Jennifer Garner Joins SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA

SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA adds Jennifer Garner as a central character in Simon’s life.

Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda has found its matriarch in a popular Hollywood actress!

Jennifer Garner (Alias, Dallas Buyers Club) has signed on for a role in the film. According to THR, she’ll be playing Simon’s mother, a small but important part in the coming-of-age and coming out dramedy.

The movie follows a closeted gay teen named Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) after a romantic email sent to another boy ends up in the possession of class clown Martin Addison (Logan Miller), leading Martin to blackmail Simon. He wants a date with Simon’s best friend, Abby (Alexandra Shipp), but of course, things are never quite that simple.

The film also stars Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (The Land) and Katherine Langford (13 Reasons Why). Greg Berlanti, the powerhouse executive producer behind The CW’s DC Superhero line-up, will direct.

The film does not have a release date yet. You can check out the YA novel by Becky Albertalli now via Amazon.
