Trailer For Paul Feig's Magical Fantasy Adventure Film THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD & EVIL
Netflix has released a new full trailer for it’s upcoming fantasy adventure film The School for Good & Evil, which comes from director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy, Ghostbusters, A Simple Favor).
The film is based on the book series by Soman Chainanitells, which tells the story of a group of boys and girls that are taken to an institution where they are trained to become fairy tale characters. This project looks like it ripped a lot of elements from the Harry Potter franchise. In fact, it’s like they wanted to make it look as much like the Harry Potter movies as possible.
The movie has a great ensemble cast that includes Kerry Washington, Charlize Theron, Sophia Anne Caruso, Sofia Wylie, Laurence Fishburne, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Flatters, Kit Young, Peter Serafinowicz, Rob Delaney, Mark Heap, Patti LuPone, and Rachel Bloom.
The movie is very uninteresting to me, but maybe you’ll like what you see. Here’s the synopsis that was shared:
In the village of Gavaldon, two misfits and best friends, Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), share the unlikeliest of bonds. Sophie, a lover of fairy tales, dreams of escaping her ordinary village life, while Agatha, with her grim aesthetic, has the makings of a real witch. Then one night under a blood red moon, a powerful force sweeps them away to the School for Good & Evil — where the true story of every great fairy tale begins. Yet something is amiss from the start: Sophie is dropped into the School for Evil, run by the glamorous and acid-tongued Lady Lesso (Charlize Theron), and Agatha in the School for Good, that's overseen by the sunny and kind Professor Dovey (Kerry Washington). According to the Schoolmaster (Laurence Fishburne), only true love's kiss can change the rules and send the girls to their rightful school. But when a dark and dangerous figure (Kit Young) with some mysterious ties to Sophie reemerges and threatens to destroy the school and the rulebook entirely — the only way to a happy ending is to survive the fairytale first.
The School for Good & Evil will be released on Netflix on October 19th, 2022.
