It had felt like radio silence on the UGLIES adaptation forever. But recently we did get the news that the movie would release on Netflix in September and that was exciting. Now, we’re at a whole other level of excitement as the first poster for the upcoming adaptation has been revealed.
And spoiler alert… no one is ugly. And yes, we’re saying that because someone, somewhere will make a joke about it.
UGLIES tells the story of, “Tally is about to turn sixteen, and she can’t wait. In just a few weeks she’ll have the operation that will turn her from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty. And as a pretty, she’ll be catapulted into a high-tech paradise where her only job is to have fun. But Tally’s new friend Shay isn’t sure she wants to become a pretty. When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world—and it isn’t very pretty. The authorities offer Tally a choice: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. Tally’s choice will change her world forever.”
The movie is set to star Joey King, Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Keith Powers, Laverne Cox, Charmin Lee and Jan Luis Castellanos. It will be released on September 13th, 2024.
