Hope Gracin (Mia Rose Frampton, “Tammy”) has terminal cancer, but her diagnosis hasn’t impacted her love of treats or the limelight. Our exclusive clip of “Hope Springs Eternal” sees Hope receiving treatment at the hospital. Asked if she’s in pain, the teen uses the opportunity to charm her nurse into bringing her more snacks and a soda.
“They should really start a patient of the month contest,” her friend — and fellow patient — Sarah (Juliette Angelo) teases.
Hope admits,”I love attention just as much as the next person, but I wouldn’t say I take advantage of it.” Cue the pile of the goodies she’s requested being delivered to her.
The highschooler has made the most of being known as “The Girl Dying of Cancer.” She’s popular at school, has a loving boyfriend, and her teachers don’t expect her to do any homework. But her whole life — and identity — gets turned upside down when new tests show she’s in remission.
Penned by Stephanie Mickus, “Hope Springs Eternal” will be released in theaters and on VOD tomorrow, August 10. Check out the trailer to see Hope namedrop “The Fault in Our Stars” and bond with Sarah.
