Acción Uglies
Proving that there really is nothing new in fiction, Cinema Blend (via) is reporting that 20th Century Fox have bought the rights to to the Scott Westerfeld novel Uglies.
Uglies is a futuristic story that takes typical teen anxieties (pimples, self-loathing) and spikes them with a fantasy twist. In the tale, kids are called “Uglies” until they reach 16 and get surgery to become the attractive “Pretties”, who then move into the fancy part of town. Trouble hits for one precocious teen that may be denied the surgery, unless she spies on a friend who skipped the operation and joined the rebels.
Maybe it’s just me, but when I read that description the first words to come to mind were Acción mutante.
