First GOOSEBUMPS Trailer Unleashes Monsters on The World
Jack Black stars as a fictionalized version of author R.L. Stine in Goosebumps, the new family adventure film loosely based on the classic kids' books. The first trailer has dropped, and it's essentially a modern day take on Jumanji but with monsters and creatures that will be familiar to diehard Goosebumps fans. I haven't read those books since I was a kid, but this looks like it might be a fun movie for people who have fond memories of the books or for a younger audience who are just discovering them now.
Goosebumps hits theaters on October 16th.
Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it’s suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.
