Netflix unveils first teaser for The School for Good and Evil – and it's giving us Harry Potter meets Disney Princess vibes
gamesradar.comNetflix has finally unveiled the first teaser for upcoming fantasy movie The School For Good and Evil, and it's giving us major Harry Potter meets Disney Princess vibes.
Starring Kerry Washington and Charlize Theron, the film was helmed by Bridesmaids and Ghostbusters director Paul Feig, and based on the six-book series of the same name by Soman Chainani – the first of which was published back in May 2013. Adapted to screen by Vanessa Taylor, David Magee, and Feig, it centers on Sophie (Sophia Anne Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia Wylie), a couple of free-spirited best friends who are kidnapped and taken to the titular enchanted academy.
As their fortunes are reversed, the girls are forced onto opposing sides: Sophie, originally believed to be a princess, sent to the School for Evil, and Agatha, an oddity who is assumed to be a witch by the villagers, sent to the School for Good. With their bond put to the ultimate test, can the pair work together to escape and return home?
Jamie Flatters (as Tedros), Joelle, Rachel Bloom, Earl Cave (as Hort), Kit Young (Rafal), Patti LuPone, Mark Heap (Professor Manley), Rob Delaney, Peter Serafinowicz, Ben Kingsley, Laurence Fishburne (School Master), and Michelle Yeoh (Professor Emma Anemone) are among those rounding out the star-studded supporting cast.
"Did you ever wonder where every great fairy tale begins? Where the good become heroes, and the evil become villains?" Theron's Lady Leonora Lesso, the former Dean of the School of Evil, can be heard saying in the trailer. "Welcome, we've been expecting you."
