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, contains 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.
