As it turns out, the Ya adaptation craze has expanded well beyond Hollywood and all the way to Europe. At least that's the case with Boy 7.
Adapted from a Ya novel by Mirjam Mous, the story follows Sam, a young man who wakes up on a train with no memory of who he is, where he is or how he got there. With only his backpack as a clue, he begins to piece together the mystery of his past and that past seems to include hacking, a detention centre and being turned into some sort of super soldier.
The story borrows heavily from a load of movies that preceded, everything from Memento to Hanna, but the trailer suggests a sleek, stylish and action packed thriller. Whether it manages to live up to or exceed its North American counterparts remains to be seen.
