A MONSTER CALLS Teaser Trailer Is Here

Opening on October 14, 2016, here’s a first look at A MONSTER CALLS from Focus Features.

The visually spectacular drama is from acclaimed director Juan Antonio Bayona (THE IMPOSSIBLE, THE ORPHANGE), 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.

Written by Patrick Ness, based on his novel A Monster Calls, the cast also includes Academy Award nominees Liam Neeson, who will star in performance-capture and voiceover as the nocturnally visiting monster of the title, and Sigourney Weaver, who will portray Conor’s maternal grandmother; Toby Kebbell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), as Conor’s father

The creative team on A MONSTER CALLS includes production designer Eugenio Caballero, an Academy Award winner for Pan’s Labyrinth who previously collaborated with the director on The Impossible; costume designer Steven Noble (The Theory of Everything); and cinematographer Óscar Faura, who shot both The Impossible and The Orphanage for Mr. Bayona.
