Collider Interviews | Uglies Interview: Joey King and Brianne Tju Discuss Their New Netflix Movie @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Winning over audiences as a child in favorites like White House Down and Crazy Stupid Love, Joey King earned top-billing status on the massively successful Kissing Booth series for Netflix. Since then, she's been nominated for both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her star-making turn in The Act. Now she’s back with Netflix as both superstar lead and executive producer on the upcoming Uglies. King stars alongside newly-coronated scream queen Brianne Tju, known for her monster performances in 47 Meters Down: Uncaged and both the Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer TV series.
Directed by McG and based on the novel by Scott Westerfeld, Uglies centers around a future post-apocalyptic dystopian society in which a compulsory operation wipes out physical differences and makes everyone pretty. King stars as clever Tally Youngblood alongside Tju as Tally’s best friend Shay. In addition, the movie co-stars Laverne Cox as Dr. Cable, Chase Stokes as Peris, Keith Powers as David, and more.
Collider’s Steve Weintraub had the chance to sit down and chat with executive producer and star King and co-lead Tju about the Uglies novel series, potential sequels, hoverboards, and having peas spit in your face.
