The celebration wasn’t just notable for the presence of celebrities but also for the excitement surrounding Keith Powers’ upcoming movie, “Uglies.” The film, set in a futuristic world, explores the theme of cosmetic surgery being a rite of passage at the age of 16. This storyline is a plot twist, especially as Keith is considered one of the prettiest actors in Hollywood.

The director of “Uglies,” McG, shared insights about the film, mentioning that the society depicted in the movie believes that cosmetic surgery can eradicate conflict by allowing individuals to look the way they wish. This concept reflects on our current societal obsessions.

“Basically what happens is, you’re afforded a surgery when you turn 16-years-old so you can look any way you want to look,” director McG told Netflix. “It’s the belief of the society that if we all look the way we want, you can eradicate conflict.”

Based on Scott Westerfeld’s best-selling novel, “Uglies” stars an impressive cast including Joey King, Chase Stokes, Brianne Tju, Jan Luis Castellanos, Charmin Lee, and Laverne Cox. This talented ensemble is set to bring the story to life, exploring deeper meanings of beauty and societal expectations.

“The film’s really about beauty as interior,” McG continued. “It’s a commentary on what we’re experiencing today, where so many people can’t just take a photograph and post it on social media.”

“You’ve got to put it through the filter, you’ve got to edit it, you’ve got to do the 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, it’s a much more fruitful way to live.”

“Uglies” releases globally on Netflix on September 13, 2024.
