Isabela Merced to Join Kaitlyn Dever in Rosaline

Isabela Merced is joining Kaitlyn Dever in 20th Century’s revisionist take on Romeo & Juliet, Rosaline. Merced is set to play Juliet in the new take.

Based on the novel When You Were Mine, by Rebecca Serle, the film is a modern twist on the classic Shakespeare tale. We see “the most famous love story ever told” through the eyes of Juliet’s cousin Rosaline (Dever), a sharp but idealistic young woman—who happens to be Romeo’s recent ex. What begins as an attempt to foil the famous romance and win back her guy becomes a journey of self-discovery as she ultimately works to help get the star-crossed lovers back together.

I wonder who is going to play Romeo. Any thoughts?
