Based on the James Patterson series of the same name, MAXIMUM RIDE follows six children genetically cross-bred with avian DNA as they take flight around the country to discover their origins. Yeah! Sure! Why not?!? I'm not sure if those wings come with the ability to do kung fu, but you can check out some of the avian action with the following trailer!
I'm not saying that most Young Adult series are bad, but they certainly don't seem to make for the greatest film adaptations. Patterson, in particular, is an author who's incredibly easy to read because of his insanely short chapters. I'm not sure if that experience can be replicated in a film medium, but it looks like Paramount Pictures is going to try!
MAXIMUM RIDE sees a Digital HD release on August 30 and a limited theatrical and On Demand release on September 30.
