Anyone who thinks  J.A. Bayona (THE IMPOSSIBLE) doesn’t have what it takes to direct the upcoming JURASSIC WORLD follow-up may be singing a different tune after watching this fantastic new trailer for A MONSTER CALLS. Coming hot on the heals of Steven Spielberg’s big screen adaptation of THE BFG, this films looks considerably darker but it also appears to have a quite a bit of heart. Oh, and Liam Neeson is the voice of the monster! Yes, please.

SYNOPSIS:

“A visually spectacular drama from acclaimed director Juan Antonio Bayona (“The Impossible”), based on the award-winning children’s fantasy novel. 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall) attempts to deal with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) illness and the bullying of his classmates by escaping into a fantastical world of monsters and fairy tales that explore courage, loss, and faith.”

RELEASE DATE:

A MONSTER CALLS opens in theaters October 21st, 2016!
