Isabela Merced’s heart fluttered like a butterfly (or maybe a moth, judging by the one that landed on her book!) on the last day of filming “Turtles All the Way Down.” This isn’t just any movie, folks – it’s the highly-anticipated adaptation of John Green’s tearjerker novel of the same name (you know, the one that left you sobbing on the subway?).

Merced takes center stage, leading an amazing cast that includes Cree Cicchino, Felix Mallard, and Judy Reyes, all brought to life by the talented Hannah Marks (who even makes a cameo!). Get ready to stream your heart out because “Turtles All the Way Down” lands on Max on May 2nd, 2024.
