Focus Features has released the first images from Joel Edgerton’s (Loving, Red Sparrow) forthcoming drama Boy Erased, based on Garrard Conley‘s true story Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith and Family.
In the film, Lucas Hedges (Lady Bird, Manchester by the Sea) plays Jared, the son of the Baptist minister of a small town. At 19, Jared is outed to his parents, played by Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe. They present him with an unthinkable ultimatum: He can either attend gay conversion therapy, or be disowned by his family and from his faith.
