Chloe Grace Moretz stars in the young adult drama 'If I Stay'

MANILA, Philippines – The 2009 Gayle Forman young adult book bestseller “If I Stay” gets a movie adaptation, which will be released later this year.

The movie tells the story of the gifted classical musician Mia (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her boyfriend, Adam (Jamie Blackley), an up and coming indie-rock star. Torn between two paths in life, her art or her relationship, Mia is forced to make an even starker choice between life and death when she is caught in a fatal car accident.

With her family decimated, Mia lies comatose in a hospital — having an out-of-body experience. She watches as she’s told that living or dying “is all up to you; whatever fight you got in you, gotta pull it out now.”

17-year-old Chloe is an renowned young actress, having starred in a number of successful movies and critically acclaimed films such as “Kick-Ass,” “(500) Days of Summer,” “Let Me In,” and, most recently, the movie adaptation of the Stephen King novel “Carrie.”

“If I Stay” is directed by R.J. Cutler (“The September Issue”) from a script by Shauna Cross (“Whip It”). Opening across the Philippines on September 3, 2014,

“If I Stay” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Entertainment Company.
