“After” Trailer, Clips, Posters & Interview with Todd

Bad boys are sexy, but be careful.

Tessa, played by Josephine Langford and directed by Jenny Gage, Anna Todd’s best-selling novel After comes to the silver screen in this soft-porn movie.

After the novel became a publishing sensation on the social storytelling platform Wattpad. As a movie, the visceral and inner thoughts might be hard to convey. The story follows Tessa, a good girl, a dedicated student, and a dutiful daughter.

She is also a loyal girlfriend to her high school sweetheart. When she enters her first semester in college with only positive and grand ideas for her future, her cocoon world opens up when she meets the dark and mysterious Hardin Scott, played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin.

Tessa is drawn to Hardin as a magnetic, brooding rebel who makes her question all she thought she knew about herself and what she wants out of life.

If you haven’t read the book, you can tell by the movie trailer that Hardin is a dark and tragic character – a naughty boy. The story makes going to college a whole new way of getting an education.

Do you recognize Hero Fiennes Tiffin? He played another bad boy in a top-rated franchise—the young Tom Riddle in the 6th Harry Potter movie.

The young-adult romance stars Peter Gallagher, Jennifer Beals, and Selma Blair.
Shane Paul McGhie has a decent role and is starring with Taraji P. Henson in What Men Want.

It looks like Gage worked her way up in the film industry as a production assistant to a documentarian, and now her directorial debut with After.

The five movie clips are the story, and one has a theme song. Enjoy them while they last.

After is the first movie, and there are others you’ll find on Amazon.

I include an interview with the author of the online and celebrated book. I don’t understand all the sites or terminology she uses to describe how the book After became an Internet sensation. Anna Todd seems low-key and calm about her success in bringing Tessa and Hardin together.
