The Weinstein Company has released new images and character posters from Philip Noyce’s adaptation of the Lois Lowry novel “The Giver”.
Jeff Bridges plays the titular character, with Brenton Thwaites (”Maleficent”), Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes, and musician Taylor Swift co-starring.
The haunting story of THE GIVER centers on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. The film is based on Lois Lowry’s beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbury Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
