A Monster Calls Gets A New Teaser Trailer

Patrick Ness adapted his own acclaimed novel, which follows 12-year-old Conor (Lewis MacDougall), who is dealing with the pressures of his mother's (Felicity Jones) illness and a few problematic bullies at school.

"A Monster Calls" stars Lewis MacDougall as a young boy who escapes his unhappy reality by slipping into a dark fantasy world. The film stars Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones, Toby Kebbell, Geraldine Chaplin, and Liam Neeson as the monster. "It was not that he was actually invisible, it was just that people had become used to not seeing him", Neeson growls in the trailer.

I actually really enjoyed the book, and I'm excited to see how the film translates the book and all the ideas of speaking the truth, coping with issues, and having the courage to overcome any obstacle. But it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the nightmare he's had almost every night since his mother started her treatments.

Look for A Monster Calls in theatres via Focus Features nationwide this October 14, 2016.

We have come to expect several things from director Juan Antonio Bayona, thanks to a lengthy filmography that includes The Orphanage and The Impossible.
