20th Century Fox has released the first trailer and poster for the screen adaptation of “The Darkest Minds,” based on the 2012 YA novel by Alexandra Bracken.

Set in an alternate America where a pandemic has killed most people under 20-years-old. The film is the story of teens with superpowers who are taken from their families and placed inside internment camps.”
When Ruby (Stenberg) woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something alarming enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that gets her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that’s killed most of America’s children, but she and the others have emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they cannot control. Now sixteen-years-old, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her: East River. She joins a group of kids who escaped their own camp. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at a life worth living.
Christie will play, “a bounty hunter of fugitive teens who takes immense pleasure in her vicious job.”
Darkest Minds hits theaters on August 3, 2018
