I don't even know much about this other than what's below - and I already can't wait to see it.

I'm kinda guessing it's got your attention too.

White Frog LLC announced today that its original young adult drama White Frog has cast The Twilight Saga’s Booboo Stewart to star in the leading role. Stewart will play Nick, a neglected teen with mild Asperger’s syndrome whose life is challenged and ultimately affirmed by the unexpected fate of his adored older brother Chaz, played by Harry Shum Jr. (Glee). Joan Chen (The Last Emperor) and BD Wong (Law and Order: SVU) are confirmed to play the roles of their parents. Margaret Cho (Drop Dead Diva) will play the role of Nick’s unconventional psychiatrist.

Quentin Lee (The People I’ve Slept With) directs from an original script by Fabienne Wen and Ellie Wen on which David Henry Hwang served as Script Advisor. White Frog is produced by Christopher Lee, Joel Soisson, and Ellie Wen along with Executive Producers Kevin Iwashina and David Henry Hwang.

White Frog is an emotional young adult drama with comedy and heart about Nick, a neglected teen with mild Asperger’s syndrome, whose life is challenged and ultimately affirmed by the unexpected fate of his adored older brother Chaz. White Frog is a universal story of the power of family, friendship, and love positioned to appeal to a broad audience in the same way as Ordinary People, Joy Luck Club, and The Kids Are All Right.
