Trailer for the Magic-Fueled Adventure Film THE MAGIC FLUTE
Shout Factory has released a trailer for its upcoming magical fantasy adventure filmThe Magic Flute, and it’s a reimagining of the classic Mozart opera of the same name.
The movie is executive produced by Roland Emmerich, and the story follows a 17-year-old boy named Tim Walker as he travels from London to the Austrian Alps where he attends the legendary Mozart boarding school. It’s there he discovers an ancient passage into the fantastical world of Mozart's The Magic Flute.
The synopsis says this is a “captivating film that follows a teen on two journeys: one into a prestigious boarding school to fulfill his aspirations as a singer, and into a parallel world filled with fantasy & adventure. Tim (Jack Wolfe) has been dreaming his whole life about attending Mozart All Boys Music School, but already his first days there confront him with a hostile headmaster (F. Murray Abraham), the stresses of a first love, and serious doubts about the authenticity of his singing voice. When he discovers a mystical gateway in the school's library, he is pulled into the fantastic cosmos of Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, where imagination has no limits and the Queen of the Night (Sabine Devieilhe) reigns.”
Emmerich said in a statement: "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's masterpiece The Magic Flute has always been my favorite opera ever since I experienced this magical story as a young adult. I was immediately drawn to the concept of cinematically reimagining this story when the filmmaking team approached me with their idea, which I was thrilled to champion. The entire team brought their fantastic vision to the screen in an exciting and innovative way. I look forward to Shout! Studios bringing this epic journey to audiences to once again be enchanted by the universally acclaimed and world-famous music."
The movie also stars Iwan Rheon, Stéfi Celma, Asha Banks, Stefan Konarske, Niamh McCormack, Amir Wilson, and Tedros Teclebrhan. It seems like the kind of thing you’d see on the SyFy Channel or something. Shout Factory will release The Magic Flute in theaters on March 10th, 2023.
