The Giver hits theaters laster this year, and recently the Huffington Post revealed the official The Giver most poster! Check it out below:
I'll be real honest, this is one YA movie adaptation I've not been a fan of. I know, *gasp*. I loved this book, and having seen some poorly done book to movie adaptations recently, I feel this one will fall under the, "didn't do the book justice" category. I'm basing that on the movie trailer. After seeing it, I don't think that what I loved about the book will be portrayed correctly on the big screen. I hope I'm proven wrong. There's a stellar cast, but we all know no matter how good the acting is, the directing and the script can totally ruin a movie, hence a certain movie that won't be named.
Honestly, until now I've not even posted about the movie here on the blog because of that. I'm kinda of digging the movie poster. What do you think about the post? Is this a movie you'll go see?
