Update – the film has been re-titled The Edge of Seventeen

We’ve been sent the first official picture of Besties, the upcoming comedy movie written and directed by Kelly Fremon and starring Hailee Steinfeld:

Plot synopsis:
“Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) and Krista (Haley Lu Richardson) are inseparable best friends attempting to navigate high school together…until Nadine discovers her older brother and Krista have been secretly dating behind her back. They soon realize that there is a fine line between best friends and worst enemies.
The cast of the film is rounded out with Kyra Sedgwick, who plays Nadine’s well-meaning but completely ineffective mother, and Woody Harrelson, who plays Mr. Bruner, Nadine’s English teacher (and mentor) who is uncannily wise in the ways of girl-clashes.”

They’re both cute, aren’t they?

Besides Hailee Steinfeld, the cast also includes Haley Lu Richardson, Kyra Sedgwick, Woody Harrelson, Blake Jenner, Eric Keenleyside, Laine MacNeil, Katie Stuart, Nesta Cooper, Lina Renna, and Ava Grace Cooper.

The release date of Besties is set to September 30, 2016.
