Joey King stars in ‘Uglies’, set to drop on Netflix

Catch the highly anticipated film adaptation of Scott Westerfeld’s novel on September 13

Based on Scott Westerfeld's novel, Uglies is set in a future where ‘Pretty’ and ‘Ugly’ define people's worth. Joey King stars as Tally Youngblood in this film, dropping on Netflix on September 13. In a world where 16-year-olds undergo cosmetic surgery to transform from ‘Ugly’ to ‘Pretty’, stripping away their sense of responsibility, Tally discovers an alternative in a place called The Smoke.

The trailer promises to intrigue viewers. With Chase Stokes, Keith Powers, and Laverne Cox rounding out the cast, McG — known for his futuristic films — brings Westerfeld’s novel to life for Netflix. Written for the screen by Jacob Forman, Vanessa Taylor and Whit Anderson, Uglies is set to be a must-watch next month. Check out the trailer and get ready for the film’s debut on Netflix.
