Words on Bathroom Walls, which is an adaptation of Julia Walton’s novel of the same name, now has an official trailer.
This teen movie is told through the perspective of Adam (Charlie Plummer), who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Before this diagnosis, Adam had dreams of becoming a chef, but now, everything becomes about his illness, and he even has to switch schools because of it. In the trailer, Adam draws a comparison between his situation and a young person with cancer, and how that person is treated with more kindness that he is, pointing out the stigma that still surrounds mental illness.
At his new school, Adam lives in constant fear of being exposed. He also finds a soulful, comforting connection in Maya (Taylor Russell), an outspoken and fiercely intelligent girl who inspires him to open his heart and not be defined by his condition. With the support of his newfound romance and his family, Adam is hopeful for the very first time that he can see the light, and together, triumph over the challenges that lie ahead.
The film also features the debut score of The Chainsmokers. In February, the duo decided to take a hiatus from music and social media to begin producing their fourth studio album, but then broke their silence to reveal that they have produced their debut score for the film.
Words on Bathroom Walls is slated to be released August 7, 2020, though IMDb still lists it as July 31, 2020. The trailer doesn’t have a release date, so this could be an indication of a possible change in dates given the volatile coronavirus situation.
