Check out three new images from this summer's The Giver adaptation, starring Jeff Bridges, Katie Holmes, and Taylor Swift.
The Young Adult craze that is sweeping through Hollywood at the moment is seeing many recent best-sellers hit the big screen at an impressive rate, but it’s also allowed the first big screen adaptation of one of the genre’s all time classics.
The haunting story of a society that chooses a person’s worth and duty as an adolescent “gift,” The Giver from author Lois Lowry has haunted young readers for decades and it’s ready for its big screen debut. Below, we get a good look at Jeff Bridges, Taylor Swift, Brenton Thwaites, Katie Holmes, and Alexander Skarsgard in the anticipated movie.
The haunting story of The Giver centers on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. The film is based on Lois Lowry’s beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The Giver will be in theaters everywhere August 15, 2014.
