Teaser for the Ghost Hunting Adventure Series LOCKWOOD & CO. From ATTACK THE BLOCK Director Joe Cornish
Netflix has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming supernatural ghost-hunting adventure series Lockwood & Co. This looks like it’ll be a great show! I love this kind of stuff, and the best part is that it comes from director Joe Cornish who previously brought us films such as Attack the Block and The Kid Who Would Be King. He tells super fun stories!
In this series, a “girl with extraordinary psychic abilities joins two gifted teen boys at a small ghost-hunting agency to fight the many deadly spirits haunting London.”
The teaser below is a clip from the series that features an encounter that two characters have with a malevolent spirit and it’s quite the swashbuckling adventure scene! The two characters face off with a ghost and as one is in danger the other is fighting off the ghost with a sword. I love it!
The series is based on the supernatural novels by Jonathan Stroud, and Cornish is the perfect talent to bring these stories to life! Cornish previously talked about the series saying: "[A ghost] can make you jump or it can scare, but in terms of actual physical threat, movies sometimes struggle. Suddenly, you're in a new kind of ghost story, where you can arm yourself against a ghost and use skill and intelligence and tactics to outsmart it."
The series stars Ruby Stokes as Lucy Carlyle, Cameron Chapman as Anthony Lockwood, and Ali Hadji-Heshmati as George Karim. The movie is set to be released on January 27th, 2023.
