Jon and Andrew Erwin, the creators behind the blockbuster film “I Can Only Imagine,” also announced another film coming this year, titled, “The Unbreakable Boy.”

The film follows the true story of Iowan Austin LeRette, a boy with austism and a rare bone disease. LeRette’s faith-centered story was chronicled by his father, Scott, in the book The Unbreakable Boy.

According to a casting announcement for the flick, the story is “told in the charmingly unpredictable voice” of a young man. The film is “a funny and inspiring true story of a young couple stumbling through parenthood, who find constant inspiration from the joy and optimism of their spectacularly unique son.”

Produced under the Erwin Brothers Kingdom Story company, the movie began production last year in Oklahoma City.

Joining the Erwin Brothers on the upcoming film are producers Jerilyn Esquibel, Downes, and Peter Facinelli, along with writer and director Jon Gunn (“The Case for Christ”) — the same team who brought “I Still Beleive” to audiences this year.
