THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS First Trailer Is Pure Magic

Richard E. Grant is Shiver, Keira Knightley is The Sugar Plum Fairy, Eugenio Derbrez is Hawthorne and Mackenzie Foy is Clara in Disney’s THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS.

For some, it’s a annual holiday tradition. Attend a performance of The Nutcracker in December. Choreographer George Balanchine’s production of Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker has become the most famous stage production of the ballet performed in the U.S. (Mikhail Baryshnikov’s production is the most famous television version).

On Tuesday, Disney debuted the first trailer for director Lasse Hallström’s version THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS. Watch Keira Knightley, Mackenzie Foy and Hellen Mirren in this magical first look at the movie.

All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets.

Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.

Keira Knightley is the Sugar Plum Fairy and Mackenzie Foy is Clara in THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS.

Starring Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy and featuring a special performance by Misty Copeland, Disney’s new holiday feature film NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS is directed by Lasse Hallström and inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale.

In theaters on Nov. 2, 2018.
