Five Feet Apart will be directed by Jane the Virgin‘s Justin Baldoni and has begun production for the film. The synopsis of the film reads, “Teenage attraction gets complicated when touching is not an option, but the pair quickly learns that the possibilities are endless, even if it means staying out of reach. Living on borrowed time means making every moment count, and as the challenges mount, Will and Stella will discover a strength within themselves and each other that transcends the distance between them.”
