In 2007, director J.A. Bayona got us shivering in suspense and ultimately broke our hearts with his phenomenal film The Orphanage (El Orfanto), which is still hailed as one of the best thriller/horror films of the 2000’s (and rightfully so). Now, Bayona returns us once again to a world of imagination and family struggles with his upcoming fantasy adventure A Monster Calls.
“A young boy (Lewis MacDougall) escapes into a fantasy world of monsters and fairy tales as a way to cope with his mother’s (Felicity Jones) illness and bullies at school.”
As well as Jones and MacDougall, A Monster Calls stars Liam Neeson and Sigourney Weaver. It will be released on October 21 in the US.
