McG producing “John Hughes classic” teen comedy Tall Girl for Netflix

November 4, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Deadline is reporting that filmmaker McG is teaming with Netflix to produce Tall Girl, a teen comedy described as “a John Hughes classic” (modest!), which is set to be directed by Nzingha Stewart (Grey’s Anatomy) from a script by Sam Wolfson (Andi Mack).

The film will follow a 16-year-old girl called Jodi “who, at more than six feet tall, has to go above and beyond to survive high school while struggling with the constant label of being her school’s tall girl. All of that changes when she falls for the handsome (and equally tall) foreign exchange student Stig, who gets Jodi’s quirky, best, male friend Dunkleman and his hippie mom as a host family. As a result, Jodi gets embroiled in a surprising love triangle, which helps her realize she’s far more than her insecurities about her height have led her to believe.”

Filming on the project is set to get underway in January, and marks the fourth collaboration between McG’s Wonderland and and Netflix after The Babysitter, When We First Met, and the upcoming Rim of the World.
