Robert Zemeckis, the Oscar-winning director and master storyteller behind Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Death Becomes Her, and even “Tales From the Crypt” is back behind the camera for a brand new take on Roald Dahl’s The Witches for Warner Bros., which had previously been adapted by Nicolas Roeg back in 1990.
Originally slated for release in theaters this fall, Warner Bros. just revealed one helluva Halloween surprise – The Witches will be checking into HBO Max on October 22nd!
Described as being “visually innovative,” Zemeckis’s movie “tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Jahzir Kadeem Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Octavia Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. The boy and his grandmother come across some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, so Grandma wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort.”
“Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Anne Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.”
Produced and co-written by Guillermo del Toro, the trailer is coming soon.
