The Darkest Minds hits most of the key scenes from the novel, yet removes the characters’ and story’s depth. The movie is simultaneously rushed yet dull and tedious.
It’s the details that make or break an adaptation. With The Darkest Minds coming out later this week, a look at what minutiae should be included on the big screen to keep true to the book.
The Darkest Minds dropped by San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, toting along its four stars Amandla Stenberg, Harris Dickinson, Skylan Brooks, and Miya Cech, its director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, and the book’s author, Alexandra Bracken.
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken is being adapted for film and it’s exactly the kind of movie we need right now to remind us how powerful kids can be.
On the five year anniversary of The Darkest Minds publication, Hypable is proud to announce author Alexandra Bracken will be writing a new novel in the series!
