Fox 2000 released an international poster to the highly anticipated film adaptation of best-selling YA novel The Hate U Give,<\/strong> which will arrive in select theaters on October 5, then nationwide on Oct. 19.<\/p>\n

Based on the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller by Angela Thomas<\/strong>, The Hate U Give is a timely, powerful and thought-provoking story of race and identity, told from the perspective of Starr Carter, played by Amandla Stenberg<\/strong> (The Hunger Games, As You Are). Starr is constantly switching between two worlds: the poor, mostly black, neighborhood where she lives and the rich, mostly white, prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. What Starr does-or does not-say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.<\/p>\n

Directed by George Tillman Jr.<\/strong> (Soul Food, Men of Honor, Notorious) from a screenplay by Tina Mabry<\/strong>\u00a0and Audrey Wells<\/strong>, the film also stars Regina Hall<\/strong> and Russell Hornsby<\/strong> as Starr\u2019s parents Lisa and Maverick. Lamar Johnson<\/strong> will play Seven, Starr’s older brother. Detroit’s Algee Smith<\/strong> will play Starr’s childhood friend, Khalil. Common<\/strong> will play Starr\u2019s uncle who is a police officer. Issa Rae<\/strong> plays April, the activist that helps Stenberg\u2019s character find her voice and speak up. Anthony\u00a0Mackie<\/strong> will portray local drug dealer, King, while K.J. Apa<\/strong> will portray the boyfriend of Amandla Stenberg’s Starr. Singer-songwriter and actress Sabrina Carpenter<\/strong> will play Hailey, one of Starr\u2019s friends from her prep school.<\/p>\n

The Hate U Give spent 63 weeks on The New York Times young adult best-seller list after debuting at No.1. The title comes from a tattoo worn by Tupac Shakur (the acronym T.H.U.G.). The film\u2019s producers are Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen and Bob Teitel.<\/p>\n
