There is a hopeful note in certain values that I really appreciate it. And so for me, it was key and, and part of what made me interested in it, was that if this scary, dystopian story, which actually has a hopeful undercurrent. I'm not particularly interested for the audience to leave, from the cinema or their own screen, with a kind of completely bleak point of view. The book also has a kind of positive ending and I would not have wanted to do an apocalyptic movie that didn't have a hopeful ending. The film's director, Susanna Bier, told Polygon, "The movie is slightly more positive. Malorie will meet other survivors, including Tom (Trevante Rhodes, the actor who starred in the acclaimed 2016 film Moonlight), and Douglas, played by John. In the book, Malorie and the kids still make it to the sanctuary but learn that many of the people there had intentionally blinded themselves in order to stay safe after a creature got in.
The film ends with Malorie and her kids getting to the school for the blind and finally being able to take their blindfolds off for good. Following Toms death and the births of the children, Malorie continues the work Tom started, even driving miles in the car without vision to obtain audio.
The film's director didn't want such a dark ending. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
