Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming sci-fi thriller Uglydirected by McG (Terminator: Salvation).
The film is set in “a futuristic world where plastic surgery is mandatory at 16. Tally can’t wait to join the rest of society. But when a friend runs away, Tally embarks on a journey to save her that turns everything she’s ever wanted upside down.”
The film is based on the 2005 novel and has become a type of story that has become increasingly relevant over the years. The main roles in the film Joey Kingwho said: “I think it’s super relevant that we do this now.”
McG said: “The film is really about beauty as an internal manifestation. It’s a commentary on what we’re experiencing today, where so many people can’t just take a photo and post it on social media.”
“You have to put it through the filter, you have to edit it, you have to do the right 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 enough, this is a much more fruitful way to live.”
Ugly also with Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Keith Powers, Charmin Lee, Jan Luis Castellano and Laverne Cox.
Ugly will be released on Netflix on September 13, 2024. There are even hoverboards in the film!
