On Thursday, the trailer for After was released.
The immediate hype around the film was due to its origins in One Direction fanfiction. In 2013, then-24-year-old author Anna Todd began writing After on Wattpad, a fanfic in which Harry Styles is "a rude boy..with too many tattoos and piercings," leading protagonist Tessa Young astray. And yes, there are a fair amount fanfic-appropriate sexual encounters.
Since it was published on Wattpad, the series has had hundreds of millions of views and in 2014 it was turned into a book series from Simon and Schuster. For the books, Styles' name was changed to Hardin.
Both the books and the fanfic have had a mixed response — some enjoyed them, whereas others criticized them for bad writing and unhealthy portrayal of relationships.
Y’ALL IM FUCKING DONE THAT WAS THE BEST FUCKING TEASER TRAILER OMG @aftermovie @imaginator1d #aftermovie
I after seeing the trailer #AfterMovie
A lot of fans seem *very* focused on one particular scene.
THIS IS BREAKING ME ALREADY I WON'T HANDLE THE MOVIE #AfterMovie
Some have warned that the film could have potentially triggering elements.
If you've been in a toxic/abusive/controlling relationship, do NOT watch #AfterMovie. If it's anything like the fanfic, it might seriously trigger you.
And have kind of rejected the whole principle of the film.
And others have clarified that this is a film and, er, not Harry Styles' real life.
This #AfterMovie is FICTIONAL. It’s the fantasies of the writer and doesn’t represent harry or who he really is as a person. Just leaving this out here because some people seem to get it mixed up . Fictional.
