Liam Neeson introduces the new trailer for ‘A Monster Calls’

Coming to cinemas later this year is the feature adaptation of A Monster Calls, the JA Bayona-directed film actually arriving in October.

Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones, Toby Kebbell, Lewis MacDougall, and Liam Neeson star in the film, the latter of whom who actually introduces this new promo.

Here’s the plot.

A visually spectacular drama from director J.A. Bayona (“The Impossible”). 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall), dealing with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) illness, a less-than-sympathetic grandmother (Sigourney Weaver), and bullying classmates, finds a most unlikely ally when a Monster appears at his bedroom window. Ancient, wild, and relentless, the Monster guides Conor on a journey of courage, faith, and truth. Toby Kebbell plays Conor’s father, and Liam Neeson stars in performance-capture and voiceover as the nocturnally visiting Monster of the title.

A Monster Calls will hit cinemas on October 21. Watch the brand new trailer, and check out the brand new one-sheet poster below.
