Disney + has announced the cast of the next original film Out of my mind. That cast includes Rosemarie De Witt (The ladder), Luke Kirby (The wonderful Mrs. Maisel) And Giuditta Luce (History of American Crime). The film is an adaptation of Sharon Draper’s award-winning novel of the same name and tells an incredibly inspiring story.
That story follows Melody Brooks (Phoebe-Rae Taylor), “A girl with cerebral palsy. Melody has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but due to her being non-verbal and using a wheelchair, she is not offered the same academic opportunities as her classmates. However, when Katherine, a young educator, notices the untapped potential of her student, she encourages Melody to participate in traditional education, where greater successes – and challenges await. “
DeWitt plays Diane, Melody’s mother and fiercest supporter, and Kirby plays her supportive father, Chuck. The light plays “Mrs. V., ”Brooks’ eccentric but caring neighbor who, although her style may be unconventional, always takes care of Melody.
The film is also the protagonist Courtney Taylor (Insecure) as Katherine, a postdoctoral candidate and educator, e Michele Cherno (Separation) plays Mr. Dimming, Melody’s teacher and the coach of her school’s quiz team.
