Interesting facts

  • Based on: Maximum Ride

Maximum Ride is a 2016 American science fiction film based on the novel series of the same name by James Patterson. It adapts the first half of The Angel Experiment, the first book in the series. YouTube personality Jenna Marbles served as an executive producer of the film.

Production

In September 2007, it was announced that a film would be created based on the Maximum Ride series. James Patterson would be the executive producer. Avi Arad, who had already worked on films such as Spider-Man and X-Men, would also produce alongside Steven Paul. In an interview with James Patterson, it was revealed that Arad has already planned out the first two movies.

The film ran into trouble in early 2012, when Catherine Hardwicke quit as the film director. When asked about the odds of a movie still being made, Patterson claimed he was "...very hopeful as opposed to mildly depressed". Trouble continued with the death of screenplay writer Don Payne on March 26, 2013.

With the film stalled by mid-2014, the series was submitted for adaptation into a web series by Collective Digital Studio. Sites attached to Patterson and Hachette claimed that the series would begin in the second half of 2015.

The completed film, starring Allie Marie Evans as Maximum Ride, was released on Digital HD on August 30, 2016.
