AFTER, the movie based on the bestselling novel by Anna Todd, is slated to hit theaters April 12. You can be among the first to see it at a “one-night only” fan premiere on Wednesday, April 10. Register for showings in select cities at Gathr.com/After. Screenings will go forward in theaters that hit the 50 seat reservation goal. Ticket prices vary by location. Gathr is also offering a Premium Package with a T-shirt for an additional $17.99 (including shipping).
AFTER stars Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin and is directed by Jenny Gage. From the synopsis: “Based on Anna Todd’s best-selling novel which became a publishing sensation on social storytelling platform Wattpad, AFTER follows Tessa (Langford), a dedicated student, dutiful daughter and loyal girlfriend to her high school sweetheart, as she enters her first semester in college. Armed with grand ambitions for her future, her guarded world opens up when she meets the dark and mysterious Hardin Scott (Tiffin), a magnetic, brooding rebel who makes her question all she thought she knew about herself and what she wants out of life.”
Todd is the latest author to see what was once fan fic come to the big screen. The trailer definitely has whiffs of Twilight to me with good girl-bad boy vibes. As always, fandom had strong reactions to the trailer, both pro and con. Cosmopolitan recaps the book’s origins and the reaction to it here.
