13 Reasons Why (film)

13 Reasons Why is an idea by Noah Flores, for a film adaptation of the YA novel, Thirteen Reasons Why, by Jay Asher

Premise
When a teen boy mysteriously receives a box of cassettes, with recordings created by a girl who committed suicide weeks prior, containing the reasons she took her life, he decides to listen to them that night to uncover the truth.

Development
Writer/director Noah Flores, who read and watched the book and series, respectively, decided he wanted an adaptation closer to the book. With that, he noticed the series took the more realistic approach, so he wanted his adaptation to be more artistic. Flores states Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), and Swiss Army Man as inspirations. Zack Snyder and wife, Deborah Snyder, were chosen as executive producers by Noah Flores, and they agreed as their daughter, Autumn, committed suicide in 2017, and they wanted to help spread a message.

Music
Flores hired composer Junkie XL to do the music. He wanted the music to have the same feel of the scores of The Social Network and Her.

Sequels
Flores says he would do a trilogy if people ask for it. He heavily confirms that if it were to happen, it would not be based on Seasons 2 or 3 of the show.
