Trailer For Joey King's Sci-Fi Film UGLIES Directed By McG
Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming sci-fi thriller Uglies, which was directed by McG (Terminator: Salvation).
The movie is set In “a futuristic world that imposes a cosmetic surgery at 16, Tally is eager for her turn to join the rest of society. But when a friend runs away, Tally embarks on a journey to save her that upends everything she thought she wanted.”
The film is based on the 2005 novel, and over the years it’s the kind of story that has become more relevant. The film stars Joey King, who said: “I think it is super relevant that we’re making this now.”
McG said: “The film’s really about beauty as interior. It’s a commentary on what we’re experiencing today, where so many people can’t just take a photograph and post it on social media.
“You’ve got to put it through the filter, you’ve got to edit it, you’ve got to do the thing to present this idealized version of beauty.
“And this is a moment to say, ‘Take a deep breath, work on your inner game, love people for who they are, and accept yourself for who you are,’ and strangely, it’s a much more fruitful way to live.”
Uglies also stars Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Keith Powers, Charmin Lee, Jan Luis Castellano and Laverne Cox.
Uglies will be released on Netflix on September 13, 2024. The movie even has hoverboards!
