Impressive First Trailer For the New Superpower Thriller THE DARKEST MINDS From The Producers of STRANGER THINGS
"The more that I try to control it, the more damage that I do…"
20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for a fantastic looking new film called The Darkest Minds, and it comes from the producers of Stranger Things and Arrival. The film is set in a world where 98% of America's children are killed off from a disease that sweeps the nation. The surviving 2% end up developing superpowers and they are placed in internment camps. The story follows a 16-year-old girl who escapes from her camp and joins a group of other teens on the run from the government. I was impressed with this first trailer and it looks like it will be an awesome movie!
The film is based on a YA survival thriller novel by Alexandra Bracken and it stars Amandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games), Mandy Moore, Harris Dickinson, Wallace Langham, Golden Brooks, Mark O'Brien, Patrick Gibson, and Gwendoline Christie. Here's the synopsis:
When teens mysteriously develop powerful new abilities, they are declared a threat by the government and detained. Sixteen-year-old Ruby, one of the most powerful young people anyone has encountered, escapes her camp and joins a group of runaway teens seeking safe haven. Soon this newfound family realizes that, in a world in which the adults in power have betrayed them, running is not enough and they must wage a resistance, using their collective power to take back control of their future.
The Darkest Minds hits theaters on August 3, 2018. Check out the trailer and tell us what you think!
