EXCLUSIVE: Sabrina Carpenter, star of Disney’s Girl Meets World and Netflix’s forthcoming dance feature Work It, and comedy Tall Girl, is to star and produce a big screen adaption of YA novel The Distance From Me to You after Creepshow producer Cartel Entertainment optioned the rights to Marina Gessner’s book.
It is the latest feature role for pop star Carpenter, who also recently starred in George Tillman Jr’s The Hate U Give and features in forthcoming film Short History of The Long Road. It will also reunite Carpenter with her Girl Meets World colleague Danielle Fishel, who is set to exec produce alongside Cartel’s Stan Spry, Jeff Holland and Drew Brown.
