Netflix’s ‘Uglies’ Movie Vs. Book: What’s Different?
Several changes were made to the Netflix adaptation of 'Uglies' by Scott Westerfeld, which stars Joey King, Chase Stokes, Laverne Cox and more.
The Netflix film, directed by McG and adapted by Jacob Forman, Vanessa Taylor and Whit Anderson captures the first book’s plot as Tally ( Joey King) originally leaves her city to rescue her friend Shay (Brianne Tju) but discovers more than she bargained for in the process. In the film, Peris expresses to Dr. Cable that he felt good going back to Uglyville, and she took that as a signal that he still had his old sentiments about the place and Tally despite having had the operation, meaning the brain lesions weren’t working on him. The cure is two combined liquids in the film versus pills that Maddy (Charmin Lee), David’s mother, makes after stealing nanosynth from Dr. Cable’s lab.
