Jonah Platt Joins THE LIST Indie Comedy Film

Jonah Platt has joined the cast of The List, an upcoming indie comedy film, directed by Melissa Miller Costanzo.

Deadline reports that Platt will join Chrissie Fit, Will Peltz, Zach Reino, Halston Sage, Christian Navarro, and Greg Sulkin in the new film.

The plot follows Abby (Sage), a woman who is about to get married, for whom everything is perfect. Until she finds out her fiancé Matt (Platt) has slept with a celebrity from his "free pass" list that they have compiled. To get her mind off of the situation, Abby and her best friend Chloe (Fit) come up with a crazy idea: Abby should pursue a celebrity from her own free pass list. But things become even more complicated when she meets Jake (Navarro), a charming waiter at a neighborhood cafe, who gives her a fresh perspective on the situation.
