Clip From Paul Feig's Netflix Fantasy Film THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL
Netflix has released a clip for the upcoming fantasy film The School for Good and Evil, which comes from director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, Spy) and it stars Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Sophia Anne Caruso and Sofia Wylie.
In the film, "Best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where fairytale legacies go to school: the School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. With her princess ambitions, Sophie knows she'll be picked for the School for Good and join the ranks of past students like Cinderella and Snow White."
"Meanwhile, Agatha, with her grim aesthetic and wicked cat, seems a natural fit for the villains in the School for Evil. Yet soon the girls find their fortunes reversed: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, Agatha into the School for Good. But what if the mistake is the first clue to discovering who Sophie and Agatha really are? Their friendship will be put to the test in this thrilling and comedic story where the only way out of a fairy tale is to live through one."
This clip puts the focus on the character Agatha. The film is based on the best-selling book series which was written by Soman Chainani, and this first film is an adaptation of the first of six books in that series.
Paul Feig talked about the film, saying: "I'm truly excited to bring this amazing, touching, funny and empowering world that Soman created in his wonderful books to life. I feel like a frog that just turned into a prince." Chainani added: "To have one of your favorite directors adapt your book into a film for Netflix is an honor and a dream. Paul Feig is a brilliant filmmaker and a master of tone — a perfect fit for the twists and turns of The School for Good and Evil. I have no doubt that he will make a true fairy tale classic."
The School for Good and Evil comes to Netflix on October 19th.
