Amazon拿下Jenny Han的YA小说《我变美的那夏天 The Summer I Turned Pretty》(《致所有我曾爱过的男孩 To All the Boys I've Loved Before》作者的另一作品)改编权,并准备弄成一部8集剧,作者本人会负责首集剧本。
《我变美的那夏天》是部多代电视剧,剧情包括女主与两兄弟之间的三角恋,亦有各个母亲和自己子女的关系及女性友谊的题材。
The summer before college, bright-yet-irreverent Elliott comes face-to-face with her older self during a mushroom trip. The encounter spurs a funny and heartfelt journey of self-discovery and first love as Elliott prepares to leave her childhood home.
Writer-director Megan Park’s tender, surprising sophomore feature cleverly uses its high-concept premise of a visit from one’s future self to launch a refreshing, nuanced exploration of the uncertainties of young romance and coming of age. My Old Ass is a sweet teenage love story, a lively contemporary comedy, and a quirky riff on time-travel films all in one.
Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza have a terrific unlikely chemistry, as the sass and self-assuredness of the young Elliott, as played by Stella, blends and overlaps with Plaza’s sardonic humor as a more mature Elliott. The care and affection shown in the film’s depiction of Elliott’s rural hometown in her last days before taking off for adulthood visually highlights her emotional journey, evoking a nostalgia for days that haven’t even ended yet.—HZ
