A Monster Calls trailer
The first A Monster Calls trailer, the new film from Juan Antonio Bayona, which stars Lewis MacDougall, Felicity Jones, Toby Kebbell, Liam Neeson, and Sigourney Weaver, has just debuted online.
The film is based on the award-winning children’s fantasy novel by Patrick Ness. The film follows 12-year-old Conor’s (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.
Bayona delighted with his film The Orphanage and the tsunami drama Impossible a couple of years back. A Monster Calls arrives in cinemas on October 14, 2016.
Check out the A Monster Calls trailer below, followed by the detailed synopsis of the source novel.
The monster showed up just after midnight. As they do. But it isn’t the monster Conor’s been expecting. He’s been expecting the one from his nightmare, the one he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming…The monster in his back garden, though, this monster is something different. Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Costa Award winner Patrick Ness spins a tale from the final idea of much-loved Carnegie Medal winner Siobhan Dowd, whose premature death from cancer prevented her from writing it herself. Darkly mischievous and painfully funny, A Monster Calls is an extraordinarily moving novel of coming to terms with loss from two of our finest writers for young adults.
