American actor Ansel Elgort is all set to treat his fans with the upcoming film titled 'The Great High School Imposter'.
The movie is based on a Daniel Riley GQ Magazine article that published this year about Artur Samarin, a young Ukranian man who posed as a teenager so he could be adopted by a couple in a small town in Pennsylvania and became the top student in his high school, reported Variety.
Samarin was about five years older than he claimed to be and his adopted parents later turned him into the concerned authorities.
Screenwriter Mike Makowsky is adapting the script for the drama. Jeremy Steckler of Conde Nast Entertainment is producing. Makowsky, Elgort, and Emily Gerson Saines will be the executive producers.
Elgort has previously starred in films including 'The Fault in Our Stars', 'Baby Driver', 'Jonathan'.
The 24-year-old actor has two other movies in his kitty including Steven Spielberg's upcoming musical, 'West Side Story' and 'The Goldfinch', an adaptation of the Donna Tartt novel, which is slated to release on October 11, 2019.
