BackstageOL to take you behind the scenes of their new film centered around a girl diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), which prevents her from being able to be in sunlight.
The film’s synopsis:
MIDNIGHT SUN is a romantic tearjerker about 17-year-old Katie Price (Bella Thorne), sheltered at home since childhood with a rare genetic condition, a life-threatening sensitivity to sunlight. Having only her father Jack (Rob Riggle) for company, Katie’s world opens up after dark when she ventures outside to play her guitar. One night, her dreams come true when she’s noticed and asked out by her longtime crush Charlie (Patrick Schwarzenegger), whom she’s secretly watched from her bedroom window for years. As they embark on nightly summer excursions, Katie’s risk to sunlight grows and she’s presented with the gut-wrenching dilemma of whether she can live a normal life with her newfound soul mate.
Midnight Sun hits theaters March 23rd. Check out the full interview with Schwarnegger and Thorne below!
