Warner Bros. has dropped a new trailer for the re-adaptation of ‘The Witches’ set to arrive on HBO Max on October 22nd.
Starring Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stenley Tucci, Kristin Chenoweth, Chris Rock, Jahzir Kadeem Bruno, and Codie-Lei Eastick, the film is a re-imagining of Robert Zemeckis‘ Roald Dahl adaptation.
According to the rundown: “Reimagining Dahl’s beloved story for a modern audience, Zemeckis’s visually innovative film tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.”
