Joey King and Brianne Tju are the talented and very non-ugly stars of Uglies, the new Netflix movie based on a YA classic. They spoke with MovieWeb’s Richard Fink about the long production of their new film and its deep topical connection to today’s issues of choice and bodily autonomy.
Based on Scott Westerfield’s 2005 YA dystopian novel, Uglies is set in a futuristic dystopia with enforced beauty standards, where a teen awaiting mandatory cosmetic surgery embarks on a journey to find her missing friend. Uglies hits Netflix on Sep. 13, 2024.
