The Brothers Strause get ugly for Uglies
The Brothers Strause (Skyline, AvP: Requiem) are teaming up with Predators producer John Davis to adapt The Uglies, based off of author Scott Westerfeld’s trilogy. Uglies is set in an Orwellian future in which teens undergo surgery on their 16th birthdays to become supermodel “pretty.” It’s centered on Tally Youngblood, an “ugly” teen forced by authorities to forgo her transformation until she infiltrates The Smoke, a community of rebels who choose to retain their appearance and live outside of normal society.
The film is being written by Jacob Forman (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane). No word on a release date or cast.
