Uglies’ Keith Powers and Chase Stokes Discuss Making Their Hit Netflix Movie

Keith Powers stomped onto the big screen as Dr. Dre’s half brother Tyree in the blockbuster hit Straight Outta Compton. Before long he (unluckily) found himself fighting in a future war and (quite luckily) falling in love with Gabrielle Union. After an appearance on Stranger Things, Chase Stokes was crowned leader of the Pogues in mystery fan-favorite Outer Banks. Now the two performers act against one another in the new Netflix sci-fi epic Uglies. Directed by McG and based on the novel Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Uglies centers around a future post-apocalyptic dystopian society in which a compulsory operation wipes out physical differences and makes everyone pretty. Joey King’s Tally Youngblood escapes to a renegade settlement called the Smoke, where city runaways go to escape the operation. Chase Stokes plays Peris, best friend of Tally. Keith Powers plays David, son of the founders of the Smoke. Collider’s Steve Weintraub was lucky enough to chat with Keith Powers and Chase Stokes as they let him in on what it’s like to work with a swarm of stunt people, an eye-opening experience with Sean Penn, and how difficult it can be to recite dialogue and drive stick at the same time! #uglies #keithpowers #chasestokes For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
