This Poster For THE NEW MUTANTS Embraces The Horror Aspect of the Film
A new poster for director Josh Boone's The New Mutants has been released and as you can see, it embraces the horror theme of the film. I was really impressed with the first trailer that was released and I love the fact that it's being developed as a superhero horror movie.
In fact, this is just the first of a trilogy of New Mutant films that will be horror themed. It was previously explained that each film will explore a different aspect of the horror movie genre.
“We brought it to FOX as a trilogy of films, really all based on that long run by Sienkiewicz, and kind of incorporates some stuff from later issues in the ‘80s. These are all going to be horror movies, and they'll all be their own distinct kind of horror movies. This is certainly the ‘rubber-reality’ supernatural horror movie. The next one will be a completely different kind of horror movie.”
I'm a big fan of this concept and I really hope that Boone and his team can effectively pull off what they are trying to accomplish. Here's the description of the upcoming film:
Held in a secret facility against their will, five new mutants have to battle the dangers of their powers, as well as the sins of their past. They aren’t out to save the world — they’re just trying to save themselves.
The New Mutants stars Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Wolfsbane, Anya Taylor-Joy (Split) as Magik, Charlie Heaton as Cannonball, Blu Hunt as Dani Moonstar, and Henry Zaga as Sunspot.
The New Mutants is set to hit theaters on April 13, 2018.
