- Fake Skating will receive a theatrical release through Sony Pictures on July 16, 2027, putting the rink-set romance on the big screen rather than a streaming service.
- Amélie Hoeferle and Graham Campbell will play Dani and Alec, childhood sweethearts whose reunion in a hockey-loving hometown leads them to begin a fake dating relationship.
- Josh Boone will direct the adaptation, following his recent direction of Paramount’s Regretting You and his earlier adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars.
- Morgan Lehmann and Victoria Bata wrote the screenplay, with revisions handled by Boone and his writing partner Knate Lee.
- Olive Bridge Entertainment is producing the film; Will Gluck and Jacqueline Monetta are producers, and Madison Jones is executive producing for the company.
- Lynn Painter will executive produce the adaptation of her novel, giving the author a role beyond the underlying source material.
Why it matters: The July 16, 2027 theatrical date distinguishes the project from the streamer-first pattern the article describes for hockey, figure-skating and other rink romances. Painter’s executive-producer role also gives the book’s author a direct stake in how her story reaches audiences on the big screen.
