What happens

Turtles All the Way Down is a 2024 American romantic drama film based on the 2017 novel of the same name by John Green. The film is directed by Hannah Marks and stars Isabela Merced, Cree, Felix Mallard, Maliq Johnson, Poorna Jagannathan, Judy Reyes, and J. Smith-Cameron. The story centers on a 16-year-old with obsessive–compulsive disorder who pursues the disappearance of a billionaire. The project began development at Fox 2000 Pictures in December 2017, with Berger and Aptaker announced as screenwriters and Marks set to direct it in January 2019. Because the Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox 2000 Pictures, Disney closed Fox 2000 and put the project into turnaround, until it was eventually acquired by New Line Cinema. Merced, who had starred in another adaptation of Green's work, Let It Snow (2019), was announced in March 2022. Principal photography began in April of the same year in Cincinnati and ended in June. Turtles All the Way Down was released on May 2, 2024, on the streaming service Max. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
