What happens

The Darkest Minds is a 2018 American dystopian science fiction film directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson (in her live action feature length directorial debut), written by Chad Hodge and produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Levine. The film stars Amandla Stenberg, Harris Dickinson, Mandy Moore and Gwendoline Christie. Based on Alexandra Bracken's 2012 young adult novel of the same name, it follows a group of children who are on the run from the government after obtaining superpowers due to a mysterious infection. On September 15, 2014, it was announced that 20th Century Fox had bought the rights to the novel and that Levy would produce the film through his 21 Laps Entertainment. Stenberg was cast two years later on September 26, 2016, and principal photography began in April 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Darkest Minds was released in the United States on August 3, 2018. It received negative reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
