Miles Gutierrez-Riley is preparing for the best…
The Latino actor will star in drama I Wish You All the Best, based on Mason Deaver’s bestselling 2019 novel of the same name.
Tommy Dorfman will write, direct and produce the film for ACE Entertainment, with Corey Fogelmanis tapped as the lead.
Others set for Dorfman’s first feature, which had previously cast Alexandra Daddario, include Amy Landecker, Judson Mills, Lexi Underwood, Lisa Yamada and Brian Michael Smith.
I Wish You All the Best will have Fogelmanis play the creative, bright and introverted Ben, a non-binary teen who has spent their life pretending to be the perfect “son” to their ultra-religious Southern parents. When Ben is kicked out of the house and moves in with their estranged sister, they embark upon a journey of self-discovery that teaches them about love, friendship and family.
Gutierrez-Riley starred on Prime Video’s drama series The Wilds and can currently be seen in Sanaa Lathan’s TIFF-premiering musical drama On the Come Up, which was released in limited theaters and on Paramount+ in September.
The actor will next appear in the comedy The Moon & Back with Isabel May, Missi Pyle and Nat Faxon and the comedy Sweethearts with Kiernan Shipka.
